christ_n take_v the_o bread_n a._n christ_n by_o take_v the_o bread_n from_o the_o table_n show_v that_o he_o will_v separate_v it_o to_o another_o use_n so_o that_o where_o before_o it_o serve_v but_o to_o strengthen_v the_o body_n now_o it_o shall_v serve_v to_o the_o strengthen_n of_o our_o faith_n q._n how_o do_v christ_n bless_v the_o bread_n a._n as_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o seven_o

so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n not_o christ_n walk_v and_o work_v miracle_n but_o christ_n crucify_a 〈◊〉_d and_o tear_v with_o the_o nail_n and_o spear_n that_o bring_v sound_a peace_n and_o comfort_n to_o the_o heart_n q._n what_o be_v we_o bid_v to_o take_v inn_n this_o sacrament_n a._n two_o thing_n bread_n to_o the_o feed_n of_o our_o

we_o by_o this_o a._n that_o he_o which_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n must_v bring_v two_o hand_n with_o he_o a_o hand_n of_o the_o body_n to_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o a_o hand_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v christ_n john_n 1._o 12._o qu._n do_v not_o all_o receive_v christ_n that_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n a._n no_o for_o then_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o whereas_o now_o many_o through_o their_o own_o default_n be_v not_o the_o better_a but_o the_o worse_o after_o god_n just_o revenge_v their_o irreverence_n and_o contempt_n 1._o cor._n 11._o 17._o
