because_o the_o word_n of_o those_o testimony_n do_v almost_o ever_o intimate_v some_o effect_n or_o efficacy_n of_o the_o eucharist_n which_o to_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v incompetent_a as_o that_o

but_o proper_o fall_v not_o when_o the_o host_n fall_v second_o we_o answer_v that_o see_v our_o christian_a faith_n teach_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v include_v for_o a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o
