less_o defalk_v christ_n have_v institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o meal_n a_o banquet_n a_o refection_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o amity_n and_o love_n

eat_v together_o without_o drink_v they_o can_v taste_v the_o entire_a signification_n of_o this_o spiritual_a feast_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o entire_a and_o total_a charity_n and_o he_o that_o

inasmuch_o as_o neither_o repentance_n nor_o confession_n nor_o any_o other_o act_n do_v by_o a_o sinner_n can_v bind_v god_n to_o afford_v he_o remission_n to_o who_o only_o it_o belong_v to_o remit_v sin_n and_o this_o remission_n have_v my_o only_a spouse_n your_o lord_n and_o i_o jesus_n christ_n purchase_v and_o merit_v with_o his_o bitter_a passion_n by_o shed_v of_o his_o most_o
