that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v unto_o himself_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o for_o ever_o a_o humane_a body_n with_o all_o his_o propriety_n without_o which_o no_o body_n can_v be_v a_o

white_a paper_n which_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v all_o that_o a_o man_n will_v write_v in_o it_o the_o other_o of_o these_o false_a doctrine_n be_v of_o they_o which_o compare_v our_o nature_n unto_o a_o lame_a man_n that_o have_v no_o need_n but_o of_o one_o to_o stay_v he_o up_o to_o go_v upright_o and_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o those_o sophist_n which_o confess_v indeed_o that_o we_o

which_o we_o draw_v from_o our_o first_o father_n but_o they_o will_v have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o serve_v we_o but_o for_o a_o pair_n of_o crutch_n hereby_o afterward_o to_o establish_v

to_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n to_o retire_v a_o man_n self_n into_o a_o desert_n for_o contemplation_n sake_n unprofitable_a both_o to_o one_o self_n and_o to_o other_o but_o according_a as_o the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n which_o rule_v the_o second_o teach_v we_o when_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n which_o can_v be_v do_v if_o the_o thing_n

of_o the_o creator_n without_o seek_v after_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o it_o but_o the_o use_n with_o give_v of_o god_n thanks_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o solomon_n himself_o have_v teach_v
