that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o species_n be_v there_o uncorrupted_a the_o same_o body_n remain_v under_o they_o with_o its_o quantity_n beauty_n immortality_n and_o glory_n but_o supernatural_o and_o

after_o the_o manner_n he_o do_v the_o principal_a reason_n note_v by_o the_o father_n be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o since_o that_o every_o
