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 read_v moses_n sprinkle_v with_o blood_n the_o book_n and_o people_n say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o testament_n which_o god_n 20._o have_v enjoin_v unto_o you_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o

my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o 22._o this_o miraculous_a concord_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a covenant_n this_o repetition_n of_o the_o very_a same_o phrase_n be_v a_o evidence_n beyond_o denial_n that_o the_o former_a be_v a_o symbol_n of_o the_o latter_a and_o since_o you_o can_v understand_v the_o latter_a of_o christ_n blood_n spill_v on_o the_o cross_n because_o you_o pretend_v st._n luke_n say_v his_o blood_n be_v then_o shed_v which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o which_o precede_v the_o crucifiction_n it_o follow_v necessary_o to_o be_v

as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n take_v bread_n so_o be_v we_o teach_v that_o he_o bless_v it_o and_o what_o he_o break_v and_o what_o he_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v without_o doubt_n 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

the_o circumstance_n of_o our_o saviour_n urge_v for_o the_o literal_a acceptation_n of_o this_o be_v my_o body_n for_o jesus_n speak_v to_o his_o apostle_n to_o his_o dear_a friend_n prepare_v to_o

deceive_v we_o and_o therefore_o say_v what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a four_o motive_n be_v the_o conformity_n of_o scripture_n for_o if_o christ_n have_v ever_o design_v to_o
