confess_v even_o the_o same_o that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o alone_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n do_v sanctify_v all_o man_n and_o even_o the_o very_a babe_n in_o their_o mother_n

2._o as_o they_o say_v that_o some_o folk_n have_v do_v and_o yet_o do_v at_o this_o present_a day_n saint_n augustine_n do_v testify_v that_o the_o heretic_n seleucus_n and_o hermias_n who_o be_v

saint_n john_n speak_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n first_o first_o and_o then_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o fire_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v think_v that_o either_o he_o do_v understand_v two_o

man_n may_v forgo_v it_o so_o the_o water_n be_v very_o needful_a be_v of_o a_o very_a clear_a pure_a and_o clean_a nature_n and_o very_o meet_v for_o to_o represent_v and_o signify_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o the_o water_n do_v renew_v the_o earth_n make_v it_o fertile_a water_n cause_v it_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o do_v wash_v the_o

the_o evil_a concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n 36._o he_o do_v also_o quench_v the_o thirst_n of_o the_o poor_a trouble_a soul_n satisfy_v they_o for_o evermore_o second_o he_o will_v by_o this_o
