A27625	A sermon of the true, spiritual transubstantiation, oppos'd to the gross, carnal, imaginary transubstantiation wherein the true meaning of the Lord's Supper is opened, in order to a constant, habitual and actual preparation to it / by Beverley.	Beverley, Thomas.	1687 (1687)	Wing B2175; ESTC R18401	43,861	64

be_v not_o receive_v it_o than_o do_v not_o work_v good_a where_o that_o preparation_n be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v but_o if_o it_o be_v receive_v it_o have_v its_o certain_a effect_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v it_o do_v hurt_v by_o way_n of_o increase_a gild_n because_o a_o spiritual_a offer_n of_o so_o excellent_a a_o nature_n be_v

though_o the_o holiness_n and_o spirituality_n of_o a_o holy_a create_v finite_a spirit_n may_v by_o instruction_n suggestion_n or_o example_n offer_v much_o good_a to_o other_o spirit_n and_o be_v

that_o they_o can_v be_v prejudge_v nor_o hinder_v by_o any_o distance_n of_o time_n because_o of_o the_o eternity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n 3._o that_o they_o can_v be_v
