it_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o the_o word_n be_v spiritual_a and_o spiritual_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v indeed_o name_v flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o that_o this_o aught_o to_o

to_o be_v account_v a_o spiritual_a sense_n because_o they_o say_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v there_o invisible_o present_a for_o if_o they_o mean_v his_o proper_a flesh_n we_o do_v not_o therefore_o not_o eat_v it_o carnal_o because_o we_o do_v not_o see_v it_o now_o in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o ancient_a father_n observe_v two_o thing_n for_o each_o of_o which_o it_o may_v deserve_o
