because_o it_o be_v the_o very_a flesh_n of_o a_o very_a man_n be_v also_o a_o very_a body_n in_o the_o kind_n and_o form_n of_o a_o very_a body_n furthermore_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v figure_v by_o that_o bread_n not_o only_a christ_n own_a body_n but_o also_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n that_o believe_v in_o he_o whereupon_o it_o be_v make_v of_o many_o grain_n of_o

bread_n which_o be_v christ_n body_n be_v receive_v in_o a_o mystery_n so_o also_o the_o member_n of_o the_o people_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v declare_v in_o a_o mystery_n and_o as_o that_o bread_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o believer_n not_o bodily_a but_o spiritual_o so_o must_v we_o needs_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v christ_n body_n not_o bodily_a but_o spiritual_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o wine_n which_o be_v call_v christ_n blood_n water_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v mix_v and_o the_o one_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o be_v offer_v without_o the_o other_o to_o
