to_o god_n himself_o the_o lutheran_n on_o the_o contrary_a know_v the_o sacrament_n to_o consist_v of_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o earthly_a the_o other_o heavenly_a direct_v their_o adoration_n not_o

god_n and_o man_n shall_v be_v adore_v in_o the_o action_n or_o use_n of_o his_o divine_a institution_n but_o labour_n to_o establish_v a_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n at_o other_o time_n than_o

local_o present_a in_o the_o bread_n or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o personal_a union_n between_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o christ_n have_v promise_v in_o that_o action_n his_o presence_n by_o his_o grace_n after_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n therefore_o as_o the_o israelite_n worship_v not_o the_o wood_n nor_o gold_n nor_o the_o cherubim_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o testimony_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o promise_v his_o presence_n there_o so_o the_o adoration_n which_o they_o give_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v

he_o say_v be_v because_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n presence_n can_v be_v extend_v beyond_o the_o intent_n and_o action_n which_o he_o institute_v so_o that_o there_o appear_v a_o visible_a and_o
