which_o see_v it_o can_v be_v verify_v of_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o sacrament_n whereof_o both_o the_o godly_a &_o the_o wicked_a be_v partaker_n it_o prove_v not_o only_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v

be_v partaker_n be_v always_o therewith_o nourish_v as_o it_o be_v with_o heavenly_a bread_n shall_v likewise_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o heavenly_a life_n therefore_o let_v not_o that_o offend_v

be_v oftentimes_o repeat_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o sermon_n as_o in_o the_o 50._o verse_n this_o be_v the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n that_o a_o man_n may_v eat_v thereof_o and_o not_o die_v and_o in_o the_o 51_o if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o in_o the_o 54_o who_o so_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o

which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n not_o as_o your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n and_o be_v dead_a he_o that_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o whereupon_o origen_n right_o observe_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v betwixt_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o typical_a or_o symbolical_a for_o so_o he_o call_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o true_a body_n of_o christ._n of_o the_o

whosoever_o eat_v this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o the_o like_a difference_n do_v s._n augustine_n also_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n make_v betwixt_o the_o eat_n of_o christ_n body_n sacramental_o and_o real_o for_o have_v affirm_v that_o wicked_a man_n 25._o may_v not_o be_v say_v to_o eat_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v among_o the_o
