by_o which_o we_o believe_v the_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v unto_o we_o and_o this_o make_v we_o to_o remark_n a_o distinction_n which_o we_o must_v observe_v as_o well_o in_o this_o

which_o be_v give_v we_o by_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v and_o believe_v the_o truth_n the_o action_n or_o act_n be_v the_o actual_a credit_n or_o belief_n which_o we_o give_v to_o the_o truth_n reveal_v when_o we_o say_v i_o believe_v this_o truth_n the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v necessary_a for_o communion_n whosoever_o be_v not_o endow_v with_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n be_v a_o unworthy_a communicant_a and_o he_o that_o approach_v to_o the_o communion_n without_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n shall_v not_o receive_v the_o fruit_n thereof_o the_o great_a difficulty_n we_o find_v in_o this_o place_n be_v not_o in_o have_v the_o virtue_n of_o faith_n for_o all_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v have_v receive_v this_o in_o baptism_n and_o they_o conserve_v it_o still_o except_o they_o have_v lose_v it_o either_o by_o misbelief_n or_o any_o wilful_a doubt_n in_o which_o case_n it_o must_v be_v repair_v by_o believe_v and_o do_v penance_n but_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n they_o require_v a_o application_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o practise_v they_o as_o we_o ought_v that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o necessary_a knowledge_n and_o the_o constancy_n which_o be_v fit_a whereof_o we_o be_v about_o to_o treat_v article_n ii_o that_o to_o communicate_v well_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o have_v faith_n but_o we_o must_v practise_v the_o act_n thereof_o and_o how_o profitable_a they_o be_v in_o communion_n whosoever_o then_o be_v without_o faith_n be_v a_o unworthy_a communicant_a since_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v heb._n 11.6_o and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o please_v god_n can_v be_v worthy_a to_o receive_v it_o be_v also_o necessary_a to_o have_v faith_n not_o only_o of_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o religion_n but_o we_o must_v have_v it_o in_o particular_a of_o this_o here_o and_o it_o be_v require_v that_o we_o have_v make_v act_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v never_o revoke_v nor_o change_v but_o i_o say_v moreover_o that_o to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o communion_n we_o must_v practise_v the_o act_n of_o this_o faith_n before_o at_o the_o time_n and_o after_o communion_n and_o that_o the_o chief_a fruit_n of_o this_o grand_a and_o important_a action_n depend_v upon_o the_o punctual_a performance_n of_o the_o act_n of_o these_o three_o virtue_n of_o faith_n of_o hope_n and_o of_o charity_n the_o reason_n be_v very_o obvious_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o sacrament_n work_v their_o effect_n proportionable_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o receiver_n and_o that_o they_o give_v a_o far_o great_a plenty_n of_o grace_n to_o those_o who_o be_v interior_o better_o

those_o of_o faith_n hope_n &_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o first_o in_o dignity_n and_o contain_v all_o the_o rest_n that_o which_o st._n cyprian_a epist_n ad_fw-la don._n affirm_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v verify_v in_o all_o the_o other_o but_o more_o especial_o in_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n that_o we_o draw_v from_o thence_o more_o grace_n according_a to_o the_o greatness_n and_o capacity_n of_o the_o faith_n we_o bring_v with_o we_o to_o receive_v one_o need_v no_o more_o than_o ardent_o to_o desire_v it_o and_o open_v his_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o

by_o hope_n and_o we_o open_v our_o heart_n by_o charity_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god._n moreover_o let_v we_o add_v as_o the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a reason_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n that_o it_o be_v a_o celestial_a banquet_n wherein_o we_o receive_v the_o nourishment_n of_o our_o soul_n now_o who_o be_v there_o but_o he_o know_v that_o meat_n except_o it_o be_v eat_v

this_o be_v yet_o more_o certain_a in_o spiritual_a nutriment_n which_o require_v not_o either_o less_o action_n or_o co-operation_n and_o concurrence_n of_o our_o soul_n on_o our_o side_n to_o

otherwise_o we_o receive_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n than_o the_o coldness_n and_o indevotion_n with_o which_o we_o perform_v this_o duty_n which_o stop_v the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o hinder_v he_o from_o impart_v his_o favour_n to_o those_o who_o receive_v he_o with_o so_o much_o indifference_n and_o so_o unconcerned_a if_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o sufficient_o efficacious_a i_o shall_v add_v also_o without_o leave_v the_o comparison_n of_o a_o feast_n that_o we_o ought_v indeed_o to_o come_v clothe_v with_o the_o nuptial_a garment_n that_o be_v with_o
