very_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o indeed_o i_o can_v believe_v no_o other_o for_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o show_v i_o as_o much_o i_o consider_v that_o though_o i_o can_v not_o believe_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n all_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o disagreement_n yet_o in_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o they_o all_o agree_v i_o have_v reason_n to_o do_v no_o other_o but_o to_o believe_v they_o all_o i_o seek_v therefore_o next_o to_o see_v in_o what_o they_o agree_v and_o find_v they_o all_o agree_v in_o these_o thing_n and_o no_o other_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n to_o be_v adore_v here_o for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n for_o the_o righteous_a and_o a_o hell_n for_o the_o wicked_a the_o one_o as_o a_o reward_n and_o the_o other_o as_o a_o punishment_n for_o the_o fame_n hereafter_o i_o conclude_v i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v they_o in_o these_o thing_n and_o no_o other_o so_o that_o now_o i_o doubt_v even_o of_o christianity_n itself_o next_o therefore_o be_v at_o sery_n there_o be_v a_o whole_a parish_n of_o christian_n in_o which_o there_o be_v three_o franciscan_n all_o priest_n one_o of_o which_o seem_v very_o learned_a and_o ingenious_a i_o have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o have_v some_o private_a discourse_n with_o he_o and_o the_o better_a to_o have_v his_o advice_n and_o safe_a to_o relate_v my_o doubt_n i_o go_v to_o he_o to_o confession_n in_o which_o i_o declare_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o travel_n i_o have_v be_v bring_v even_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n both_o of_o christ_n and_o christianity_n the_o franciscan_a father_n be_v great_o surprise_v to_o hear_v i_o relate_v this_o and_o the_o better_a to_o regain_v i_o to_o the_o faith_n ask_v i_o whether_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o that_o i_o do_v not_o only_o believe_v but_o be_v very_o sensible_a of_o he_o then_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o believe_v the_o holy_a prophet_n the_o writer_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v of_o god_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v i_o great_o question_v whether_o they_o be_v or_o no._n he_o then_o show_v i_o divers_a reason_n to_o prove_v they_o be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v contain_v in_o their_o prophecy_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a which_o reason_n especial_o those_o which_o be_v most_o convince_a to_o i_o i_o
