sundry_a respect_n to_o be_v warn_v before_o when_o we_o shall_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o a_o thing_n which_o we_o covet_v and_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o for_o

remembrance_n the_o collect_v wherein_o the_o priest_n by_o the_o authority_n commit_v unto_o he_o do_v absolve_v the_o sick_a of_o all_o his_o sin_n indeed_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o this_o be_v

the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o forgive_v sin_n the_o power_n indeed_o be_v but_o ministerial_a and_o so_o the_o book_n itself_o declare_v where_o it_o say_v he_o have_v give_v power_n and_o

to_o forgive_v sin_n then_o this_o the_o book_n allow_v none_o how_o the_o pope_n do_v challenge_v this_o power_n to_o himself_o as_o head_n and_o how_o from_o he_o it_o must_v be_v derive_v unto_o

must_v not_o forget_v the_o two_o collect_v say_v over_o our_o dead_a brother_n the_o one_o in_o which_o we_o say_v that_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n have_v take_v away_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o

but_o in_o a_o charitable_a manner_n of_o speech_n to_o judge_v of_o he_o as_o he_o profess_v i_o do_v not_o take_v it_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o book_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v utter_v of_o such_o as_o make_v no_o profession_n of_o the_o holy_a faith_n for_o why_o then_o shall_v he_o be_v call_v a_o brother_n or_o upon_o who_o god_n do_v show_v his_o fearful_a judgement_n if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o it_o may_v be_v a_o fault_n but_o not_o blasphemy_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o brother_n depart_v where_o we_o say_v that_o we_o with_o this_o our_o brother_n and_o all_o other_o depart_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n may_v have_v our_o perfect_a consummation_n and_o bliss_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o

you_o do_v still_o but_o belie_v the_o book_n which_o direct_v herein_o to_o pray_v only_o for_o ourselves_o live_v and_o not_o for_o the_o dead_a for_o if_o the_o mention_n of_o receive_v bliss_n with_o that_o brother_n depart_v be_v to_o pray_v for_o he_o than_o shall_v it_o be_v mean_v that_o we_o will_v also_o pray_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jaakob_n of_o the_o

you_o say_v to_o help_v my_o memory_n a_o little_a further_o you_o will_v i_o to_o consider_v better_o of_o that_o glorious_a anthem_n which_o we_o say_v at_o our_o communion_n that_o we_o with_o
