may_v urge_v to_o these_o doctor_n to_o be_v eat_v by_o the_o most_o abject_a creature_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o let_v we_o pass_v by_o in_o silence_n these_o many_o inconvenience_n which_o they_o

that_o make_v jesus_n christ_n communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o will_v be_v strange_a if_o he_o must_v be_v unworthy_o eat_v by_o his_o very_a enemy_n and_o that_o he_o who_o be_v holiness_n
