in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o do_v not_o only_o represent_v unto_o you_o the_o manner_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o in_o visible_a action_n set_v before_o you_o what_o he_o suffer_v on_o the_o

not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o never_o see_v you_o never_o behold_v god_n with_o any_o eye_n but_o that_o of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o can_v never_o have_v opportunity_n if_o he_o need_v it_o to_o show_v any_o kindness_n to_o his_o person_n so_o that_o all_o you_o can_v do_v to_o testify_v you_o love_v he_o be_v your_o obedience_n to_o

the_o needy_a and_o i_o mention_v this_o latter_a act_n of_o charity_n because_o i_o find_v that_o something_o be_v ever_o give_v to_o the_o corban_n of_o the_o poor_a by_o those_o who_o come_v to_o
