up_o unto_o heaven_n where_o he_o be_v and_o unite_n we_o unto_o himself_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n this_o be_v true_o the_o abridgement_n of_o our_o doctrine_n draw_v from_o our_o confession_n of_o

there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o which_o be_v not_o plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v conceive_v except_v only_o the_o ineffable_a &_o incomprehensible_a manner_n in_o which_o this_o holy_a

with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o conjugal_a love_n which_o unite_v husband_n and_o wife_n and_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o

have_v with_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o only_a and_o true_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o those_o who_o receive_v baptism_n without_o the_o word_n and_o without_o the_o eucharist_n or_o baptism_n and_o the_o word_n without_o the_o same_o eucharist_n may_v be_v save_v and_o unite_v perpetual_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o they_o who_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o these_o form_n be_v a_o earnest_n unto_o they_o of_o their_o spiritual_a union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n some_o also_o add_v that_o it_o be_v unto_o they_o a_o blossom_a
