our_o lord_n the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n to_o wit_n because_o therein_o especial_o human_a reason_n find_v much_o difficulty_n and_o labour_n when_o faith_n offer_v to_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o

he_o to_o attain_v to_o by_o any_o human_a understanding_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o receive_v the_o knowledge_n thereof_o from_o god_n now_o this_o knowledge_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o
