be_v unfaythfull_a in_o their_o charge_n and_o office_n the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v and_o also_o we_o see_v what_o s._n paul_n and_o s._n peter_n b._n d._n witness_v according_a to_o jesus_n chryste_n word_n and_o s._n augustine_n plain_o declare_v and_o say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v many_o thing_n the_o which_o be_v not_o all_o write_v for_o the_o evangelist_n

write_v and_o which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o belover_n the_o three_o point_n be_v that_o that_o which_o they_o have_v write_v be_v so_o plain_o write_v that_o the_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o serve_v god_n holy_o &_o to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o his_o law_n command_v and_o to_o endure_v and_o suffer_v all_o manner_n of_o pain_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n then_o to_o serve_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o covetousness_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o may_v gather_v all_o sumary_o together_o how_o only_o in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o find_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n likewise_o only_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o ap_o jesus_n christ_n to_o ourselves_o by_o faith_n but_o because_o this_o faith_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v very_o small_a in_o we_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o be_v increase_v in_o we_o daily_o wherefore_o now_o we_o must_v declare_v by_o what_o entertainment_n or_o mean_v it_o be_v noorysh_v for_o to_o increase_v more_o and_o more_o in_o us._n first_o as_o it_o be_v create_v in_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n ▪_o which_o be_v sow_v in_o our_o

in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o also_o when_o we_o read_v it_o in_o our_o house_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o diligent_o &_o meditate_v in_o it_o day_n and_o night_n forsake_v all_o humane_a and_o worldly_a affection_n which_o may_v turn_v we_o from_o god_n and_o hold_v we_o in_o worldlynesse_n therefore_o david_n say_v he_o be_v happy_a who_o not_o the_o rich_a not_o king_n or_o prince_n or_o

in_o this_o world_n wander_v and_o march_v towards_o the_o celestial_a country_n second_o we_o must_v know_v that_o god_n aid_v and_o help_v our_o debylyte_n and_o weakness_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o not_o be_v content_a to_o declare_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n with_o what_o love_n he_o love_v we_o in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n but_o will_v also_o join_v to_o his_o word_n certain_a

his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o which_o we_o have_v before_o speak_v to_o the_o end_n that_o our_o faith_n be_v aid_v &_o support_v by_o these_o help_n shall_v be_v more_o and_o more_o confirm_v in_o we_o to_o draw_v we_o near_o to_o jesus_n christ_n now_o these_o mark_n be_v call_v in_o greek_a mystery_n that_o be_v to_o say_v secreete_n because_o that_o god_n do_v signify_v and_o represent_v to_o we_o by_o they_o thing_n which_o be_v very_o secreete_a in_o deed_n because_o man_n shall_v never_o doubt_v in_o they_o that_o be_v to_o

of_o the_o which_o we_o shall_v speak_v hereafter_o now_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o two_o sacrament_n that_o be_v to_o say_v baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n because_o that_o after_o the_o abolishinge_v of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o the_o son_n of_o rightousnes_n be_v spring_v up_o god_n will_v not_o again_o wrap_v we_o in_o a_o

lest_o that_o man_n which_o of_o
