song_n and_o that_o be_v humane_a answ_n we_o have_v none_o of_o the_o word_n in_o our_o own_o tongue_n which_o be_v original_o give_v forth_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o

be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o to_o admit_v of_o this_o nice_a exception_n against_o practise_v of_o a_o ordinance_n because_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o exact_a

meet_v withal_o as_o for_o example_n in_o break_v of_o bread_n say_v one_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v but_o one_o loaf_n because_o christ_n body_n be_v but_o one_o entire_a body_n and_o the_o church_n

humane_a and_o devise_v say_v another_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o have_v break_v the_o bread_n you_o must_v pour_v forth_o the_o wine_n because_o so_o soon_o as_o christ_n body_n be_v break_v his_o
