their_o first_o element_n or_o to_o the_o first_o substance_n of_o their_o nature_n beside_o it_o happen_v sometime_o that_o a_o man_n be_v eat_v of_o a_o wolf_n a_o wolf_n of_o a_o lion_n a_o lion_n of_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n which_o afterward_o become_v the_o meat_n of_o other_o man_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o first_o man_n may_v not_o be_v discern_v from_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o latter_a man_n moreover_o this_o will_v the_o more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v of_o those_o anthropophagi_n be_v man_n that_o feed_v upon_o man_n flesh_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o

you_o be_v plentiful_o endue_v by_o christ_n do_v require_v therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o good_a will_n you_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v in_o

christ_n as_o touch_v his_o divine_a nature_n suffer_v not_o that_o christ_n as_o touch_v his_o divine_a nature_n suffer_v not_o i_o will_v indeed_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v bear_v that_o he_o
