that_o by_o it_o we_o cast_v ourselves_o whole_o upon_o christ_n or_o upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ._n but_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n proper_o and_o immediate_o do_v not_o transfer_v the_o whole_a man_n but_o the_o act_n of_o the_o will_n which_o alone_o therefore_o proper_o be_v call_v the_o act_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v here_o answer_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o aggregate_v thing_n consist_v partly_o of_o knowledge_n and_o partly_o of_o affiance_n because_o unto_o such_o aggregate_v thing_n single_a and_o distinct_a operation_n can_v not_o be_v attribute_v as_o be_v attribute_v unto_o faith_n for_o example_n the_o health_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n have_v no_o distinct_a operation_n but_o be_v conceive_v as_o a_o single_a thing_n extend_v itself_o alike_o to_o soundness_n of_o all_o and_o of_o every_o part_n and_o as_o holiness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o or_o that_o virtue_n have_v no_o distinct_a and_o single_a operation_n moreover_o no_o more_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o knowledge_n &_o affiance_n shall_v make_v up_o one_o aggregate_v thing_n than_o knowledge_n and_o hope_n or_o knowledge_n and_o love_n or_o than_o knowledge_n and_o justice_n or_o temperance_n beside_o all_o this_o however_o knowledge_n be_v aggregated_a with_o true_a faith_n yet_o because_o a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o knowledge_n which_o go_v before_o affiance_n be_v find_v also_o in_o the_o devil_n themselves_o neither_o yet_o can_v any_o knowledge_n be_v show_v that_o go_v before_o affiance_n which_o be_v not_o
of_o life_n and_o death_n over_o we_o not_o of_o the_o body_n only_o but_o of_o the_o soul_n or_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a 3._o that_o we_o believe_v all_o and_o rest_n in_o they_o by_o true_a
