saviour_n word_n can_v import_v no_o less_o than_o the_o verity_n of_o transubstantiation_n first_o motive_n the_o write_a law_n shadow_v future_a truth_n and_o this_o truth_n be_v christ_n so_o we_o

what_o he_o have_v bless_v or_o consecrate_v the_o question_n be_v what_o this_o be_v none_o of_o the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o he_o give_v bread_n they_o say_v jesus_n take_v bread_n and_o jesus_n
