even_o so_o in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o outward_a form_n of_o bread_n appear_v to_o man_n sight_n and_o the_o inward_a substance_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n appear_v not_o to_o a_o man_n

of_o nought_o with_o his_o word_n xviii_o can_v also_o change_v thing_n that_o be_v create_v with_o his_o word_n and_o if_o the_o benediction_n of_o man_n can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n as_o appear_v when_o moses_n change_v his_o rod_n into_o a_o serpent_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o consecration_n of_o god_n that_o work_v merueilous_o in_o his_o holy_a sacrament_n if_o

even_o as_o the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o our_o will_n shall_v serve_v to_o execute_v the_o commandment_n of_o godly_a charity_n for_o whatsoever_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v bring_v forth_o
