will_v be_v save_v it_o be_v necessary_a before_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o hold_v the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o that_o if_o he_o keep_v not_o that_o faith_n whole_a and_o undefiled_a he_o shall_v

believe_v must_v be_v all_o of_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v i_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v go_v before_o of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v such_o as_o by_o it_o they_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o lion_n they_o turn_v the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o cause_v the_o fire_n to_o cease_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o

it_o be_v say_v the_o catholic_a church_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o rock_n and_o mat._n 18._o he_o who_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v as_o a_o heathen_a and_o publican_n this_o faith_n must_v be_v establish_v so_o in_o every_o one_o because_o christ_n say_v he_o will_v send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o he_o will_v show_v we_o or_o they_o what_o to_o do_v this_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n this_o faith_n be_v publish_v at_o rome_n and_o st._n paul_n write_v to_o the_o christian_n there_o rejoice_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v renown_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n go_v you_o therefore_o baptise_v all_o nation_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n i_o confess_v and_o believe_v in_o and_o which_o i_o die_v for_o i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o virtue_n which_o be_v hope_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v have_v such_o reward_n that_o neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o

be_v that_o talk_n much_o of_o charity_n few_o understand_v it_o and_o few_o that_o practise_v it_o this_o be_v the_o great_a virtue_n 1_o cor._n 13._o though_o you_o speak_v with_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o have_v not_o charity_n it_o avail_v nothing_o so_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v love_n and_o charity_n or_o else_o it_o prevail_v nothing_o it_o be_v expect_v i_o shall_v
