do_v it_o now_o what_o reply_v christ_n unto_o their_o doubt_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o only_a bread_n to_o eat_v in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o which_o will_v sure_o have_v satisfy_v they_o

against_o the_o text_n for_o say_v that_o he_o will_v hereafter_o give_v they_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v he_o do_v declare_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o believe_v in_o he_o which_o he_o will_v

once_o in_o plain_a term_n interpret_v they_o for_o the_o save_n of_o so_o many_o soul_n wherefore_o it_o remain_v most_o manifest_a that_o by_o eat_v of_o his_o flesh_n he_o mean_v something_o else_o
