which_o god_n promise_v to_o all_o his_o faithful_a soldier_n and_o know_v that_o our_o enemy_n the_o devyll_n be_v moo_v busy_a and_o fierce_a than_o craftelye_a to_o assault_v his_o soldier_n in_o

if_o the_o time_n of_o his_o war_n be_v prolong_v and_o further_o continue_v and_o many_o of_o his_o soldier_n be_v slay_v or_o depart_v than_o to_o provide_v that_o his_o army_n be_v ful_o restore_v

furthermore_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o like_o as_o in_o a_o man_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n two_o a_o body_n &_o a_o soul_n so_o in_o every_o sacrament_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n one_o that_o be_v outward_o see_v a_o other_o that_o be_v inward_o perceyve_v and_o beleve_v the_o outward_a visible_a thing_n be_v the_o element_n or_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o inward_a

sacrament_n the_o grace_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v spiritual_a and_o ordain_v of_o god_n to_o heal_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o because_o man_n principal_o do_v sin_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o reason_n and_o yet_o take_v occasion_n to_o sin_n of_o the_o sensuality_n and_o desire_n of_o his_o flesh_n therefore_o have_v god_n temper_v the_o medicine_n of_o his_o

what_o be_v contain_v within_o it_o and_o be_v also_o give_v by_o it_o as_o for_o example_n the_o spiritual_a grace_n of_o regeneration_n be_v give_v to_o a_o man_n by_o the_o use_n of_o baptism_n whereby_o he_o understand_v by_o the_o property_n of_o the_o water_n which_o be_v to_o wash_v away_o the_o fylthe_n of_o the_o body_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o inward_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o

which_o cause_n now_o the_o flesh_n be_v wash_v carnis_fw-la that_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v purge_v the_o flesh_n be_v anoint_a that_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v consecrate_v and_o hallow_v the_o flesh_n

their_o work_v so_o shall_v they_o be_v afterward_o join_v in_o reward_n and_o although_o these_o marvelous_a grace_n and_o spiritual_a medicine_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o iii._n sacrament_n yet_o god_n be_v only_o the_o author_n and_o gever_n of_o theym_n who_o heal_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n now_o join_v with_o the_o body_n with_o his_o spiritual_a grace_n minister_v in_o corporal_a

of_o the_o minyster_n although_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o conversyon_n to_o god_n &_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o heart_n &_o the_o aptness_n of_o the_o person_n be_v necessary_o require_v
