those_o therefore_o be_v the_o promise_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o catechuman_n faith_n and_o which_o according_o he_o be_v steadfast_o to_o believe_v it_o will_v not_o be_v

of_o they_o for_o my_o more_o orderly_a resolution_n whereof_o i_o will_v inquire_v first_o what_o it_o mean_v by_o belief_n and_o then_o by_o a_o steadfast_a one_o now_o by_o belief_n may_v be_v
