the_o body_n &_o therefore_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n be_v never_o in_o the_o grave_n in_o those_o three_o day_n the_o which_o he_o continue_v dead_a wherefore_o by_o this_o word_n inferno_fw-la

moreover_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o because_o albeit_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o rise_v again_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n be_v our_o advocate_n and_o pray_v for_o we_o yet_o we_o can_v not_o be_v save_v if_o god_n with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n do_v not_o open_v our_o heart_n make_v we_o to_o understand_v and_o be_v partaker_n of_o these_o so_o great_a benefit_n through_o

be_v therefore_o needful_a that_o thou_o feel_v lyvely_a in_o thou_o this_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o renu_v thou_o lighten_v move_v inspire_v imprint_v and_o make_v thou_o feel_v god_n in_o

which_o beléeve_v that_o christ_n die_v and_o that_o not_o vain_o beléeve_v also_o that_o there_o be_v fruit_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o death_n which_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a wherefore_o we_o must_v also_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a catholic_a church_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o elect_a of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o

it_o be_v needful_a that_o thou_o do_v lively_o believe_v and_o feel_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o portion_n and_o member_n of_o the_o same_o and_o that_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o the_o elect._n thou_o

of_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n 1._o ephes_n 1._o therefore_o more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n rejoice_v thyself_o in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o be_v

be_v proper_a to_o one_o man_n alone_o but_o for_o the_o commodity_n of_o they_o all_o therefore_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o to_o possess_v or_o use_v any_o thing_n for_o thy_o own_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o must_v with_o mary_n conceive_v christ_n not_o with_o humane_a reason_n but_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n then_z the_o divine_a &_o supernatural_a faith_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o our_o own_o strength_n nor_o on_o our_o own_o will_n neither_o on_o our_o own_o study_n good_a wit_n wisdom_n knowledge_n or_o humane_a prudence_n and_o this_o because_o there_o be_v no_o

yea_o for_o that_o be_v evil_a plant_n they_o can_v bring_v forth_o none_o other_o but_o evil_a fruit_n sin_n than_o be_v all_o their_o fruit_n wherefore_o they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a meritorious_a of_o so_o rich_a a_o gift_n &_o present_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o faith_n be_v yea_o the_o work_n of_o saint_n when_o they_o have_v not_o be_v or_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o this_o present_a

be_v sound_a that_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o great_a punishment_n for_o that_o they_o have_v sin_v at_o least_o in_o leave_v thing_n undo_v inasmuch_o as_o in_o all_o their_o action_n &_o deed_n in_o

2._o ephes_n 2._o as_o paul_n declare_v i'faith_o they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o because_o no_o man_n shall_v glory_v of_o himself_o be_v give_v through_o christ_n and_o be_v by_o no_o

without_o it_o not_o only_o we_o can_v not_o please_v god_n but_o we_o be_v most_o damnable_a it_o shall_v also_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o wicked_a to_o know_v that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a thereoff_n for_o that_o they_o appear_v to_o have_v it_o as_o it_o chance_v with_o the_o hypocrite_n superstitious_a people_n and_o false_a christian_n do_v not_o seek_v nor_o desire_v it_o yea_o
