in_o regard_n of_o the_o son_n be_v incarnate_a and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o indeed_o bring_v in_o many_o point_n to_o be_v believe_v whereof_o consider_v only_o as_o the_o

church_n of_o great_a extent_n differ_v thus_o from_o we_o that_o where_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o church_n believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n a_o nice_a difference_n in_o so_o incomprehensible_a a_o mystery_n that_o there_o seem_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o lay_v such_o

belief_n will_v never_o be_v sanctify_v see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o be_v the_o sanctifier_n and_o sanctify_v none_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o and_o the_o belief_n not_o be_v sanctify_v will_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o father_n himself_o notwithstanding_o our_o belief_n in_o he_o and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offer_n of_o cain_n be_v not_o accept_v because_o though_o a_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o want_v a_o devotion_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o they_o that_o commit_v this_o sin_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o pray_v a_o grievous_a sin_n no_o doubt_n which_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o charity_n who_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o

that_o it_o leave_v scruple_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o not-beleeving_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o principal_a ingredient_n in_o it_o or_o rather_o where_o a_o true_a believe_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o sin_n proper_o can_v never_o be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o in_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o the_o article_n in_o the_o whole_a creed_n that_o seem_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v say_v then_o this_o for_o by_o say_v this_o article_n we_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n in_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o not_o be_v likely_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o why_o be_v it_o that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o a_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v it_o not_o that_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n can_v sanctify_v that_o sin_n

of_o remission_n o_o therefore_o thou_o bless_a god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v i_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n that_o what_o other_o sin_n soever_o i_o may_v happy_o

our_o belief_n in_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v and_o say_v o_o holy_a bless_a and_o glorious_a trinity_n three_o person_n

and_o the_o first_o article_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v this_o church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v it_o in_o deed_n but_o

the_o sun_n leave_v his_o light_n and_o be_v cover_v with_o darkness_n so_o now_o that_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o sun_n rise_v from_o the_o dark_a and_o make_v the_o day_n spring_n

from_o the_o dead_a suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o jew_n be_v he_o afraid_a they_o will_v crucify_v he_o again_o as_o they_o have_v do_v before_o but_o there_o need_v be_v no_o such_o

and_o but_o nine_o time_n to_o his_o disciple_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o mystery_n whereof_o without_o divine_a revelation_n we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o understand_v the_o reason_n but_o though_o christ_n body_n may_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a yet_o how_o can_v it_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n see_v a_o great_a stone_n be_v roll_v against_o it_o to_o keep_v he_o in_o be_v it_o that_o the_o angel_n come_v from_o heaven_n of_o purpole_n to_o let_v he_o out_o in_o this_o indeed_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n be_v much_o divide_v some_o of_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o

hold_v that_o the_o angel_n roll_v away_o the_o stone_n indeed_o but_o not_o to_o any_o such_o purpose_n as_o among_o other_o of_o the_o ancient_n saint_n hierome_n and_o of_o the_o latter_a bishop_n andrew_n who_o in_o his_o seventeen_o print_v sermon_n say_v thus_o the_o angel_n indeed_o roll_v away_o the_o stone_n but_o christ_n be_v rise_v first_o and_o the_o stone_n roll_v away_o after_o

be_v shut_v for_o indeed_o who_o know_v or_o be_v able_a to_o define_v what_o the_o ability_n and_o privilege_n of_o a_o glorify_a body_n be_v but_o how_o be_v we_o sure_a that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o appear_v and_o not_o rather_o a_o phantasm_n or_o ghost_n see_v a_o phantasm_n seem_v also_o to_o be_v a_o body_n as_o the_o samuel_n which_o the_o witch_n of_o

not_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a till_o he_o have_v first_o descend_v into_o hell_n so_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o descend_v into_o the_o hell_n and_o
