to_o the_o stool_n answer_n if_o you_o respect_v repentance_n &_o good_a work_n i_o wonder_v you_o regard_n christian_n charity_n no_o more_o but_o so_o apparent_o to_o slander_v catechis_n we_o

do_v what_o we_o can_v in_o god_n service_n since_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a and_o our_o work_n unperfect_a it_o be_v not_o any_o way_n safe_a to_o trust_v in_o ourselves_o 3._o or_o rely_v upon_o

the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o our_o ministry_n be_v to_o encounter_v with_o those_o two_o ugly_a monster_n of_o nature_n ignorance_n and_o sensuality_n it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o whole_a

so_o much_o a_o outward_a call_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n which_o make_v a_o visible_a church_n as_o a_o inward_a and_o effectual_a draw_v to_o the_o power_n thereof_o proper_a only_a to_o the_o lively_a member_n who_o make_v a_o mystical_a and_o invisible_a body_n not_o discernible_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n yet_o so_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o this_o number_n

right_n i_o understand_v you_o mean_v a_o visible_a company_n of_o catholic_n that_o be_v professor_n of_o the_o apostolic_a faith_n and_o then_o must_v you_o shake_v hand_n with_o christ_n his_o
