and_o before_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o sorrow_n and_o pain_n of_o hell_n so_o that_o from_o henceforth_o neither_o hell_n nor_o the_o devil_n shall_v hinder_v or_o hurt_v we_o in_o our_o

and_o second_o that_o we_o also_o now_o by_o his_o power_n shall_v be_v resuscitate_v &_o quicken_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o three_o that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o most_o

here_o upon_o earth_n three_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o son_n be_v a_o true_a only_o and_o eternal_a god_n &_o second_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o to_o make_v we_o partaker_n through_o a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n of_o all_o his_o good_a gift_n and_o benefit_n and_o further_o that_o he_o be_v our_o

we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o not_o only_o our_o soul_n when_o they_o

upon_o earth_n and_o nevertheless_o he_o be_v as_o the_o almighty_a son_n of_o god_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n with_o his_o grace_n and_o holy_a spirit_n with_o he_o and_o chief_o in_o his_o holy_a supper_n where_o he_o be_v both_o our_o host_n and_o food_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v distribute_v the_o precious_a sacrament_n seal_n and_o token_n that_o be_v the_o bless_a
