holy_a spirit_n usual_o retain_v this_o manner_n of_o speak_v in_o all_o sacrament_n for_o two_o cause_n principal_o first_o to_o help_v we_o against_o our_o ignorance_n dulness_n and_o the_o blindness_n of_o our_o heart_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n speak_v not_o on_o this_o manner_n we_o will_v but_o only_o fasten_v our_o eye_n and_o our_o heart_n upon_o the_o bare_a sign_n and_o ceremony_n

upon_o the_o thing_n signify_v the_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o use_n of_o this_o phrase_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v for_o that_o the_o very_a truth_n be_v so_o there_o be_v a_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v to_o the_o believer_n for_o as_o he_o do_v bodily_a and_o real_o participate_v of_o the_o sign_n tantum_fw-la sacramenta_fw-la sunt_fw-la signa_fw-la

also_o lest_o any_o think_v of_o this_o as_o of_o some_o new_a invention_n if_o sacrament_n have_v not_o a_o certain_a similitude_n of_o those_o thing_n of_o which_o they_o be_v sacrament_n bonifac._n

or_o obscure_a unto_o the_o apostle_n for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n call_v the_o bread_n his_o body_n because_o it_o be_v a_o lively_a &_o true_a sign_n &_o sacrament_n
