substance_n of_o bread_n give_v place_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n which_o succeed_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o omnipotent_a word_n and_o because_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o divinity_n never_o leave_v this_o body_n whole_a jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n his_o body_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o word_n his_o soul_n and_o his_o divinity_n as_o necessary_o follow_v and_o accompany_v the_o same_o second_o we_o learn_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o species_n be_v there_o uncorrupted_a the_o same_o body_n remain_v under_o they_o with_o its_o quantity_n beauty_n immortality_n and_o glory_n but_o supernatural_o and_o in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a manner_n without_o be_v perceive_v unless_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v before_o declare_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o a_o thing_n ineffable_a can_v be_v declare_v by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o father_n often_o advertise_v we_o not_o to_o consult_v here_o with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n nor_o

have_v his_o body_n hide_v and_o not_o visible_a in_o the_o sacrament_n here_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a to_o note_v wherefore_o our_o saviour_n give_v his_o body_n veil_v under_o the_o show_n of_o

inestimable_a gift_n but_o also_o give_v it_o after_o the_o manner_n he_o do_v the_o principal_a reason_n note_v by_o the_o father_n be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o since_o that_o every_o sacrament_n be_v a_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o invisible_a thing_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o give_v his_o body_n in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o
