of_o the_o servant_n and_o contrariwise_o if_o a_o servant_n take_v off_o his_o cap_n unto_o his_o prince_n it_o be_v but_o little_o esteem_v but_o if_o the_o prince_n shall_v take_v off_o he_o unto_o

that_o remain_v sometime_o after_o the_o other_o sacrament_n to_o wit_n those_o which_o the_o party_n do_v not_o remember_v or_o not_o know_v and_o which_o if_o he_o have_v know_v and_o remember_v he_o will_v willing_o have_v repent_v and_o confess_v they_o the_o second_o be_v to_o consort_v the_o sick_a &_o to_o make_v he_o strong_a in_o spirit_n in_o that_o time_n when_o he_o find_v himself_o oppress_v with_o bodily_a infirmity_n and_o with_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o three_o be_v to_o restore_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n if_o that_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o eternal_a salvation_n of_o the_o same_o sick_a person_n and_o these_o three_o effect_n be_v signify_v by_o the_o oil_n which_o be_v use_v in_o this_o sacrament_n for_o that_o oil_n refresh_v strengthen_v and_o heal_v s_o at_o what_o time_n ought_v this_o sacrament_n to_o be_v receive_v m_o in_o this_o many_o do_v commit_v great_a error_n who_o will_v not_o take_v this_o sacrament_n but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o depart_v this_o life_n for_o the_o true_a time_n to_o take_v it_o be_v when_o the_o physician_n judge_v the_o disease_n to_o be_v dangerous_a for_o when_o humane_a remedy_n seem_v to_o be_v insufficient_a the_o celestial_a remedy_n be_v chief_o to_o beseech_v for_o and_o so_o sometime_o it_o happen_v that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o this_o holy_a oil_n the_o sick_a party_n do_v recover_v health_n therefore_o as_o this_o sacrament_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v demand_v when_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n to_o die_v so_o ought_v it_o not_o to_o be_v defer_v so_o long_o till_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n remain_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o holy_a oil_n be_v not_o give_v to_o those_o that_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o justice_n because_o such_o be_v neither_o sick_a nor_o have_v hope_n of_o life_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n s_o what_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n m_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n in_o whtch_n power_n be_v give_v to_o consecrate_v the_o most_o holy_a eucharist_n and_o to_o minister_v the_o other_o sacrament_n to_o the_o people_n or_o to_o serve_v by_o proper_a offiee_n those_o that_o have_v receive_v such_o power_n and_o it_o be_v call_v order_n because_o there_o be_v many_o degree_n in_o this_o sacrament_n one_o subordinate_a to_o a_o other_o as_o priest_n deacon_n and_o other_o inferior_n but_o of_o these_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o tell_v you_o any_o more_o see_v this_o sacrament_n do_v not_o pertain_v to_o all_o but_o only_o to_o man_n of_o year_n and_o learning_n who_o be_v not_o to_o learn_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n but_o rather_o it_o belong_v to_o they_o to_o teach_v other_o of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o marriage_n s_o what_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o matrimony_n m_o the_o sacrament_n of_o matrimony_n be_v the_o lawful_a join_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o holy_a wedlock_n which_o signify_v and_o represent_v the_o union_n of_o christ_n with_o his_o church_n by_o the_o incarnation_n and_o the_o union_n of_o god_n with_o the_o soul_n by_o grace_n s_o what_o effect_n work_v this_o sacrament_n m_o first_o it_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o husband_n &_o the_o wife_n to_o comport_v themselves_o well_o &_o to_o love_v each_o other_o spiritual_o as_o christ_n love_v his_o church_n and_o as_o god_n love_v a_o faithful_a &_o just_a soul_n second_o it_o confer_v grace_n to_o know_v and_o to_o desire_v to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n three_o it_o produce_v a_o bond_n between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n so_o straight_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v