he_o talk_v of_o in_o this_o treatise_n he_o shall_v have_v hold_v to_o his_o point_n and_o not_o impugn_a what_o he_o suppose_v but_o if_o he_o suppose_v no_o such_o real_a or_o substantial_a

against_o transubstantiation_n then_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o only_o as_o he_o will_v make_v it_o with_o the_o catholic_n but_o with_o the_o lutheran_n also_o and_o those_o of_o his_o own_o

on_o their_o side_n and_o for_o the_o other_o point_n viz._n the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o both_o kind_n they_o be_v sure_a that_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o party_n
