be_v impute_v unto_o we_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n how_o we_o receive_v it_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o be_v make_v we_o so_o that_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o do_v live_v all_o the_o good_a gift_n of_o god_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v almost_o every_o where_o and_o chief_o our_o lord_n himself_o say_v

very_o well_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o say_v only_o for_o christ_n himself_o in_o the_o third_o of_o john_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v even_o after_o the_o

nothing_o that_o can_v save_v we_o but_o faith_n only_o wherefore_o chryst_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n say_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o

any_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v more_o testimony_n by_o the_o which_o our_o justification_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n only_o be_v prove_v then_o let_v he_o read_v the_o third_o and_o four_o chapter_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o also_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n write_v thus_o now_o live_v i_o no_o long_o but_o

justify_v of_o all_o we_o must_v show_v why_o not_o only_o we_o do_v not_o attribute_v justification_n to_o work_v but_o also_o wherefore_o we_o suffer_v not_o part_n thereof_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o work_n and_o part_n to_o faith_n but_o say_v plain_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n first_o for_o that_o god_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n have_v we_o to_o

before_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n corporal_o it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o same_o can_v not_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o the_o mass_n by_o the_o priest_n but_o yet_o the_o romish_a church_n teach_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v corporal_o and_o substantial_o present_a and_o in_o the_o office_n of_o their_o mass_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o priest_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v but_o the_o form_n of_o the_o mass_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v increase_v by_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o time_n with_o diverse_a addition_n right_n &_o

wherefore_o without_o all_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n peter_n james_n and_o mathewe_n do_v never_o celebrate_v the_o mass_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a thereof_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v by_o good_a right_n put_v away_o and_o abolish_v the_o romish_a mass_n and_o in_o the_o stead_n thereof_o have_v right_o and_o godly_a

of_o this_o question_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n itself_o because_o it_o have_v no_o testimony_n in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o

furthermore_o we_o teach_v that_o if_o we_o can_v do_v anything_o for_o their_o sake_n acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o profitable_a to_o they_o that_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o their_o wife_n
