because_o it_o have_v the_o head_n which_o be_v christ_n holy_a and_o also_o for_o that_o it_o have_v many_o holy_a member_n beside_o the_o faith_n law_n and_o sacrament_n be_v all_o holy_a and_o last_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v never_o forsake_v it_o but_o do_v always_o inform_v it_o with_o sanctity_n and_o glorify_v it_o with_o miracle_n and_o it_o be_v call_v catholic_a that_o

it_o to_o be_v save_v 43._o why_o do_v the_o apostle_n set_v down_o in_o the_o creed_n these_o two_o condition_n of_o holiness_n and_o universality_n because_o they_o be_v two_o infallible_a mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n to_o which_o unity_n be_v also_o add_v as_o a_o three_o mark_n see_v that_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o church_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n and_o not_o church_n 44._o what_o signifi_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o signifi_v that_o all_o the_o holy_a member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v so_o unite_v to_o one_o another_o by_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o by_o

that_o love_v one_o a_o other_o conformable_a in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o have_v the_o same_o affection_n and_o the_o same_o will_n he_o then_o who_o love_v god_n true_o will_v all_o that_o which_o

those_o sectary_n who_o teach_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o keep_v god_n holy_a commandment_n first_o they_o contradict_v our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o most_o plain_o say_v that_o his_o yoke_n be_v sweet_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n and_o s._n john_n who_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n commandment_n be_v not_o heavy_a second_o they_o make_v hime_v most_o cruel_a by_o oblige_v we_o under_o the_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o perform_v and_o final_o they_o deny_v a_o most_o manifest_a experience_n even_o in_o many_o
