be_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o they_o have_v teach_v a_o long_a time_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n aswell_o as_o they_o 〈◊〉_d be_v not_o yet_o able_a to_o

even_o as_o christ_n say_v the_o hireling_n death_n which_o be_v not_o the_o shepherd_n &_o to_o who_o the_o sheep_n do_v not_o belong_v see_v the_o wolf_n come_v &_o forsake_v the_o sheep_n &_o

that_o in_o this_o peril_n desire_v to_o be_v without_o ieoperdy_o &_o not_o to_o be_v rend_v &_o tear_v of_o the_o wolf_n must_v diligent_o take_v heed_n that_o he_o put_v not_o his_o confidence_n in_o the_o law_n or_o in_o good_a work_n for_o there_o be_v no_o help_n in_o the_o law_n wolâ—e_n yea_o yâ—_z law_n be_v rather_o against_o we_o accuse_v &_o condemn_v we_o neither_o can_v good_a

true_a faith_n to_o resort_v unto_o he_o alone_o which_o say_v i_o be_o the_o good_a shepherd_n i_o geve_v my_o life_n for_o my_o sheep_n for_o he_o flee_v not_o the_o wolf_n neither_o be_v he_o

therefore_o when_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n we_o must_v resort_v and_o flee_v unto_o he_o alone_o and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v steadfast_o believe_v we_o ourselves_o can_v do_v

sayinge_v christ_n have_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o tree_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n may_v live_v unto_o righteousness_n by_o who_o stripe_n you_o be_v heal_v for_o you_o be_v sometime_o as_o sheep_n that_o run_v astray_o ensample_n but_o you_o be_v turn_v unto_o the_o shepherd_n and_o curate_n of_o your_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n which_o he_o afterward_o appli_v unto_o charity_n say_v christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v unto_o we_o a_o example_n that_o you_o shall_v follow_v his_o step_n as_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o that_o by_o his_o work_n he_o may_v redeem_v we_o without_o our_o work_n from_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a death_n so_o be_v we_o bind_v one_o to_o help_v and_o comfort_n a_o other_o when_o soever_o any_o

jesu_n as_o you_o have_v tofore_o hear_v yet_o may_v i_o geve_v my_o life_n that_o other_o by_o this_o example_n may_v be_v allure_v unto_o the_o word_n and_o bring_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

the_o brethren_n for_o this_o we_o right_a well_o know_v how_o great_a the_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o special_o the_o pope_n labour_v with_o all_o main_n to_o oppress_v the_o word_n yea_o and_o so_o many_o as_o be_v the_o true_a pastor_n &_o preacher_n thereof_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o faithful_a and_o good_a
