upon_o which_o we_o ground_n our_o faith_n and_o salvation_n and_o from_o which_o as_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n we_o date_n all_o our_o action_n and_o all_o our_o concern_v the_o prophet_n preach_v for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o few_o of_o they_o be_v martyr_n and_o they_o that_o be_v suffer_v in_o a_o less_o noble_a cause_n and_o of_o less_o concern_v to_o the_o world_n 2._o when_o they_o say_v the_o great_a michael_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n be_v crowd_v into_o one_o day_n who_o still_o continue_v to_o be_v instrumental_a to_o our_o salvation_n and_o almost_o every_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n have_v his_o distinct_a day_n of_o commemoration_n although_o their_o ministry_n be_v soon_o over_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o fair_a distribution_n it_o

of_o our_o lord_n incarnation_n resurrection_n ascension_n etc._n etc._n that_o they_o do_v not_o can_v not_o suffer_v martyrdom_n as_o all_o the_o saint_n do_v who_o day_n be_v keep_v and_o it_o be_v their_o martyrdom_n that_o crown_v both_o they_o and_o the_o day_n that_o bear_v their_o name_n whereon_o our_o lord_n enable_v they_o to_o meet_v death_n in_o the_o face_n though_o arm_v with_o
