order_n or_o the_o rest_n come_v to_o be_v call_v heresy_n and_o who_o have_v authority_n to_o declare_v they_o such_o if_o nothing_o that_o have_v reference_n to_o any_o of_o these_o particular_n

the_o bread_n contain_v both_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v think_v so_o he_o will_v have_v institute_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n the_o whole_a obligation_n of_o mystery_n depend_v only_o upon_o the_o

they_o do_v desire_v to_o hear_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v but_o whisper_v and_o talk_v and_o laugh_v except_o only_o at_o the_o elevation_n and_o if_o the_o congregation_n be_v great_a

for_o as_o the_o priest_n take_v more_o than_o ordinary_a care_n by_o a_o affect_a and_o industrious_a pronunciation_n not_o to_o have_v what_o he_o say_v understand_v so_o the_o people_n general_o
