our_o soul_n can_v be_v by_o he_o redeem_v i_o will_v not_o at_o present_a engage_v or_o meddle_v with_o the_o doctrine_n or_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o holy_a

of_o christ_n before_o mention_v but_o with_o ill_a success_n have_v so_o much_o be_v perplex_v in_o answer_v and_o excuse_v the_o impossibility_n and_o the_o unprofitableness_n of_o such_o a_o

the_o body_n or_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o he_o both_o of_o they_o be_v certain_o employ_v in_o those_o word_n of_o eat_v and_o
