the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o whereby_o 10.38_o the_o just_a do_v live_v be_v faith_n 5.5_o for_o we_o through_o the_o spirit_n wait_v

that_o believe_v 1.21_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o do_v not_o feed_v we_o with_o bare_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o if_o we_o have_v the_o life_n of_o

thus_o must_v of_o force_n if_o we_o follow_v their_o jesuit_n direction_n judge_v they_o to_o be_v the_o most_o intolerable_a idolater_n that_o ever_o be_v nay_o according_a to_o their_o own_o

have_v notice_n of_o bellarmine_n dispute_v against_o ambrose_n catharinus_n one_o of_o his_o own_o brethren_n that_o a_o man_n have_v no_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o his_o own_o justification_n can_v

have_v in_o hand_n and_o see_v into_o what_o intricate_a labyrinth_n these_o man_n have_v bring_v themselves_o admit_v the_o priest_n intention_n stand_v right_a at_o the_o time_n of_o consecration_n yet_o if_o he_o that_o baptize_v he_o fail_v in_o his_o intention_n when_o he_o administer_v that_o sacrament_n he_o remain_v still_o unbaptise_v and_o so_o become_v uncapable_a of_o priesthood_n and_o consequent_o whatsoever_o he_o consecrate_v be_v but_o bread_n still_o yea_o admit_v he_o be_v right_o baptize_v too_o if_o either_o the_o bishop_n that_o confer_v upon_o he_o the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n for_o so_o they_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v or_o those_o that_o baptize_v or_o ordain_v that_o bishop_n miss_v their_o right_a intention_n neither_o will_v the_o one_o prove_v bishop_n nor_o the_o other_o priest_n and_o so_o with_o what_o intention_n soever_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o do_v consecrate_v there_o remain_v but_o bread_n still_o neither_o do_v the_o
