word_n of_o our_o saviour_n john_n 6._o 55._o my_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o where_o he_o write_v thus_o the_o follow_a word_n be_v these_o as_o my_o live_a

the_o church_n for_o a_o christian_n ought_v to_o fear_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n his_o church_n since_o such_o as_o be_v separate_v
