be_v that_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n and_o before_o man_n it_o make_v we_o absolute_a and_o complete_a christian_n and_o worthy_a of_o that_o name_n in_o all_o respect_n for_o whereas_o before_o by_o baptism_n we_o be_v but_o in_o the_o state_n of_o child_n or_o childish_a christian_n by_o confirmation_n we_o be_v put_v in_o state_n of_o man_n or_o manly_a christian_n and_o therefore_o as_o a_o man_n better_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o man_n than_o a_o child_n do_v so_o a_o confirm_a christian_n better_a deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a than_o one_o who_o be_v not_o confirm_v moreover_o christian_n christ_n name_n of_o chrism_n and_o consequent_o christian_n though_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v deserve_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n so_o

christian_a according_a to_o the_o perfect_a and_o entire_a derivation_n thereof_o from_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v also_o signify_v a_o chrismed_a or_o anoint_a disciple_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a according_a to_o its_o complete_a and_o perfect_a signification_n do_v agree_v only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v confirm_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n cyrill_n and_o
