not_o the_o efficacy_n but_o the_o very_a act_n of_o christ_n conquest_n to_o the_o only_a time_n of_o his_o suffering_n moreover_o although_o it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o lamb_n

therefore_o you_o understand_v the_o aforesaid_a place_n of_o a_o actual_a sacrifice_v of_o christ_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n then_o sure_o your_o speech_n be_v not_o

28._o that_o howsoever_o christ_n be_v but_o once_o actual_o sacrifice_v yet_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o say_a sacrifice_n do_v and_o do_v effectual_o extend_v itself_o to_o the_o
