secretly supposyng that god dothe not beholde them yf thou shuldyste walke in a deserte or in the most darkeste wode where no man could cū to the nor see the yet god wolde see thy workes Take hyde of

what wyll not he graunt vs hereafter what wyll he denye now to hys chylderen vnto elder men and such as be more growne in ther fayth the mystery of the Trynyte must be declared so much as mans weknes may comprehend There is one god whiche made all thinges bothe that are in heauen that are in earth If thou doste trust in god thou mayst be sure the deuill cā not hurte the much lese no mortall creature To beleue in god is to haue a constaunte truste in god and to driue al thine hope in him al other thynges and creatures set a parte and that shall cause vs to loue god truly other els it ys
