service_n for_o you_o contradict_v his_o word_n his_o plain_a express_a word_n be_v that_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v convert_v into_o his_o real_a body_n and_o

of_o his_o incarnation_n and_o of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n because_o his_o word_n or_o testimony_n for_o this_o be_v as_o clear_v if_o not_o clear_a then_o for_o any_o of_o the_o other_o two_o

of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o abraham_n return_v from_o the_o battle_n with_o great_a spoil_n among_o which_o there_o be_v bread_n and_o drink_n enough_o for_o the_o

of_o abraham_n and_o his_o people_n the_o scripture_n will_v have_v say_v that_o he_o bring_v this_o bread_n and_o wine_n because_o that_o abraham_n and_o his_o army_n be_v faint_a and_o tire_a have_v
