moreover_o the_o woman_n do_v not_o only_a sin_n but_o she_o also_o induce_v her_o husband_n to_o sin_n but_o on_o the_o other_o part_n she_o be_v somewhat_o lighten_v because_o she_o be_v the_o

part_n of_o the_o body_n in_o like_a manner_n must_v we_o say_v of_o faith_n and_o of_o repentance_n the_o same_o thing_n do_v we_o see_v in_o the_o sin_n therein_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n

one_o a_o part_n of_o the_o other_o i'faith_o hope_n and_o charity_n be_v three_o virtue_n always_o join_v together_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o one_o of_o these_o virtue_n a_o part_n of_o the_o other_o repentance_n how_o faith_n be_v join_v with_o repentance_n but_o they_o be_v several_a how_o then_o shall_v faith_n be_v join_v with_o repentance_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o beginning_n thereof_o as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o the_o same_o to_o give_v light_n unto_o the_o mind_n of_o he_o that_o be_v penitent_a and_o when_o the_o mind_n have_v embrace_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o christ_n then_o follow_v a_o renew_n so_o as_o we_o lie_v aside_o our_o old_a life_n and_o take_v a_o new_a wherefore_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o
