thou_o christ_n religion_n thou_o have_v a_o long_a name_n for_o than_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_a man_n a_o christian_a woman_n now_o then_o see_v thou_o be_v a_o christian_a man_n what_o shall_v be_v thy_o answer_n of_o this_o question_n who_o art_n thou_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o question_n be_v when_o i_o ask_v it_o unto_o myself_o i_o must_v say_v that_o i_o be_o a_o christian_a man_n a_o christian_n woman_n the_o child_n of_o everlasting_a joy_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o bitter_a passion_n of_o christ._n this_o be_v a_o joyful_a answer_n here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o much_o we_o be_v bind_v and_o in_o danger_n unto_o god_n that_o have_v reviue_v we_o from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o save_v we_o that_o be_v damn_v which_o great_a benefit_n we_o can_v well_o consider_v unless_o we_o do_v remember_v what_o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o before_o we_o meddle_v with_o he_o or_o his_o law_n and_o the_o more_o we_o know_v our_o feeble_a nature_n and_o set_v less_o by_o it_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v conceive_v and_o know_v in_o our_o heart_n what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o the_o more_o that_o we_o know_v what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o the_o less_o we_o shall_v set_v by_o ourselves_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v love_v and_o please_v god_n so_o that_o in_o no_o condition_n we_o shall_v either_o know_v ourselves_o or_o god_n except_o we_o do_v utter_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v mere_a vileness_n and_o corruption_n well_o now_o it_o be_v come_v unto_o this_o point_n that_o we_o be_v christian_a man_n christian_a woman_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o do_v christ_n require_v of_o a_o christian_a man_n or_o of_o a_o christian_a woman_n christ_n require_v nothing_o else_o of_o a_o christian_a man_n or_o a_o woma●_n but_o that_o they_o will_v observe_v his_o rule_n for_o likewise_o as_o he_o be_v a_o good_a augustine_n friar_n that_o keep_v well_o saint_n augustine_n rule_n so_o be_v he_o a_o good_a christian_a man_n that_o keep_v well_o christ_n rule_n now_o then_o what_o be_v christ_n rule_n christ_n rule_n consist_v in_o many_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o so_o forth_o and_o for_o because_o i_o can_v not_o declare_v christ_n rule_n unto_o you_o at_o one_o time_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v i_o will_v apply_v myself_o accord_v to_o your_o custom_n this_o time_n of_o

the_o same_o in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v willing_a to_o play_v at_o this_o triumph_n with_o these_o card_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o winner_n and_o not_o loser_n
