sacrament_n may_v work_v that_o in_o we_o which_o they_o do_v contain_v that_o look_v what_o we_o now_o administer_v and_o receive_v in_o form_n we_o may_v also_o receive_v it_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o say_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v celebrate_v and_o do_v in_o show_n &_o form_n and_o not_o in_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o similitude_n or_o likeness_n and_o not_o in_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o now_o the_o form_n and_o show_v of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o verity_n or_o truth_n of_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n differ_v one_o of_o they_o from_o another_o wherefore_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v celebrate_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o church_n differ_v from_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v know_v to_o be_v now_o glorify_v in_o christ_n body_n through_o his_o resurrection_n and_o the_o former_a of_o these_o two_o body_n be_v a_o pledge_n and_o figure_n and_o this_o latter_a be_v the_o very_a truth_n itself_o for_o the_o former_a be_v celebrate_v and_o administer_v till_o such_o time_n as_o we_o may_v come_v to_o the_o other_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v once_o come_v to_o this_o latter_a the_o former_a shall_v be_v remove_v and_o take_v away_o wherefore_o it_o apprear_v that_o they_o be_v by_o a_o very_a great_a difference_n sunder_v one_o of_o they_o from_o the_o other_o yea_o look_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o pledge_n and_o thing_n for_o which_o the_o pledge_n be_v give_v and_o between_o a_o image_n or_o the_o thing_n who_o image_n it_o be_v or_o between_o the_o form_n and_o show_v of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o truth_n itself_o so_o much_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o that_o mystery_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o faithful_a do_v now_o receive_v in_o the_o church_n do_v much_o differ_v &_o be_v far_o sever_v from_o that_o body_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n which_o

receive_v while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o this_o life_n must_v be_v spiritual_o receive_v and_o understand_v for_o faith_n believe_v the_o thing_n which_o it_o see_v not_o &_o lay_v hold_v of_o that_o which_o do_v spiritual_o feed_v the_o soul_n and_o make_v glad_a the_o heart_n and_o give_v eternal_a life_n and_o incorruption_n while_o we_o look_v not_o upon_o that_o which_o feed_v
