transubstantiation_n to_o be_v a_o true_a doctrine_n and_o i_o doubt_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a our_o while_n to_o go_v thus_o far_o about_o this_o be_v more_o cost_n than_o worship_n certain_o it_o

to_o keep_v it_o be_v unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v as_o have_v be_v show_v a_o symbol_n of_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n so_o that_o to_o keep_v the_o feast_n after_o this_o manner_n be_v in_o

at_o all_o but_o there_o be_v here_o a_o plain_a allusion_n make_v to_o that_o unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v make_v use_n of_o at_o the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o passeover_n and_o other_o

the_o same_o thing_n in_o its_o self_n or_o by_o any_o mean_v change_v into_o it_o with_o that_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o

passeover_n for_o by_o both_o of_o these_o take_v together_o our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o jaw_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n be_v complete_v and_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o

though_o we_o have_v not_o be_v command_v to_o commemorate_v it_o by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n purchase_v it_o for_o we_o yet_o mere_a gratitude_n and_o good_a

objector_n go_v on_o to_o raise_v difficulty_n not_o so_o much_o against_o the_o resemblance_n of_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n as_o against_o the_o sacrament_n its_o self_n which_o bear_v a_o analogy_n with_o the_o paschal_n feast_n he_o demand_v therefore_o how_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o eat_v the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o he_o cut_v off_o piece_n of_o his_o own_o flesh_n and_o give_v they_o to_o eat_v or_o whether_o his_o body_n be_v make_v up_o of_o
