three_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v see_v unto_o all_o how_o god_n have_v glorify_v they_o who_o be_v persecute_v &_o vex_v in_o this_o world_n four_o for_o

eight_o article_n s_o the_o eight_o article_n say_v i_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n what_o signify_v the_o holy_a ghost_n m_o here_o be_v declare_v the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a trinity_n as_o in_o the_o first_o article_n be_v declare_v the_o first_o and_o in_o the_o other_o six_o the_o second_o so_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o

the_o same_o divinity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o son_n s_o i_o will_v have_v some_o similitude_n of_o this_o m_o divine_a matter_n can_v not_o be_v perfect_o declare_v by_o any_o example_n of_o create_a thing_n &_o especial_o by_o corparal_a thing_n notwithstanding_o take_v you_o the_o example_n of_o a_o lake_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o some_o river_n as_o the_o river_n be_v derive_v from_o some_o fountain_n and_o yet_o all_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o water_n so_o the_o eternal_a father_n as_o a_o fountain_n produce_v the_o son_n as_o a_o river_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o a_o fountain_n and_o a_o river_n produce_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o lake_n &_o yet_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o three_o god_n but_o one_o only_o god_n s_o wherefore_o be_v the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n call_v holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o also_o all_o angel_n and_o all_o the_o bless_a soul_n spirit_n and_o holy_a m_o god_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a spirit_n by_o excelencie_n because_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a spirit_n and_o most_o holy_a and_o author_n of_o all_o create_a spirit_n and_o of_o all_o holiness_n like_a as_o a_o among_o man_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v father_n and_o holy_a either_o by_o office_n or_o by_o goodness_n of_o life_n to_o wit_n many_o good_a bishop_n or_o priest_n or_o religious_a man_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o call_v holy_a father_n but_o the_o pope_n because_o this_o name_n belong_v unto_o he_o alone_o by_o excellency_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o other_o father_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a of_o all_o by_o goodness_n of_o life_n as_o he_o be_v by_o office_n represent_v unto_o we_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n s_o if_o the_o name_n of_o holy_a ghost_n belong_v unto_o god_n by_o excellency_n wherefore_o be_v it_o only_o attribute_v unto_o the_o three_o person_n be_v not_o the_o father_n also_o &_o the_o son_n a_o spirit_n &_o holy_a by_o excellency_n m_o it_o be_v true_a but_o because_o the_o first_o person_n have_v a_o proper_a name_n to_o wit_n the_o father_n &_o the_o second_o have_v a_o proper_a name_n to_o wit_n the_o son_n to_o the_o three_o be_v leave_v a_o common_a name_n to_o distinguish_v he_o from_o the_o other_o two_o and_o moreover_o you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n that_o he_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o two_o word_n make_v one_o name_n only_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v call_v joannes_n maria_n they_o be_v one_o only_a name_n though_o otherwise_o john_n &_o mary_n be_v common_o two_o name_n s_o what_o mean_v it_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v paint_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n especial_o over_o christ_n and_o our_o lady_n m_o you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o body_n or_o that_o he_o can_v be_v see_v with_o corporal_a eye_n but_o he_o be_v paint_v so_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o effect_n which_o he_o work_v upon_o man_n and_o because_o the_o dove_n be_v simple_a pure_a jealous_a and_o fruitful_a he_o be_v therefore_o paint_a over_o christ_n and_o our_o lady_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v understand_v that_o christ_n and_o our_o lady_n be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o in_o particular_a of_o holy_a simplicity_n purity_n zeal_n of_o soul_n and_o spiritual_a fecundity_n by_o the_o which_o they_o have_v gain_v infinite_a child_n to_o wit_n all_o the_o faithful_a and_o good_a christian_n s_o what_o mean_v it_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v paint_v over_o the_o apostle_n in_o form_n of_o fyerie_a tongue_n m_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ten_o day_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n come_v upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o replenish_v they_o with_o knowledge_n with_o charity_n and_o with_o eloquence_n teach_v they_o to_o speak_v with_o all_o tongue_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o preach_v the_o holy_a faith_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o in_o sign_n of_o these_o wonderful_a effect_n he_o cause_v those_o tongue_n of_o fire_n to_o appear_v because_o the_o light_n of_o that_o fire_n do_v signify_v wisdom_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o same_o do_v signify_v charity_n and_o the_o form_n of_o a_o tongue_n signify_v eloquence_n and_o for_o that_o this_o be_v a_o most_o great_a benefit_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o his_o church_n therefore_o we_o do_v celebrate_v that_o great_a feast_n call_v penticost_n or_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o nine_o article_n s_o what_o signify_v that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o nine_o article_n the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n m_o here_o begin_v the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o creed_n for_o the_o first_o part_n belong_v unto_o god_n the_o second_o unto_o the_o church_n the_o spouse_n of_o god_n and_o as_o in_o god_n we_o believe_v one_o divinity_n and_o three_o person_n so_o in_o the_o church_n we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v one_o only_a