not_o the_o accident_n but_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n can_v work_v this_o nourishment_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o take_v nature_n for_o substance_n it_o may_v well_o so_o be_v expound_v and_o

they_o say_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n cease_v and_o be_v quite_o take_v away_o but_o cyprian_n say_v the_o bread_n be_v but_o change_v in_o nature_n but_o still_o it_o remain_v bread_n you_o see_v for_o he_o so_o call_v it_o therefore_o because_o he_o utter_v it_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o mean_v not_o by_o that_o word_n nature_n the_o

that_o this_o word_n nature_n very_o often_o do_v not_o signify_v the_o substance_n and_o here_o it_o can_v signify_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n because_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o can_v
