it_o be_v apt_a to_o digest_v it_o as_o we_o do_v in_o all_o other_o corporal_a meat_n the_o thirteen_o be_v that_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n even_o

that_o this_o be_v a_o figure_n by_o the_o which_o he_o command_v we_o to_o be_v partaker_n and_o to_o have_v communion_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o the_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o we_o must_v admit_v &_o allow_v his_o body_n to_o be_v infinite_a which_o thing_n entire_o derogate_v from_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o by_o the_o same_o

the_o eighteen_o be_v that_o if_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n corporal_o so_o little_a a_o body_n as_o he_o be_v be_v so_o break_v in_o piece_n and_o part_v shall_v not_o suffice_v
