63._o thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n i_o think_v a_o reasonable_a man_n must_v acknowledge_v that_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o understand_v our_o saviour_n expression_n as_o the_o

all_o the_o rest_n assent_v v._o 69._o and_o st._n peter_n have_v thus_o show_v plain_o enough_o what_o he_o understand_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n viz._n his_o doctrine_n or_o
