of_o the_o danger_n grow_v thereby_o to_o wit_n for_o fear_v that_o the_o more_o ignotant_n &_o simple_a shall_v adore_v the_o bread_n since_o such_o do_v not_o distinguish_v but_o absolute_o adore_v

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
