the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n which_o succeed_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o omnipotent_a word_n and_o because_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o divinity_n never_o leave_v this_o body_n whole_a jesus_n

that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o species_n be_v there_o uncorrupted_a the_o same_o body_n remain_v under_o they_o with_o its_o quantity_n beauty_n immortality_n and_o glory_n but_o supernatural_o and_o

the_o sacrament_n here_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a to_o note_v wherefore_o our_o saviour_n give_v his_o body_n veil_v under_o the_o show_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n &_o not_o visible_a &_o in_o

after_o the_o manner_n he_o do_v the_o principal_a reason_n note_v by_o the_o father_n be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o since_o that_o every_o
