by_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v think_v of_o at_o present_a be_v a_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o existence_n whereby_o this_o body_n be_v render_v independent_a of_o place_n and_o may_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o many_o place_n at_o once_o this_o body_n which_o exist_v in_o a_o supernatural_a manner_n must_v either_o r._n be_v every_o where_o and_o in_o all_o place_n which_o manner_n of_o

be_v in_o too_o many_o place_n at_o once_o in_o all_o other_o place_n out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o well_o as_o in_o it_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o priest_n to_o make_v
