the_o gala._n chap._n iij._n for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o and_o a_o spiritual_a people_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v all_o priest_n together_o and_o all_o both_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o show_v

as_o in_o nunnery_n there_o may_v a_o woman_n well_o be_v appoint_v to_o preach_v to_o the_o rest_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o two_o priesthood_n which_o as_o we_o have_v say_v consist_v in_o

to_o sacrifice_v themselves_o unto_o god_n forsake_v therefore_o and_o renounce_v the_o opinion_n of_o those_o dolt_n which_o call_v the_o common_a rascal_n sort_n of_o clergy_n man_n or_o clerk_n as_o they_o term_v they_o only_a priest_n which_o kind_n of_o person_n you_o evident_o see_v to_o execute_v no_o other_o office_n but_o to_o brag_v out_o their_o lewdness_n with_o a_o shave_a crown_n and_o greasy_a finger_n if_o this_o shave_n and_o anoynty_v do_v make_v priste_n then_o true_o can_v i_o aswell_o make_v a_o ass_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n by_o shave_v and_o clip_a of_o certain_a of_o his_o hair_n and_o by_o anoint_v and_o beesmear_v his_o hoof_n last_o of_o all_o saint_n peter_n wiss_v we_o to_o offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n now_o if_o christ_n be_v that_o corner_n stone_n upon_o who_o we_o be_v build_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o all_o our_o cogitation_n to_o godward_o aught_o to_o be_v further_v administer_v and_o

which_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o account_n worth_a a_o rush_n great_a cause_n therefore_o there_o be_v why_o the_o scripture_n term_v christ_n a_o precious_a corner_n stone_n see_v that_o he_o communicate_v and_o impart_v his_o virtue_n and_o power_n unto_o all_o they_o that_o by_o faith_n be_v build_v upon_o he_o therefore_o teach_v s._n peter_n in_o this_o place_n how_o christ_n be_v

the_o very_a same_o that_o we_o even_o last_o of_o all_o entreat_v of_o and_o accord_v to_o our_o ability_n expound_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a place_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o set_v down_o as_o the_o foundation_n if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o preach_v in_o any_o place_n where_o christ_n aforetyme_o have_v not_o be_v preach_v for_o here_o and_o hence_o must_v we_o take_v our_o beginning_n that_o christ_n be_v that_o stone_n upon_o who_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v build_v &_o to_o rest_n that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o of_o any_o corporal_a or_o material_a stone_n it_o be_v most_o plain_o prove_v by_o that_o which_o next_o follow_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a if_o i_o ought_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o must_v needs_o he_o a_o spiritual_a stone_n for_o how_o or_o why_o shall_v i_o believe_v in_o stone_n or_o wood_n again_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a god_n for_o because_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o table_n we_o be_v express_o forbid_v to_o believe_v in_o any_o other_o thing_n save_v in_o he_o see_v therefore_o that_o such_o a_o stone_n be_v couch_v and_o say_v in_o the_o foundation_n upon_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v it_o consequent_o follow_v that_o he_o the_o same_o be_v god_n again_o he_o can_v not_o only_o be_v god_n but_o he_o must_v also_o be_v man_n withal_o because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o building_n and_o not_o only_a partaker_n but_o also_o the_o head_n thereof_o now_o where_o any_o

in_o the_o same_o condition_n nature_n and_o form_n that_o the_o other_o stone_n be_v therefore_o see_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v build_v upon_o christ_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o be_v
