though_o faith_n be_v not_o join_v therewithal_o furthermore_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a kind_n of_o transmutation_n for_o a_o man_n to_o separate_v the_o
worde_n and_o the_o sacrament_n and_o to_o change_v the_o sacrament_n into_o idol_n &_o to_o attribute_v great_a efficacy_n unto_o they_o then_o unto_o the_o worde_n for_o unless_o the_o word_n be_v

which_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v faith_n to_o be_v join_v therewith_o