church_n and_o that_o it_o have_v three_o principal_a grace_n the_o first_o in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n a_o other_o in_o the_o body_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o three_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o which_o shall_v be_v life_n eternal_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o article_n follow_v s_o may_v it_o please_v you_o declare_v unto_o i_o the_o whole_a article_n word_n by_o word_n &_o first_o what_o mean_v the_o church_n m_o it_o signify_v a_o convocation_n or_o congregation_n of_o man_n which_o be_v baptize_v and_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o law_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o chief_a bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o it_o be_v call_v convocation_n because_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v christian_n as_o we_o be_v bear_v englishman_n italian_n french_a or_o of_o any_o other_o country_n but_o we_o be_v call_v christian_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o enter_v into_o this_o congregation_n by_o baptism_n which_o be_v as_o the_o door_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n it_o do_v not_o suffice_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o believe_v and_o confess_v the_o holy_a faith_n and_o law_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o pastor_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o same_o church_n do_v teach_v us._n neither_o do_v this_o suffice_v but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o obey_v the_o chief_a bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o vicar_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o hold_v he_o for_o chief_a superior_a and_o vicar_n of_o christ_n s_o if_o the_o church_n be_v a_o congregation_n of_o man_n how_o do_v we_o call_v those_o building_n church_n where_o mass_n and_o other_o service_n of_o god_n be_v say_v m_o because_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n be_v gather_v together_o in_o those_o building_n to_o practice_v the_o exercise_n of_o christian_n therefore_o those_o building_n be_v also_o call_v church_n chief_o when_o they_o be_v dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o we_o in_o this_o article_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n make_v of_o stone_n &_o wood_n but_o of_o the_o live_a church_n which_o be_v the_o faithful_a baptise_a people_n and_o obedient_a unto_o the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n as_o have_v be_v say_v s_o why_o be_v it_o say_v the_o church_n and_o not_o the_o church_n see_v many_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v found_v in_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o world_n m_o because_o the_o church_n be_v but_o one_o though_o it_o contain_v all_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n not_o only_o those_o which_o

be_v now_o live_v but_o also_o those_o which_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o shall_v be_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o call_v one_o but_o also_o catholic_a that_o be_v to_o say_v universal_a because_o it_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o place_n and_o to_o all_o time_n s_o for_o what_o reason_n be_v the_o church_n call_v one_o only_o if_o it_o contain_v so_o great_a a_o multitude_n of_o man_n m_o it_o be_v call_v one_o only_o because_o it_o have_v one_o only_o head_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o his_o one_o vicar_n in_o earth_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o again_o because_o it_o live_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o law_n as_o a_o kingdom_n be_v call_v one_o because_o it_o have_v one_o only_o king_n and_o the_o same_o law_n though_o in_o that_o kingdom_n there_o be_v many_o province_n &_o many_o more_o city_n or_o town_n s_o wherefore_o be_v it_o say_v that_o this_o church_n be_v holy_a see_v there_o be_v many_o wicked_a man_n in_o it_o m_o it_o be_v call_v holy_a for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o head_n there_o of_o which_o be_v christ_n be_v most_o holy_a like_v as_o one_o that_o have_v a_o fair_a faice_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o fair_a man_n though_o he_o have_v some_o crooked_a finger_n or_o some_o blot_n on_o his_o breast_n or_o shoulder_n second_o because_o all_o faithful_a people_n be_v holy_a by_o faith_n and_o profession_n for_o they_o have_v one_o most_o true_a and_o divine_a faith_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o of_o a_o most_o just_a law_n which_o do_v not_o command_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o forbid_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a three_o because_o there_o be_v always_o in_o the_o church_n some_o assure_o good_a not_o only_o by_o faith_n and_o profession_n but_o by_o virtue_n and_o manner_n also_o whereas_o among_o jew_n turk_n heretic_n and_o such_o like_a people_n who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n none_o at_o all_o can_v true_o be_v good_a s_o what_o signify_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n m_o it_o signify_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n be_v in_o such_o sort_n unite_v that_o of_o the_o good_a of_o one_o member_n all_o the_o rest_n do_v participate_v whereby_o how_o many_o soever_o there_o be_v in_o far_a country_n though_o we_o do_v not_o know_v they_o yet_o their_o mass_n divine_a office_n other_o prayer_n and_o good_a work_n help_v we_o also_o and_o this_o communion_n be_v not_o only_o here_o upon_o earth_n but_o our_o mass_n prayer_n and_o other_o good_a work_n help_v those_o that_o be_v in_o purgatory_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o heaven_n help_v we_o &_o the_o soul_n also_o in_o purgatory_n s_o if_o this_o be_v so_o it_o need_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o any_o in_o particular_a nor_o to_o procure_v mass_n to_o be_v say_v for_o this_o or_o for_o that_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n see_v all_o good_a be_v common_a m_o it_o be_v not_o so_o because_o mass_n prayer_n