dissolve_v like_v as_o between_o christ_n &_o his_o church_n and_o hereof_o it_o come_v that_o no_o body_n can_v dispense_v that_o the_o husband_n leave_v his_o first_o wife_n &_o take_v a_o other_o neither_o that_o the_o wife_n leave_v she_o first_o husband_n and_o take_v a_o other_o s_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o make_n of_o marriage_n m_o three_o thing_n be_v necessary_a first_o that_o the_o party_n be_v without_o impediment_n to_o be_v join_v together_o that_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o kinsfolk_n within_o the_o four_o degree_n that_o they_o have_v no_o solemn_a vow_n of_o chastity_n nor_o the_o like_a second_o that_o in_o contract_v of_o matrimony_n there_o be_v witness_n and_o that_o in_o particular_a the_o curate_n or_o proper_a pastor_n be_v present_a or_o as_o we_o call_v he_o the_o parish_n priest_n three_o that_o the_o consent_n of_o both_o party_n be_v free_a not_o force_v by_o any_o great_a fear_n &_o that_o it_o be_v express_v by_o word_n or_o some_o equivalent_a sign_n and_o if_o any_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n shall_v be_v want_v the_o marriage_n be_v not_o of_o force_n s_o whether_o be_v it_o better_a to_o take_v the_o sacrament_n of_o matrimony_n or_o to_o keep_v virginity_n m_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n have_v clear_v this_o doubt_n have_v write_v that_o who_o join_v himself_o in_o marriage_n do_v well_o but_o he_o that_o do_v not_o join_v himself_o but_o keep_v virginity_n do_v better_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o marriage_n be_v a_o thing_n humane_a virginity_n be_v angelical_a marriage_n be_v according_a to_o nature_n virginity_n be_v above_o nature_n and_o not_o only_a virginity_n but_o widowhood_n also_o be_v better_a than_o marriage_n therefore_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o a_o parable_n that_o the_o good_a seed_n yield_v in_o one_o field_n thirty_o fold_v fruit_n in_o a_o other_o threescore_o in_o a_o other_o a_o hundred_o fold_n the_o holy_a doctor_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o thirty_o fold_v fruit_n be_v of_o matrimony_n the_o threescore_o fold_n of_o widowhood_n hundred_o fold_n of_o virginity_n cap._n x._o of_o virtue_n in_o general_n you_o have_v declare_v the_o four_o principal_a part_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n else_o to_o learn_v m_o the_o necessary_a thing_n to_o be_v know_v be_v those_o four_o which_o i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o but_o there_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n profitable_a also_o to_o the_o end_n we_o pretend_v of_o obtain_v eternal_a salvation_n to_o wit_n virtue_n and_o vice_n good_a work_n and_o sin_n for_o albeit_o we_o have_v speak_v already_o of_o these_o thing_n in_o general_n in_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o creed_n and_o of_o the_o commandment_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v very_o profitable_a to_o speak_v of_o they_o more_o distinct_o and_o in_o particular_a s_o tell_v i_o then_o what_o be_v virtue_n m_o virtue_n be_v a_o quality_n which_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v a_o man_n good_a for_o as_o science_n make_v a_o man_n a_o good_a philosopher_n and_o art_n make_v one_o a_o good_a artificer_n so_o virtue_n make_v a_o good_a man_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o that_o with_o facility_n readiness_n and_o perfection_n whereas_o he_o that_o have_v not_o virtue_n though_o he_o may_v sometime_o do_v well_o yet_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o without_o difficulty_n and_o imperfection_n whereof_o to_o give_v you_o some_o example_n virtue_n be_v like_a to_o art_n and_o practice_v for_o you_o see_v one_o that_o have_v art_n to_o play_v on_o the_o citerone_n or_o lute_n play_v both_o well_o &_o with_o facility_n although_o he_o never_o look_v upon_o the_o string_n where_o as_o a_o other_o that_o have_v not_o the_o art_n or_o have_v not_o practice_v may_v well_o touch_v the_o string_n and_o make_v they_o sound_o but_o he_o shall_v neither_o do_v it_o ready_o nor_o so_o well_o even_o so_o he_o that_o have_v
