for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o catholic_n schoolman_n not_o be_v able_a by_o any_o mean_n to_o rid_v themselves_o of_o

and_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o shift_n of_o descant_n be_v very_o easy_a for_o see_v they_o do_v maintain_v that_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o mass_n and_o that_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o singingcake_n be_v change_v into_o his_o very_a body_n and_o the_o wine_n into_o his_o very_a blood_n and_o that_o they_o break_v his_o body_n in_o piece_n and_o offer_v up_o both_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n in_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sacrifice_n and_o not_o a_o remembrance_n only_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o protestant_n do_v say_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n aught_o to_o be_v do_v by_o celebrate_v his_o holy_a supper_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v it_o for_o he_o have_v ordain_v that_o his_o supper_n shall_v be_v celebrate_v