and_o other_o good_a work_n though_o they_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n common_a unto_o all_o yet_o they_o help_v more_o such_o as_o they_o be_v do_v for_o in_o particular_a than_o other_o s_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v excommunicate_v do_v they_o also_o participate_v of_o the_o good_a work_n of_o the_o faithful_a or_o no_o m_o for_o this_o they_o be_v call_v excommunicate_v because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o they_o be_v like_o bow_n cut_v from_o the_o tree_n or_o like_a member_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n which_o do_v not_o enjoy_v the_o good_a humour_n that_o be_v spread_v among_o the_o other_o bow_n and_o unite_a member_n and_o by_o this_o you_o may_v gather_v what_o account_n be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o excommunication_n see_v he_o can_v have_v god_n for_o his_o father_n that_o have_v not_o the_o church_n for_o his_o mother_n s_o be_v then_o the_o excommunicate_v out_o of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o jew_n and_o other_o infidel_n be_v m_o so_o it_o be_v but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n that_o the_o jew_n and_o turk_n be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n because_o they_o never_o enter_v in_o be_v never_o baptize_v the_o heretic_n which_o be_v baptize_v and_o have_v lose_v their_o faith_n be_v out_o because_o they_o be_v go_v forth_o and_o flee_v away_o of_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o the_o church_n enforce_v they_o by_o diverse_a punishment_n to_o return_v unto_o the_o holy_a faith_n as_o when_o a_o sheep_n fly_v from_o the_o fold_n the_o shepherd_n force_v he_o with_o his_o stafe_n to_o return_v but_o other_o excommunicate_v which_o have_v baptism_n and_o faith_n and_o do_v enter_v in_o and_o not_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o be_v drive_v out_o by_o force_n as_o when_o the_o shepherd_n drive_v forth_o a_o infect_a sheep_n and_o leave_v the_o same_o a_o pray_v for_o the_o wolf_n yet_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n drive_v not_o out_o the_o excommunicate_v to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v ever_o remain_v out_o but_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v repent_v of_o their_o disobedience_n and_o demand_v to_o return_v be_v humble_v and_o so_o be_v receive_v again_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o their_o mother_n and_o to_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n of_o the_o ten_o article_n s_o what_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o ten_o article_n m_o this_o be_v the_o first_o of_o those_o three_o principal_a benefit_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o church_n for_o which_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o know_v that_o all_o man_n be_v bear_v sinner_n and_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o after_o increase_v they_o pass_v from_o evil_a to_o worse_o until_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n their_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o so_o become_v his_o friend_n and_o child_n this_o grace_n which_o be_v so_o great_a be_v not_o find_v other_o where_o they_o in_o the_o holy_a church_n in_o which_o be_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n &_o namely_o baptism_n &_o penance_n which_o as_o heavenly_a medicine_n cureman_n of_o all_o spiritual_a disease_n which_o be_v sin_n s_o i_o pray_v you_o declare_v unto_o i_o a_o little_a better_o how_o great_a this_o benefit_n be_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n m_o in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o find_v a_o great_a evil_a than_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o for_o that_o all_o evil_n in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v do_v spring_n from_o it_o but_o also_o for_o that_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n become_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o what_o can_v be_v say_v worse_o then_o to_o be_v enemy_n unto_o he_o who_o can_v do_v all_o that_o he_o will_v and_o none_o can_v resist_v he_o &_o who_o can_v defend_v he_o with_o who_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o contrariwise_o in_o this_o life_n a_o great_a good_n can_v not_o be_v find_v then_o to_o be_v in_o grace_n for_o who_o can_v hurt_v he_o who_o god_n defend_v all_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n brief_o you_o know_v that_o among_o corporal_a thing_n life_n be_v most_o esteem_v because_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o other_o good_a thing_n and_o death_n be_v most_o abhor_a because_o it_o be_v contrary_a unto_o life_n so_o then_o see_v sin_n be_v the_o spiritual_a death_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o same_o soul_n you_o may_v easy_o consider_v how_o great_a a_o benefit_n be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n see_v in_o it_o only_o be_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n of_o the_o eleven_o article_n s_o what_o mean_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v the_o eleven_o article_n m_o this_o be_v the_o second_o principal_a benefit_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n to_o wit_n that_o in_o the_o last_o day_n all_o those_o who_o sin_n shall_v be_v remit_v shall_v return_v to_o life_n s_o and_o other_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n or_o have_v not_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n shall_v not_o they_o return_v also_o to_o life_n again_o m_o touch_v natural_a life_n all_o shall_v return_v to_o live_v as_o the_o good_a so_o the_o bad_a but_o because_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o bad_a shall_v be_v for_o their_o perpetual_a torment_n &_o not_o for_o any_o good_a to_o they_o therefore_o that_o life_n of_o they_o be_v call_v rather_o a_o death_n than_o a_o true_a life_n &_o so_o the_o true_a resurrection_n to_o wit_n unto_o life_n worthy_a to_o be_v desire_v shall_v not_o be_v of_o any_o but_o of_o the_o good_a which_o shall_v be_v find_v without_o
