for_o the_o five_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o instruction_n it_o make_v a_o part_n by_o itself_o because_o to_o instruct_v be_v a_o quality_n which_o be_v not_o

which_o be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o god_n his_o actual_a assistant_n grace_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n necessary_a the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o sanctify_a grace_n be_v either_o charity_n itself_o or_o at_o least_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o charity_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o have_v charity_n may_v be_v

that_o the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n be_v twofold_a the_o one_o be_v only_o of_o inferior_a priest_n who_o be_v those_o who_o we_o common_o call_v priest_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n
