to_o the_o three_o be_v leave_v a_o common_a name_n to_o distinguish_v he_o from_o the_o other_o two_o and_o moreover_o you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o three_o divine_a

ghost_n be_v paint_v over_o the_o apostle_n in_o form_n of_o fyerie_a tongue_n m_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ten_o day_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n come_v upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o replenish_v they_o with_o knowledge_n with_o charity_n and_o with_o eloquence_n teach_v they_o to_o speak_v with_o all_o tongue_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o preach_v the_o

which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o his_o church_n therefore_o we_o do_v celebrate_v that_o great_a feast_n call_v penticost_n or_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o nine_o article_n s_o

the_o first_o part_n belong_v unto_o god_n the_o second_o unto_o the_o church_n the_o spouse_n of_o god_n and_o as_o in_o god_n we_o believe_v one_o divinity_n and_o three_o person_n so_o in_o the_o

do_v teach_v us._n neither_o do_v this_o suffice_v but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o obey_v the_o chief_a bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o vicar_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o hold_v he_o for_o chief_a superior_a and_o vicar_n of_o christ_n s_o if_o the_o church_n be_v a_o congregation_n of_o man_n how_o do_v we_o call_v those_o building_n church_n where_o mass_n and_o other_o

therefore_o those_o building_n be_v also_o call_v church_n chief_o when_o they_o be_v dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o we_o in_o this_o article_n do_v not_o speak_v

that_o we_o must_v believe_v matter_n of_o faith_n so_o firm_o m_o the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o faith_n do_v rely_v upon_o infallible_a verity_n for_o so_o much_o as_o all_o that_o faith_n

they_o signify_v whereas_o we_o have_v so_o clear_a signifycation_n that_o every_o one_o may_v understande_v they_o four_o those_o do_v not_o give_v grace_n which_o we_o do_v but_o do_v only_o figurative_o foreshow_v and_o promise_v it_o so_o that_o our_o sacrament_n be_v much_o more_o excellent_a be_v few_o more_o easy_a more_o clear_a and_o more_o effectual_a than_o those_o be_v s_o i_o will_v also_o know_v which_o among_o our_o seven_o sacrament_n be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o m_o they_o be_v all_o great_a &_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v some_o peculiar_a greatness_n the_o great_a of_o all_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n for_o in_o it_o be_v contain_v the_o author_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o all_o goodness_n which_o be_v christ_n our_o lord_n yet_o touch_v the_o necessity_n the_o most_o necessary_a of_o all_o be_v baptism_n &_o penance_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o dignity_n of_o those_o that_o can_v minister_v the_o sacrament_n the_o more_o worthy_a be_v confirmation_n &_o order_n because_o these_o two_o sacrament_n can_v not_o be_v give_v ordinary_o but_o by_o a_o bishop_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o facility_n the_o most_o easy_a be_v extreme_a unction_n because_o by_o it_o sin_n be_v remit_v with_o out_o trouble_v of_o penance_n touch_v the_o signification_n matrimony_n be_v the_o great_a because_o it_o signify_v the_o union_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o church_n of_o baptism_n s_o begin_v if_o you_o please_v to_o declare_v the_o first_o sacrament_n and_o first_o tell_v i_o wherefore_o be_v it_o call_v baptism_n m_o this_o name_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o greek_n word_n and_o it_o signify_v wash_v but_o holy_a church_n use_v this_o greek_a word_n because_o the_o word_n wash_v be_v to_o common_a and_o be_v use_v every_o day_n in_o common_a thing_n and_o therefore_o to_o the_o end_n this_o sacrament_n shall_v have_v a_o proper_a name_n and_o shall_v be_v the_o better_o know_v and_o honour_a it_o be_v call_v baptism_n s_o what_o thing_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n m_o three_o thing_n at_o the_o least_o be_v necessary_a &_o learn_v they_o well_o because_o in_o certain_a case_n of_o necessity_n as_o we_o shall_v say_v hereafter_o every_o one_o may_v baptise_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o every_o one_o know_v how_o to_o do_v it_o first_o be_v require_v true_a and_o natural_a water_n which_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o party_n that_o be_v baptize_v second_o at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o the_o water_n be_v use_v these_o word_n must_v be_v speak_v i_o baptise_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n &_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o person_n that_o baptise_v have_v intention_n to_o baptise_v that_o be_v to_o give_v the_o sacrament_n which_o christ_n have_v institute_v and_o which_o holy_a church_n use_v to_o give_v when_o she_o baptise_v for_o if_o one_o have_v intention_n only_o to_o jest_n or_o to_o wash_v only_o the_o body_n of_o some_o foulness_n he_o shall_v sin_v most_o grievous_o and_o it_o be_v no_o baptism_n and_o so_o the_o poor_a soul_n be_v not_o baptize_v s_o what_o effect_n work_v baptism_n m_o it_o work_v three_o effect_n first_o it_o renew_v a_o man_n perfect_o give_v he_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o which_o be_v before_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o of_o a_o sinner_n become_v just_a and_o it_o do_v not_o only_o wash_v the_o soul_n from_o all_o spot_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o deliver_v it_o also_o from_o all_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o purgatory_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o one_o shall_v die_v immediate_o after_o baptism_n he_o shall_v go_v direct_o into_o heaven_n as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o commit_v sin_n second_o baptism_n leave_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o certain_a spiritual_a mark_n which_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n be_v take_v away_o by_o which_o it_o shall_v for_o ever_o be_v know_v yea_o also_o in_o those_o which_o go_v to_o hell_n that_o they_o receive_v baptism_n and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v of_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n as_o by_o the_o peculiar_a mark_n it_o be_v know_v in_o this_o world_n to_o who_o slave_n or_o cattle_n do_v belong_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o baptism_n can_v not_o be_v take_v often_o than_o once_o for_o it_o be_v never_o lose_v this_o effect_n thereof_o remain_v for_o ever_o print_v in_o the_o soul_n three_o by_o baptism_n a_o man_n enter_v into_o the_o church_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o as_o a_o child_n of_o holy_a church_n and_o make_v profession_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v those_o that_o in_o place_n of_o christ_n govern_v the_o church_n s_o to_o who_o do_v it_o belong_v proper_o to_o give_v baptism_n m_o it_o belong_v to_o a_o priest_n by_o proper_a office_n and_o chief_o to_o those_o who_o have_v charge_n of_o soul_n but_o when_o a_o priest_n can_v not_o be_v have_v it_o belong_v to_o a_o deacon_n and_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o wit_n when_o there_o be_v danger_n that_o the_o party_n shall_v die_v without_o baptism_n it_o belong_v to_o every_o one_o aswell_o priest_n as_o layman_n as_o well_o man_n as_o woman_n but_o always_o order_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o woman_n baptise_v not_o if_o a_o

the_o great_a s_o i_o marvel_v that_o baptism_n be_v give_v to_o little_a child_n scarce_o bear_v who_o do_v not_o know_v what_o they_o take_v m_o the_o necessity_n of_o baptism_n be_v so_o great_a that_o who_o die_v without_o it_o or_o at_o the_o least_o without_o desire_v it_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o because_o little_a infant_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n to_o die_v easy_o and_o can_v not_o at_o that_o age_n have_v any_o such_o desire_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a to_o baptise_v they_o with_o all_o speed_n that_o may_v be_v and_o although_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o take_v the_o church_n supply_v the_o defect_n which_o by_o the_o godfather_n &_o godmother_n answer_v and_o promise_v for_o they_o and_o this_o suffice_v because_o as_o by_o
