these_o two_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o he_o 1_o mankind_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereunto_o it_o wilful_o fall_v be_v altogether_o lose_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o can_v in_o no_o wise_a

4_o furthermore_o see_v it_o behove_v god_n which_o be_v most_o just_a to_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v his_o justice_n may_v be_v fulfil_v and_o man_n can_v not_o

the_o presence_n of_o god_n save_v only_o this_o one_o 5_o and_o as_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o law_n represent_v by_o prophet_n king_n and_o priest_n so_o be_v exhibit_v in_o his_o time_n he_o be_v

all_o thing_n needful_a thereupon_o 8_o this_o kingdom_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o other_o kingdom_n that_o be_v earthly_a but_o it_o be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n be_v worthy_o

the_o jew_n themselves_o who_o will_v have_v the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o roman_a praelate_n to_o be_v a_o visible_a representation_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n 9_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n

the_o which_o agreement_n or_o assent_n we_o affirm_v that_o it_o may_v arise_v from_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n also_o and_o the_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v compass_v by_o humane_a reason_n

the_o word_n essence_n in_o this_o doctrine_n be_v mean_v that_o which_o in_o deed_n be_v one_o and_o of_o all_o thing_n most_o singular_a or_o single_a wherein_o the_o several_a person_n be_v every_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o coessential_a not_o because_o they_o be_v only_o of_o like_a essence_n and_o substance_n as_o we_o see_v the_o particular_n of_o the_o same_o kind_a to_o be_v but_o inasmuche_o as_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o simple_a essence_n of_o which_o sort_n nothing_o that_o be_v create_v can_v be_v and_o therefore_o the_o person_n of_o the_o deity_n can_v without_o blasphemy_n be_v say_v to_o be_v only_o coherent_a together_o in_o substance_n or_o only_o of_o like_a substance_n 10_o among_o these_o person_n distinguish_v indeed_o by_o their_o

conclude_v that_o there_o be_v indeed_o three_o person_n in_o number_n yet_o but_o one_o godhead_n and_o one_o god_n in_o regard_n of_o substance_n 11_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o person_n of_o

to_o effect_v so_o great_a a_o work_n and_o they_o be_v most_o evil_a namely_o satan_n the_o priest_n judas_z and_o pilate_n for_o who_o but_o such_o as_o be_v most_o wicked_a can_v find_v in_o
