to_o be_v note_v be_v this_o 11._o that_o although_o our_o saviour_n christ_n resemble_v his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o meat_n &_o drink_n food_n yet_o he_o far_o pass_v and_o excel_v all_o

of_o theym_n but_o only_o by_o faith_n which_o must_v be_v ground_v upon_o god_n most_o holy_a word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o for_o this_o consideration_n our_o savioure_n christ_n have_v not_o only_o set_v forth_o these_o thing_n most_o plain_o in_o his_o holy_a word_n that_o we_o may_v hear_v they_o with_o our_o ear_n but_o he_o have_v also_o ordain_v one_o visible_a sacrament_n of_o spiritual_a regeneration_n in_o water_n and_o a_o other_o visible_a sacrament_n of_o spiritual_a norishment_n in_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n we_o

of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n in_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o preach_v unto_o we_o that_o as_o
expound_v these_o worden_n they_o vary_v among_o themselves_o which_o be_v a_o token_n that_o they_o be_v uncertain_a of_o their_o own_o doctrine_n for_o some_o of_o they_o say_v that_o by_o this_o

christ_n himself_o spiritual_o eat_v and_o drunken_a and_o nourish_v the_o right_a believer_n the_o bread_n &_o wine_n as_o a_o sacrament_n declare_v the_o same_o and_o the_o priest_n as_o a_o
