i_o may_v adjoine_v a_o three_o cause_n in_o that_o the_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o the_o father_n do_v often_o call_v thing_n as_o they_o external_o appear_v to_o the_o eye_n so_o the_o

because_o the_o word_n of_o those_o testimony_n do_v almost_o ever_o intimate_v some_o effect_n or_o efficacy_n of_o the_o eucharist_n which_o to_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v incompetent_a as_o that_o
