no_o they_o do_v not_o but_o into_o that_o body_n in_o which_o he_o now_o sit_v at_o the_o right-hand_a of_o god_n in_o heaven_n q._n how_o then_o do_v their_o belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n contradict_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o eucharist_n a._n because_o by_o suppose_v christ_n glorify_a body_n to_o be_v that_o which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o sacrament_n they_o utter_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o it_o 26._o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o exhibit_v and_o

our_o sin_n now_o this_o he_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v have_v be_v in_o his_o present_n glorify_a estate_n so_o that_o if_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o this_o sacrament_n it_o
