christ_n again_o be_v contrary_a to_o fay_v and_o good_a work_n for_o they_o glorifye_v the_o meritte_v of_o christ_n passion_n when_o the_o offer_v of_o he_o again_o be_v great_a derogation_n to_o the_o same_o they_o do_v as_o a_o man_n that_o light_v a_o candle_n in_o a_o bright_a sunnye_n daye_n sa_v all_o though_o the_o sun_n give_v a_o light_n clear_a enough_o it_o of_o self_n yet_o it_o

derision_n as_o if_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o sufficient_a with_o out_o your_o light_n so_o although_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n be_v sufficient_a to_o forgyve_v sin_n as_o the_o son_n be_v to_o make_v a_o light_a day_n yet_o the_o popish_a massmonger_n will_v offer_v he_o up_o again_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n though_o there_o be_v none_o such_o be_v like_o a_o candle_n light_v in_o a_o bright_a sunny_a day_n and_o so_o slander_v the_o true_a sacrifice_n to_o be_v unperfect_a but_o as_o we_o see_v by_z the_o brightness_n of_o the_o day_n so_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n merit_n we_o perceyve_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o and_o fay_v be_v profitable_a to_o we_o as_o a_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o through_o faith_n we_o

to_o teach_v correct_v rebuke_n and_o exhort_v the_o people_n we_o answer_v that_o god_n will_v ever_o raise_v up_o some_o in_o the_o congregation_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o christ_n have_v
