a_o true_a body_n like_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o body_n which_o you_o fancy_v to_o be_v in_o the_o eucharist_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o our_o body_n for_o in_o this_o body_n there_o be_v no_o distance_n of_o one_o part_n from_o another_o as_o of_o eye_n from_o eye_n and_o head_n from_o foot_n neither_o have_v it_o any_o dimensive_a quantity_n and_o be_v all_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o here_o on_o earth_n in_o the_o sacrament_n at_o once_o yet_o not_o in_o the_o middle_a region_n between_o nor_o separate_v from_o himself_o but_o nothing_o of_o this_o can_v be_v affirm_v of_o our_o body_n or_o of_o any_o other_o organical_a body_n and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o you_o conceive_v of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o of_o a_o glorify_a body_n the_o plain_a scripture_n be_v against_o you_o that_o when_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n his_o body_n be_v yet_o uncrucify_v and_o unglorify_v your_o exposition_n therefore_o cross_v the_o analogy_n can_v possible_o be_v good_a as_o for_o we_o thus_o we_o show_v it_o the_o text_n plain_o say_v that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o his_o last_o supper_n take_v bread_n bless_v it_o break_v it_o and_o

therefore_o be_v it_o figurative_o to_o be_v understand_v how_o so_o thus._n i_o look_v into_o plain_a scripture_n and_o there_o i_o find_v that_o as_o the_o evangelist_n call_v it_o bread_n before_o consecration_n so_o saint_n paul_n call_v it_o bread_n after_o consecration_n 28._o 1._o cor._n 11.26_o ib._n v._n 27._o ib._n v._n 28._o as_o often_o say_v he_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n unworthy_o and_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o change_v but_o remain_v still_o bread_n then_o i_o consider_v further_o that_o our_o saviour_n now_o institute_n a_o sacrament_n and_o that_o in_o sacramental_a action_n sacramental_a phrase_n be_v usual_a and_o the_o outward_a sign_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n 7.10_o gen._n 7.10_o circumcision_n be_v call_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o lamb_n the_o passeover_n and_o in_o the_o new_a 12.11_o ex._n 12.11_o the_o cup_n be_v call_v the_o new_a testament_n or_o covenant_n whereupon_o i_o infer_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a 22.20_o luc._n 22.20_o that_o these_o word_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v this_o bread_n be_v sacramental_o my_o body_n or_o the_o sacramental_a sign_n of_o my_o body_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o clear_v this_o one_o passage_n how_o other_o dark_a place_n also_o may_v receive_v light_n from_o those_o that_o be_v plain_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v to_o build_v upon_o consequence_n wherein_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v deceive_v whereunto_o i_o answer_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v
