eternal_a life_n thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n 4._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o and_o great_a of_o those_o resemblance_n between_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n eat_v and_o

you_o all_o for_o this_o cup_n be_v my_o blood_n for_o here_o the_o notion_n of_o transubstantiation_n have_v the_o most_o proper_a place_n and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v most_o proper_o to_o be_v

and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fit_a notion_n of_o these_o divine_a effect_n than_o this_o transubstantiation_n of_o natural_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o incorporation_n thereof_o into_o the_o eater_n for_o even_o as_o what_o be_v eat_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o perishable_n life_n in_o the_o eater_n dwell_v in_o the_o eater_n and_o he_o in_o that_o and_o they_o be_v one_o in_o one_o
