with_o pure_a and_o open_a or_o to_o speak_v more_o plain_o with_o natural_a signification_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n suffer_v death_n be_v crucify_v etc._n mat._n 1.25_o 1_o pet._n 3.18_o 1_o cor._n 2.2_o joh._n 19.40_o etc._n etc._n dead_a and_o bury_v here_o very_o be_v nothing_o shadow_v with_o figure_n overcovering_a the_o same_o but_o the_o

the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v figurative_o christ_n body_n &_o blood_n for_o outward_o and_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v see_v neither_o be_v any_o kind_n or_o show_v of_o flesh_n

fleshly_a understanding_n 11.1_o heb._n 11.1_o and_o see_v that_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v the_o argument_n and_o evidence_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o appear_v not_o that_o be_v to_o
