saviour_n which_o you_o have_v beget_v in_o your_o carnal_a imagination_n and_o reason_n about_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n not_o know_v he_o who_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n

and_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n indeed_o and_o except_o you_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v not_o life_n in_o you_o but_o this_o be_v too_o
