and_o faith_n without_o love_n belong_v to_o evil_a christian_n it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o that_o we_o note_v the_o difference_n in_o these_o three_o saieng_n or_o speech_n namely_o to_o

it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v be_v dead_a and_o therefore_o be_v not_o proper_o virtue_n nor_o yet_o a_o work_n of_o virtue_n if_o thou_o will_v then_o have_v thy_o
