than_o those_o thing_n of_o the_o other_o life_n with_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o for_o because_o that_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o far_o great_a than_o other_o light_n but_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a light_n of_o faith_n and_o great_a store_n of_o worldly_a light_n but_o if_o we_o have_v as_o much_o light_n of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o humane_a wisdom_n we_o will_v not_o doubt_v therefore_o when_o we_o do_v make_v judgement_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o

to_o gainsay_v faith_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o great_a marvel_n if_o we_o oftentimes_o doubt_v but_o to_o conclude_v as_o charity_n be_v in_o itself_o more_o perfect_a than_o all_o worldly_a love_n so_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v more_o clear_a than_o all_o the_o light_n of_o this_o present_a life_n it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o as_o to_o that_o blind_a man_n 8._o mark_n 8._o to_o who_o
