to_o pray_v for_o the_o soul_n depart_v say_v that_o he_o think_v his_o prayer_n shall_v nothing_o avayle_v they_o yet_o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o tru_a that_o you_o have_v in_o remembrance_n how_o in_o time_n paste_n i_o have_v prove_v by_o auctority_n of_o hierome_n augustin_n ambrose_n and_o chrysostome_n and_o also_o by_o scripture_n as_o saint_n augustine_n understand_v they_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o do_v for_o they_o be_v in_o such_o case_n that_o they_o may_v be_v relive_v by_o our_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n ¶_o all_o though_o in_o consyder_v the_o

the_o region_n of_o christendom_n which_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v spiritual_o dead_a and_o now_o by_o his_o mercy_n have_v life_n give_v to_o they_o so_o knit_v and_o join_v to_o he_o

to_o such_o simple_a unknowen_a abiecte_a and_o vile_a person_n as_o the_o apostol_n be_v after_o the_o worldly_a estimation_n which_o preched_a thing_n incredible_a as_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n which_o crucify_v and_o put_v to_o death_n rise_v again_o the_o third_o day_n by_o his_o own_o power_n from_o dethe_v to_o life_n and_o soon_o after_o ascend_v to_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o church_n so_o that_o the_o diversity_n of_o region_n and_o country_n make_v not_o the_o diversite_a of_o church_n but_o the_o unity_n of_o feyth_n make_v all_o

they_o make_v one_o in_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o church_n so_o that_o it_o be_v of_o no_o necessity_n for_o they_o to_o know_v peter_n as_o many_o have_v reken_v in_o the_o byshoppe_n of_o rome_n that_o except_o we_o know_v he_o and_o his_o holy_a college_n we_o can_v not_o be_v of_o christis_fw-la church_n but_o i_o be_o right_n sure_a that_o many_o thousand_o be_v save_v which_o never_o hear_v of_o peter_n nor_o yet_o of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n so_o that_o the_o unity_n of_o christis_fw-la church_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o any_o erthe_o creature_n but_o in_o
