bring_v forth_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o figure_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v signify_v that_o christ_n shall_v appoint_v and_o institute_v bread_n and_o wine_n to_o be_v the_o token_n and_o sign_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n do_v fulfil_v the_o same_o so_o say_v s._n hierom_n 26._o hierom_n hieron_n in_o mat._n 26._o christ_n take_v bread_n &_o go_v
