instruction_n the_o v._o ignorance_n touch_v their_o repentance_n they_o think_v that_o if_o they_o can_v say_v i_o cry_v god_n mercy_n for_o my_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o can_v make_v a_o show_n of_o

of_o the_o bless_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n a._o he_o be_v then_o to_o meditate_v how_o that_o 15_o god_n the_o father_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a love_n to_o mankind_n do_v set_v apart_o

and_o drink_v of_o the_o other_o he_o must_v then_o meditate_v and_o think_v with_o himself_o thus_o as_o i_o have_v now_o take_v and_o do_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o wine_n for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o my_o body_n and_o life_n temporal_a so_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v 25_o apprehend_v of_o i_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o receive_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o benefit_n which_o accrue_v to_o he_o thereby_o tell_v i_o now_o next_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n which_o he_o be_v to_o perform_v to_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o a._o to_o god_n he_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o his_o heart_n 7_o by_o way_n of_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o
