reason_v for_o faith_n and_o love_n in_o his_o holy_a and_o most_o excellent_a sacrament_n surmount_v &_o work_v high_a in_o secret_a manner_n above_o all_o reason_n o_o the_o eternal_a god_n and_o

for_o that_o the_o parent_n themselves_o be_v not_o only_o not_o give_v to_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o his_o church_n who_o be_v the_o

just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o man_n many_o time_n be_v annoy_v or_o punish_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o themselves_o offend_v why_o be_v there_o so_o few_o parent_n that_o tender_v the_o

much_o a_o stranger_n they_o omit_v even_o to_o their_o own_o child_n at_o home_n an_o other_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o they_o who_o have_v so_o much_o delight_v in_o fleshly_a and_o earthly_a

presumption_n and_o blindness_n of_o mind_n wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n as_o when_o some_o presume_v over_o much_o that_o because_o god_n have_v create_v we_o to_o salvation_n therefore_o we_o can_v not_o be_v damn_v and_o because_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o with_o his_o precious_a blood_n therefore_o we_o can_v not_o but_o be_v save_v likewise_o some_o do_v presume_v of_o their_o good_a work_n and_o other_o of_o only_a faith_n an_o other_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o due_o regard_v the_o wholesome_a precept_n &_o counsel_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o

delight_v in_o base_a and_o vile_a thing_n refuse_v that_o which_o be_v excellent_a and_o eternal_a why_o be_v there_o so_o few_o convert_v to_o godly_a life_n by_o true_a penance_n or_o repentance_n the_o greatness_n and_o overmuch_o heap_v of_o their_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o do_v not_o feel_v the_o weight_n and_o gréevousnesse_n of_o they_o no_o more_o than_o he_o that_o be_v

not_o be_v express_v or_o remove_v by_o threaten_n preach_v nor_o good_a counsel_n why_o do_v there_o follow_v so_o little_a fruit_n of_o preach_v because_o of_o some_o imperfection_n in_o preacher_n some_o preach_n for_o vainglory_n to_o show_v their_o eloquence_n &_o get_v praise_n of_o man_n some_o to_o spread_v their_o singular_a conceit_n and_o opinion_n and_o few_o that_o preach_v simple_o

few_o count_v good_a and_o virtuous_a man_n among_o they_o that_o be_v learned_a first_o because_o of_o a_o corrupt_a and_o false_a intent_n which_o they_o have_v in_o their_o study_n which_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n of_o virtue_n but_o for_o live_v and_o worldly_a worship_n sake_n also_o because_o of_o pride_n and_o swell_a of_o mind_n or_o otherwise_o because_o of_o a_o naughty_a

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o because_o some_o attend_v more_o to_o the_o care_n and_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n and_o follow_v the_o appetite_n of_o the_o flesh_n then_o to_o the_o charge_n

because_o of_o take_v overmuch_a pleasure_n in_o voluptuousness_n and_o other_o vice_n &_o wanton_a vanity_n wherein_o their_o great_a riches_n be_v most_o bestow_v which_o many_o time_n they_o may_v

why_o be_v there_o so_o few_o good_a man_n of_o merchant_n because_o in_o their_o trade_n and_o traffic_v they_o fear_v not_o to_o offend_v god_n by_o lie_v deceitfulnes_n and_o break_v the_o
