and_o principal_a point_n i_o be_o persuade_v to_o be_v the_o very_a true_a meaning_n and_o sense_n of_o god_n holy_a word_n that_o be_v that_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v the_o true_a material_a substance_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o bless_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o the_o place_n of_o scripture_n whereupon_o this_o my_o faith_n be_v ground_v be_v these_o both_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o also_o the_o blood_n first_o let_v we_o repete_fw-la the_o begin_v of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n wherein_o all_o the_o three_o evangelist_n and_o s._n paul_n almost_o in_o word_n do_v agree_v say_v that_o jesus_n take_v bread_n give_v thanks_o brake_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o disciple_n sayinge_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n here_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o christ_n call_v very_a bread_n his_o body_n for_o that_o which_o he_o take_v be_v very_o bread_n in_o this_o all_o man_n do_v agree_v and_o that_o which_o he_o take_v after_o he_o have_v give_v thanks_n he_o break_v and_o that_o which_o he_o take_v and_o break_v he_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o which_o be_v take_v break_v and_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n he_o say_v himself_o of_o it_o this_o be_v my_o body_n so_o it_o appear_v plainelye_o that_o christ_n call_v very_a bread_n his_o body_n but_o very_a bread_n can_v be_v his_o body_n in_o very_a substance_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o other_o meaning_n which_o meaning_n appear_v plainelye_o what_o it_o be_v by_o the_o next_o sentence_n that_o follow_v immediate_o both_o in_o luke_n and_o in_o paul_n and_o that_o be_v this_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o whereupon_a it_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n do_v take_v bread_n and_o call_v it_o his_o body_n for_o that_o he_o will_v thereby_o institute_v a_o perpetual_a remembrance_n of_o his_o body_n special_o of_o the_o singular_a benefit_n of_o our_o redemtion_n which_o he_o will_v then_o procure_v and_o purchase_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o bread_n retain_v still_o his_o own_o very_a natural_a substance_n may_v be_v thus_o by_o grace_n and_o in_o a_o sacramental_a signification_n his_o body_n whereas_o else_o the_o very_a bread_n which_o he_o take_v break_v and_o give_v they_o can_v not_o be_v any_o wise_a his_o natural_a body_n for_o that_o be_v confusion_n of_o substance_n and_o therefore_o the_o very_a word_n of_o christ_n join_v with_o the_o next_o sentence_n follow_v both_o enforce_v we_o to_o confess_v the_o very_a bread_n to_o remain_v still_o and_o also_o open_v unto_o we_o how_o that_o bread_n may_v be_v and_o be_v thus_o by_o his_o divine_a power_n his_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o us._n but_o here_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v red_a in_o some_o writer_n of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n which_o christ_n do_v take_v be_v brake_n for_o say_v they_o after_o his_o take_n he_o bless_v it_o as_o mark_n do_v speak_v and_o by_o his_o blessing_n be_v change_v the_o natural_a substance_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o his_o body_n and_o so_o although_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o bless_v it_o yet_o because_o in_o blessing_n he_o change_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o he_o break_v not_o the_o bread_n which_o then_o be_v not_o there_o but_o only_o the_o form_n thereof_o unto_o this_o objection_n i_o have_v two_o plain_a answer_n both_o ground_v upon_o god_n word_n the_o one_o i_o will_v here_o rehearse_v

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
