shall_v punish_v with_o everlasting_a pain_n how_o do_v he_o for_o a_o testimony_n of_o faith_n require_v those_o thing_n that_o do_v rather_o give_v a_o testimony_n of_o want_n of_o faith_n for_o those_o who_o be_v follicitous_a about_o the_o do_v of_o good_a work_n do_v there_o by_o testify_v that_o faith_n suffice_v not_o for_o if_o faith_n be_v enough_o as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o and_o good_a work_n avail_v nothing_o at_o all_o how_o be_v good_a work_v a_o sign_n of_o faith_n therefore_o the_o study_n of_o good_a work_n be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o that_o special_a faith_n whereof_o they_o speak_v and_o whereunto_o they_o ascribe_v all_o but_o of_o the_o catholic_a faith_n whereby_o we_o believe_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o enough_o but_o that_o work_v be_v further_o require_v

they_o yield_v unto_o those_o religion_n can_v possible_o be_v think_v to_o have_v be_v institute_v by_o christ_n that_o do_v utter_o spoil_v man_n mind_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o do_v open_a a_o most_o wide_a gate_n to_o all_o wickedness_n and_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o impurity_n of_o life_n for_o holy_a writ_n do_v every_o where_n inculcate_v unto_o we_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n neither_o it_o there_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o often_o repeat_v &_o more_o recomend_v unto_o we_o since_o thereof_o especial_o depend_v all_o goodness_n &_o honesty_n of_o life_n but_o the_o religion_n of_o luther_n and_o galuin_n both_o do_v quite_o thrust_v out_o of_o man_n mind_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o yield_v a_o liberty_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n as_o far_o as_o
