this_o first_o supper_n for_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n say_v to_o his_o apostle_n end_n take_v eat_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o he_o speak_v the_o very_a same_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a

his_o body_n give_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o faithful_a hence_o then_o ensue_v that_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a appertain_v the_o commandment_n of_o take_v eat_v only_o and_o drink_v because_o he_o make_v the_o promise_n general_o to_o all_o and_o not_o only_o to_o the_o apostle_n &_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n and_o we_o may_v see_v this_o testify_v by_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n speak_v at_o large_a upon_o this_o mystery_n these_o be_v his_o word_n for_o we_o that_o be_v many_o 17._o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n because_o we_o all_o be_v partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n wherefore_o lady_n it_o appear_v plain_o that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o his_o blood_n likewise_o be_v not_o to_o be_v give_v to_o we_o in_o
