body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o father_n raise_v again_o unto_o life_n for_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o our_o heart_n 10._o and_o

have_v through_o his_o godly_a power_n erect_v up_o again_o from_o death_n the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n therefore_o through_o the_o doubt_n of_o thomas_n we_o learn_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o own_o body_n for_o christ_n have_v sufficient_o prove_v and_o thomas_n have_v confess_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n be_v very_o rise_v again_o from_o death_n wherein_o our_o faith_n be_v confirm_v to_o believe_v that_o our_o body_n also_o shall_v true_o and_o lively_o rise_v again_o to_o eternal_a life_n when_o thomas_n be_v with_o the_o other_o disciple_n christ_n show_v himself_o unto_o he_o for_o they_o that_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o undivided_a love_n do_v not_o associate_v and_o accompany_v

the_o confession_n that_o be_v make_v with_o the_o mouth_n belong_v unto_o health_n &_o serve_v unto_o love_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o congregation_n of_o god_n without_o the_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o hope_n of_o health_n he_o that_o say_v he_o believe_v and_o do_v not_o join_v himself_o unto_o other_o christian_n his_o faith_n be_v vain_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o therefore_o do_v christ_n for_o his_o church_n institute_v the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v to_o say_v exterior_a sign_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o his_o people_n may_v be_v associate_n together_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v it_o that_o preserve_v we_o poor_a one_o as_o do_v the_o ark_n of_o noah_n afore_o time_n in_o the_o flood_n and_o bring_v we_o through_o

that_o it_o may_v appear_v how_o effectuous_a faith_n be_v and_o what_o it_o woork_v through_o charitable_a love_n in_o the_o church_n christ_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o word_n which_o thomas_n

when_o we_o look_v upon_o his_o hand_n touch_v his_o side_n inward_o with_o our_o desire_n of_o inward_a faith_n and_o consider_v why_o and_o with_o what_o love_n christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o it_o
