all_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o must_v give_v place_n to_o s._n peter_n and_o confess_v that_o he_o alone_o deserve_v the_o first_o rank_n if_o a_o comparison_n of_o the_o grace_n god_n give_v to_o

to_o their_o honour_n to_o refresh_v the_o memory_n of_o their_o generous_a action_n afterward_o he_o relate_v the_o life_n of_o phocas_n the_o martyr_n in_o a_o very_a plain_a and_o natural_a

you_o not_o tame_v the_o heat_n of_o lust_n with_o chastity_n a_o martyr_n have_v not_o regard_v all_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o do_v you_o not_o despise_v a_o small_a sum_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n a_o martyr_n have_v put_v off_o his_o own_o body_n for_o god_n sake_n why_o then_o will_v you_o not_o part_v with_o the_o mean_a garment_n to_o cover_v a_o poor_a man_n we_o

upon_o the_o first_o point_n he_o say_v that_o those_o who_o make_v use_v of_o unleavened_a bread_n be_v still_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o assist_v at_o the_o table_n of_o

wherefore_o do_v they_o say_v that_o the_o son_n be_v only_o something_o derive_v from_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n be_v it_o because_o they_o believe_v he_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o

from_o thence_o that_o the_o person_n who_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n do_v not_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v true_o god_n because_o the_o word_n of_o nature_n and_o substance_n be_v not_o at_o
