by_o which_o we_o believe_v the_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v unto_o we_o and_o this_o make_v we_o to_o remark_n a_o distinction_n which_o we_o must_v observe_v as_o well_o in_o this_o

concern_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n they_o require_v a_o application_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o practise_v they_o as_o we_o ought_v that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o necessary_a knowledge_n and_o the_o constancy_n which_o be_v fit_a whereof_o we_o be_v about_o to_o treat_v article_n ii_o that_o to_o communicate_v well_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o have_v faith_n but_o we_o must_v

of_o these_o three_o virtue_n of_o faith_n of_o hope_n and_o of_o charity_n the_o reason_n be_v very_o obvious_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o sacrament_n work_v their_o effect_n
