of_o the_o ephesian_n eph._n 5.30_o where_o he_o say_v we_o be_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n but_o say_v he_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o know_v christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n attend_v with_o all_o those_o infirmity_n as_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o in_o his_o suffer_a estate_n answ_n if_o by_o the_o body_n of_o flesh_n that_o christ_n have_v he_o mean_v the_o church_n which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o which_o christ_n the_o power_n and_o word_n be_v head_n and_o they_o member_n of_o than_o i_o be_o one_o with_o he_o
