this_o doctrine_n but_o for_o time_n sake_n i_o must_v omit_v it_o only_o for_o god_n sake_n see_v this_o that_o this_o their_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o untruth_n already_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o forget_v not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a stay_n of_o all_o popery_n and_o the_o pillar_n of_o their_o priesthood_n whereby_o christ_n priesthood_n sacrifice_n ministry_n and_o truth_n be_v let_v yea_o pervert_v and_o utter_o overthrow_v god_n our_o father_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n open_v the_o eye_n and_o mind_n of_o all_o our_o

matter_n what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v you_o see_v that_o to_o the_o sense_n and_o reason_n of_o man_n it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v most_o true_a as_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o otherwise_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v and_o therefore_o away_o with_o transubstantiation_n but_o here_o lest_o we_o shall_v make_v it_o no_o sacrament_n for_o a_o sacrament_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n and_o lest_o a_o man_n shall_v by_o this_o gather_v that_o we_o make_v it_o none_o other_o thing_n but_o bare_a bread_n and_o a_o naked_a sign_n and_o so_o rail_v at_o their_o pleasure_n on_o we_o say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o unworthy_a receive_n it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o bare_a bread_n and_o so_o forth_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o will_v now_o speak_v a_o little_a more_o hereabout_o by_o god_n grace_n to_o stop_v your_o mouth_n and_o so_o to_o stir_v up_o your_o good_a heart_n more_o to_o the_o worthy_a estimation_n and_o preception_n of_o this_o holy_a mystery_n when_o a_o love_a friend_n give_v to_o thou_o a_o thing_n or_o send_v to_o thou_o a_o token_n as_o for_o a_o example_n a_o napkin_n or_o such_o like_a i_o think_v thou_o do_v not_o as_o thou_o shall_v do_v if_o that_o with_o the_o thing_n thou_o consider_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o thy_o friend_n that_o send_v or_o give_v the_o thing_n and_o according_a thereunto_o esteem_v and_o receive_v it_o and_o so_o of_o this_o bread_n think_v i_o that_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o rather_o consider_v the_o mind_n of_o thy_o lover_n christ_n than_o the_o thing_n which_o thou_o see_v yea_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o altogether_o consider_v christ_n mind_n thou_o deal_v unhonest_o and_o strumpetlike_a with_o he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o strumpet_n to_o consider_v the_o thing_n give_v and_o send_v they_o rather_o than_o the_o love_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o sender_n whereas_o the_o true_a lover_n do_v not_o consider_v in_o any_o point_n the_o thing_n give_v or_o send_v but_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o party_n so_o we_o if_o we_o be_v true_a lover_n of_o christ_n must_v not_o consider_v hare_o the_o outward_a thing_n which_o we_o see_v and_o our_o sense_n perceive_v but_o rather_o altogether_o we_o must_v and_o shall_v see_v and_o consider_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o hereafter_o and_o according_o to_o it_o to_o esteem_v the_o sacrament_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n sure_o as_o a_o man_n mind_n be_v best_a know_v by_o his_o word_n so_o by_o christ_n word_n shall_v we_o know_v his_o mind_n now_o his_o word_n be_v manifest_a and_o most_o plain_a this_o say_v he_o be_v my_o body_n therefore_o according_o shall_v we_o esteem_v take_v and_o receive_v it_o if_o he_o have_v speak_v nothing_o or_o if_o he_o have_v speak_v doubtful_o then_o may_v we_o have_v be_v in_o some_o doubt_n but_o in_o that_o he_o speak_v so_o plain_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n who_o can_v may_v or_o

believe_v this_o i_o confess_v and_o pray_v you_o all_o hearty_o to_o beware_v of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a word_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sign_n or_o figure_n of_o his_o body_n except_o you_o

to_o be_v receive_v which_o our_o bodily_a mouth_n where_o there_o be_v no_o other_o presence_n of_o christ_n body_n then_o spiritual_a and_o to_o the_o faith_n in_o many_o place_n he_o keep_v still_o

the_o evil_a which_o be_v now_o a_o day_n most_o to_o be_v fear_v concern_v the_o sacrament_n i_o mean_v of_o contemn_v it_o as_o also_o for_o that_o no_o faithful_a man_n come_v to_o the_o
