that_o it_o be_v do_v unspeakable_o because_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o incomprehensible_a now_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v they_o that_o will_v in_o

know_v that_o in_o this_o fountain_n &_o wellspring_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o the_o bodily_a sense_n may_v touch_v and_o perceive_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v changeable_a and_o

see_v and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v believe_v be_v not_o all_o one_o for_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v see_v they_o feed_v the_o corruptible_a body_n they_o themselves_o be_v corruptible_a but_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v believe_v they_o feed_v our_o immortal_a soul_n which_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o they_o themselves_o be_v also_o immortal_a the_o apostle_n write_v to_o

of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n hence_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o cloud_n both_o do_v show_v forth_o the_o kind_n and_o

father_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n and_o although_o that_o baptism_n do_v show_v forth_o and_o set_v out_o the_o form_n of_o christ_n baptism_n which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v use_v &_o minister_v in_o the_o church_n yet_o no_o wise_a man_n dare_v deny_v unless_o like_o a_o mad_a man_n he_o will_v presume_v to_o gainsay_v the_o apostle_n word_n but_o that_o it_o be_v

spiritual_a drink_n and_o why_o do_v he_o that_o because_o there_o be_v in_o these_o bodily_a substance_n a_o spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o word_n which_o do_v feed_v and_o give_v drink_n rather_o to_o the_o mind_n then_o to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o believer_n and_o though_o that_o meat_n and_o that_o drink_n do_v but_o show_v forth_o the_o mystery_n of_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o
