the_o honour_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o pro_fw-la mise_n and_o knoweledge_v god_n to_o be_v very_o true_a for_o god_n although_o he_o have_v promise_v many_o other_o thing_n as_o well_o bodilye_o

have_v the_o holy_a gooste_n which_o lead_v he_o into_o all_o kynde_n of_o virtue_n and_o good_a do_n for_o although_o faith_n so_o far_o forth_o justifi_v not_o a_o man_n before_o god_n as_o be_v

wherefore_o fay_v in_o christ_n for_o this_o cause_n also_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a worshyp_a of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v the_o beginning_n and_o commendation_n of_o all_o good_a work_n and_o
