of_o aethiopia_n do_v well_o to_o be_v catechize_v by_o philip_n and_o hear_v he_o expound_v the_o prophet_n isai_n unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v the_o best_a hour_n that_o ever_o s._n augustine_n spend_v in_o his_o whole_a life_n when_o he_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o eloquence_n of_o s._n ambrose_n for_o so_o of_o a_o manachie_n he_o become_v a_o true_a christian_a and_o the_o rest_n of_o infidel_n become_v faithful_a and_o by_o come_v to_o hear_v obtain_v mercy_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o understand_v that_o which_o be_v teach_v they_o and_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n jesus_n wherefore_o i_o exhort_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o so_o often_o as_o they_o come_v or_o repair_v to_o any_o divine_a exercise_n they_o come_v to_o hear_v and_o hear_v to_o understand_v what_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v unto_o they_o for_o when_o they_o come_v &_o not_o hear_v they_o despise_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n when_o they_o hear_v and_o not_o understand_v or_o believe_v the_o word_n become_v unfruitful_a unto_o they_o and_o all_o their_o hear_n be_v in_o vain_a which_o catechise_v will_v help_v quid_fw-la est_fw-la

all_o man_n to_o hear_v and_o it_o agree_v with_o every_o man_n natural_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o great_a cause_n that_o this_o charge_n be_v here_o give_v because_o many_o time_n man_n
