to_o signify_v which_o christ_n command_v it_o to_o be_v make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o many_o of_o the_o father_n by_o our_o daily_a supersubstantial_a bread_n which_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o

the_o eucharist_n bread_n be_v it_o so_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v often_o do_v the_o same_o and_o we_o also_o do_v the_o same_o why_o then_o may_v we_o not_o be_v believe_v to_o think_v with_o

the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o for_o if_o they_o will_v have_v they_o simple_o understand_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n profit_v nothing_o i_o will_v ask_v they_o why_o they_o then_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n body_n be_v receive_v by_o they_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nay_o why_o christ_n say_v unless_o you_o shall_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o

that_o christ_n flesh_n profit_v the_o receiver_n they_o must_v ever_o be_v fain_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o manner_n how_o our_o lord_n flesh_n be_v receive_v profit_n and_o how_o it_o

will_v affirm_v he_o shall_v be_v eat_v my_o flesh_n so_o take_v as_o you_o in_o yourselves_o imagine_v profit_v not_o i_o will_v give_v myself_o in_o a_o more_o noble_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n than_o you_o believe_v and_o be_v by_o you_o take_v for_o food_n will_v quicken_v your_o soul_n and_o thus_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o take_v and_o not_o mere_o of_o the_o take_n itself_o do_v christ_n

therefore_o say_v you_o it_o will_v not_o profit_v be_v take_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o the_o catholic_n believe_v but_o thou_o must_v first_o o_o sectary_n prove_v that_o we_o think_v as_o the_o

high_a conceit_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n than_o that_o he_o promise_v his_o body_n shall_v be_v eat_v as_o other_o meat_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n taste_v like_o flesh_n and_o be_v take_v consume_v we_o in_o a_o spiritual_a quicken_a sense_n believe_v that_o christ_n be_v indeed_o true_o and_o real_o present_a in_o the_o eucharist_n but_o after_o a_o spiritual_a and_o incomprehensible_a manner_n that_o he_o be_v receive_v by_o we_o whole_a inviolate_a and_o never_o consume_a thus_o will_v there_o be_v a_o mutual_a agreement_n between_o those_o word_n of_o our_o

the_o capharnait_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o now_o if_o you_o deny_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v any_o way_n profitable_a you_o will_v contradict_v those_o word_n unless_o you_o shall_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v life_n in_o you_o but_o if_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o some_o manner_n but_o not_o in_o that_o

neither_o these_o text_n nor_o any_o other_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_n you_o say_v last_o that_o the_o scripture_n often_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v in_o
