not_o say_v to_o be_v spiritual_a nor_o divine_a he_o do_v manifest_o signify_v that_o they_o differ_v as_o much_o one_o from_o another_o as_o do_v spiritual_a thing_n and_o corporal_a visible_a and_o invisible_a divine_a and_o humane_a and_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o differ_v from_o themselves_o be_v not_o all_o one_o but_o the_o spiritual_a flesh_n which_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o spiritual_a blood_n which_o be_v daily_o give_v to_o the_o faithful_a to_o drink_v do_v differ_v from_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v crucify_v and_o from_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v with_o the_o soldier_n spear_n as_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o man_n do_v witness_v therefore_o they_o be_v not_o all_o one_o for_o that_o flesh_n which_o be_v crucify_v be_v

in_o this_o manner_n by_o authority_n of_o this_o doctor_n entreat_v of_o the_o lord_n word_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n &_o blood_n we_o be_v manifest_o teach_v that_o those_o word_n

of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n for_o he_o speak_v it_o upon_o that_o occasion_n whereat_o his_o disciple_n be_v offend_v therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v offend_v the_o heavenly_a master_n call_v they_o back_o from_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o a_o corporal_a sight_n to_o invisible_a understanding_n we_o see_v therefore_o the_o food_n of_o the_o lord_n body_n and_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n his_o very_a body_n and_o his_o very_a blood_n namely_o in_o that_o they_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n he_o add_v again_o after_o the_o matter_n prove_v therefore_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v now_o
