the_o nine_o consideration_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n man_n principal_o the_o common_a people_n do_v natural_o love_v similitude_n because_o they_o be_v draw_v from_o thing_n

unto_o we_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o his_o body_n but_o also_o have_v show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o quality_n of_o this_o communion_n these_o word_n to_o eat_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n
