the_o body_n &_o therefore_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n be_v never_o in_o the_o grave_n in_o those_o three_o day_n the_o which_o he_o continue_v dead_a wherefore_o by_o this_o word_n inferno_fw-la

he_o die_v for_o thou_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o have_v all_o power_n which_o must_v also_o be_v thy_o judge_n thou_o shall_v be_v sure_a and_o safe_a through_o faith_n that_o his_o judgement_n shall_v be_v favourable_a unto_o thou_o chief_o learn_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v our_o judge_n he_o be_v not_o only_o our_o advocate_n but_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o our_o cause_n we_o must_v moreover_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o because_o albeit_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o rise_v again_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n be_v our_o advocate_n and_o pray_v for_o we_o yet_o we_o can_v not_o be_v save_v if_o god_n with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n do_v not_o open_v our_o heart_n make_v we_o to_o understand_v and_o be_v partaker_n of_o these_o so_o great_a benefit_n through_o

be_v therefore_o needful_a that_o thou_o feel_v lyvely_a in_o thou_o this_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o renu_v thou_o lighten_v move_v inspire_v imprint_v and_o make_v thou_o feel_v god_n in_o

which_o beléeve_v that_o christ_n die_v and_o that_o not_o vain_o beléeve_v also_o that_o there_o be_v fruit_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o death_n which_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a wherefore_o we_o must_v also_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a catholic_a church_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o elect_a of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o

it_o be_v needful_a that_o thou_o do_v lively_o believe_v and_o feel_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o portion_n and_o member_n of_o the_o same_o and_o that_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o the_o elect._n thou_o

of_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n 1._o ephes_n 1._o therefore_o more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n rejoice_v thyself_o in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o mishap_n as_o member_n and_o good_a brother_n do_v together_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o benefit_n which_o christ_n do_v to_o his_o church_n be_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v proper_a to_o one_o man_n alone_o but_o for_o the_o commodity_n of_o they_o all_o therefore_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o to_o possess_v or_o use_v any_o thing_n for_o thy_o own_o lucre_n but_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o safeguard_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n and_o so_o thou_o ought_v to_o this_o same_o end_n or_o purpose_n procure_v the_o safety_n of_o thy_o brother_n and_o with_o faith_n to_o embrace_v
in_o every_o other_o manner_n that_o it_o be_v use_v or_o to_o any_o other_o end_n it_o be_v but_o superstition_n wherefore_o all_o they_o be_v superstitious_a which_o beléeve_v that_o prayer_n the_o

and_o to_o move_v we_o to_o praise_v he_o have_v any_o other_o singular_a virtue_n to_o deliver_v he_o which_o carri_v they_o about_o his_o neck_n or_o say_v these_o or_o those_o word_n from_o this_o or_o that_o evil_a or_o to_o make_v we_o have_v some_o particular_a grace_n and_o if_o they_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o it_o be_v see_v yet_o sometime_o by_o experience_n that_o they_o have_v a_o singular_a virtue_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o be_v altogether_o illusion_n &_o devilish_a work_n for_o to_o nourish_v man_n in_o superstition_n withal_o likewise_o also_o albeit_o when_o one_o

so_o ordain_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v a_o great_a superstition_n to_o believe_v that_o in_o these_o word_n be_v such_o a_o singular_a virtue_n that_o he_o which_o be_v baptize_v with_o they_o be_v in_o any_o part_n save_v thereby_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v save_v only_o through_o christ_n on_o who_o alone_o depend_v all_o our_o salvation_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v most_o wicked_a

as_o the_o institution_n of_o sacrament_n be_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n the_o high_a priest_n and_o our_o office_n be_v manifest_v in_o this_o that_o we_o do_v that_o which_o christ_n have_v

the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n than_o whereof_o grow_v all_o superstition_n be_v the_o ignorance_n or_o want_n of_o the_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n he_o we_o can_v know_v by_o any_o our_o

that_o at_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a we_o despise_v as_o earth_n all_o idol_n and_o superstitition_n 13_o ezech._n 30._o zach._n 13_o for_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a

amen_n ¶_o of_o the_o mean_a how_o to_o have_v all_o virtue_n sermon_n ten_o there_o have_v be_v some_o which_o have_v say_v that_o god_n have_v pour_v into_o man_n the_o seed_n of_o virtue_n so_o
