more_o and_o more_o with_o the_o church_n even_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n exhort_v we_o by_o this_o argument_n that_o we_o be_v all_o one_o body_n and_o one_o bread_n because_o we_o be_v all_o

before_o show_v my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lod_n supper_n can_v be_v well_o understand_v and_o declare_v without_o some_o trope_n first_o for_o the_o cup_n it_o be_v manifest_a as_o well_o by_o the_o evangelist_n as_o by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n then_o for_o the_o bread_n it_o be_v also_o manifest_a because_o where_o as_o christ_n say_v this_o that_o be_v the_o bread_n which_o i_o have_v break_v be_v my_o body_n the_o apostle_n expound_v it_o say_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n three_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o saint_n austen_n in_o his_o three_o book_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n cap._n 16._o because_o when_o we_o be_v command_v to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n it_o you_o take_v the_o word_n of_o eat_v proper_o it_o seem_v we_o be_v command_v to_o do_v a_o heinous_a deed_n therefore_o the_o speech_n of_o christ_n concern_v the_o eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v figurative_o moreover_o because_o if_o you_o shall_v understand_v the_o word_n without_o a_o trope_n tt_z will_v follow_v that_o the_o bread_n of_o christ_n be_v indeed_o deliver_v up_o for_o we_o and_o the_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n last_o because_o luther_n himself_o upon_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o esay_n say_v that_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o supper_n there_o be_v a_o synecdoche_n with_o who_o in_o this_o point_n bucer_n do_v always_o agree_v therefore_o albeit_o each_o word_n in_o that_o speech_n this_o be_v my_o

in_o the_o whole_a speech_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o trope_n see_v that_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v give_v for_o we_o and_o be_v not_o crucify_v can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o
