that_o not_o any_o action_n do_v without_o skill_n can_v be_v complete_o good_a yet_o they_o need_v not_o make_v scruple_n of_o what_o be_v pass_v because_o they_o do_v their_o endeavour_n but_o

our_o last_o end_n so_o that_o charity_n be_v all_o in_o all_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o four_o moral_a virtue_n do_v help_v we_o to_o observe_v the_o commandment_n and_o how_o by_o

to_o have_v power_n in_o itself_o to_o move_v or_o stir_v itself_o now_o charity_n be_v that_o which_o move_v we_o to_o walk_v towards_o god_n and_o give_v we_o power_n by_o all_o other_o virtue_n

proper_o in_o the_o act_n themselves_o but_o in_o the_o habit_n whereby_o we_o be_v enable_v to_o produce_v such_o act_n 3._o why_o so_o because_o a_o state_n do_v signify_v a_o permanencie_n whereas_o our_o act_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v do_v remain_v no_o long_o as_o act_v but_o the_o habitude_n or_o virtue_n remain_v still_o within_o us._n 4._o be_v all_o these_o three_o virtue_n necessary_a to_o constitute_v this_o state_n yes_o for_o as_o the_o understanding_n memory_n and_o will_v do_v constitute_v the_o natural_a be_v of_o our_o soul_n so_o do_v these_o three_o virtue_n constitute_v her_o supernatural_a be_v for_o by_o faith_n our_o understanding_n be_v perfect_v by_o hope_n our_o memory_n and_o our_o will_n by_o charity_n yet_o it_o do_v consist_v chief_o in_o charity_n both_o because_o as_o have_v be_v say_v charity_n be_v the_o mistress_n and_o life_n of_o the_o other_o two_o and_o also_o because_o charity_n be_v never_o find_v without_o the_o other_o two_o whereas_o the_o other_o two_o be_v sometime_o without_o charity_n 5._o how_o be_v this_o state_n call_v it_o be_v call_v the_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o same_o virtue_n have_v diverse_a

at_o leastwise_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o not_o it_o from_o they_o 6._o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o state_n first_o because_o it_o exempt_v a_o man_n out_o of_o the_o slavery_n of_o sin_n and_o put_v he_o into_o that_o condition_n of_o spiritual_a freedom_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o god_n his_o

must_v note_v that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o state_n only_o improper_o and_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n because_o immobility_n be_v a_o condition_n requisite_a to_o a_o state_n proper_o speak_v whereas_o these_o virtue_n be_v not_o in_o we_o so_o firm_o but_o that_o we_o lose_v they_o again_o 7._o why_o be_v it_o call_v grace_n because_o when_o it_o be_v first_o give_v to_o we_o it_o be_v bestow_v

whereby_o we_o be_v true_o justify_v and_o cleanse_v from_o sin_n and_o acknowledge_v and_o own_a by_o god_n as_o his_o adoptive_a child_n 9_o why_o be_v it_o call_v habitual_a grace_n because_o as_o a_o habit_n of_o any_o virtue_n do_v beget_v in_o we_o a_o facility_n to_o produce_v act_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n so_o do_v this_o divine_a quality_n enable_v we_o to_o produce_v act_n of_o

only_o upon_o worldly_a thing_n and_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v least_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o the_o most_o neglect_a of_o all_o our_o

a_o mortal_a sin_n make_v the_o sinner_n abominable_a and_o hateful_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o so_o deprive_v he_o of_o god_n his_o grace_n the_o second_o be_v call_v reatus_fw-la

god_n his_o grace_n recover_v 24._o may_v we_o then_o recover_v god_n his_o grace_n though_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a yes_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o never_o forsake_v we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o if_o we_o die_v without_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o recoverable_a in_o the_o next_o lesson_n xxiii_o of_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v to_o abolish_v sin_n and_o to_o recover_v grace_n when_o we_o have_v lose_v it_o they_o be_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o what_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n it_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o sensible_a sign_n which_o have_v virtue_n and_o efficacy_n to_o sanctify_v man_n and_o do_v give_v they_o a_o right_a to_o certain_a special_a help_n of_o grace_n proper_a to_o each_o sacrament_n which_o sign_n represent_v in_o some_o sort_n the_o special_a effect_n of_o that_o grace_n when_o rewith_o almighty_a god_n invisible_o imbu_v our_o soul_n when_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n 3._o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o sacrament_n and_o sacramentall_n sacrament_n differ_v from_o sacramentall_n because_o they_o be_v the_o main_a instrument_n of_o grace_n and_o can_v be_v institute_v by_o any_o but_o by_o christ_n himself_o whereas_o sacramentall_n be_v institute_v by_o the_o church_n and_o be_v only_o make_v by_o certain_a blessing_n as_o holy_a water_n and_o the_o like_a which_o though_o they_o be_v bless_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o produce_v infallible_o the_o effect_n for_o which_o they_o be_v bless_v 4._o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o now_o law_n the_o council_n of_o florence_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v only_a figure_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n passion_n but_o they_o do_v not_o cause_n grace_n whereas_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o same_o council_n do_v both_o contain_v grace_n and_o also_o cause_v it_o in_o those_o who_o receive_v they_o worthy_o wherefore_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o as_o god_n allmighty_n bring_v the_o jew_n to_o love_v he_o by_o temporal_a promise_n and_o reward_n that_o he_o may_v afterward_o give_v they_o celestial_a one_o so_o their_o sacrament_n make_v they_o capable_a only_o of_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o circumcision_n make_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v one_o who_o have_v part_n in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n their_o purification_n make_v he_o to_o be_v one_o who_o may_v offer_v sacrifice_n and_o be_v hear_v for_o obtain_v of_o child_n peace_n long_a life_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o cleanse_v the_o body_n not_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v empty_a and_o poor_a element_n whereas_o the_o new_a law_n do_v bring_v we_o to_o love_v and_o serve_v god_n by_o the_o immediate_a promise_n of_o supernatural_a reward_n and_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christian_n if_o they_o be_v worthy_o receive_v do_v give_v the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o these_o corporal_a promise_n do_v signify_v that_o be_v celestial_a good_n as_o baptism_n make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v one_o who_o share_n be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n 5._o how_o many_o sacrament_n be_v there_o there_o be_v seven_o baptism_n confirmation_n holy_a euchariste_n pennance_n extreme_a unction_n order_n and_o matrimony_n 6._o but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o these_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o it_o be_v not_o where_o put_v down_o in_o scripture_n express_o that_o the_o number_n of_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v seven_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o also_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v only_o two_o sacrament_n baptism_n and_o euchariste_n and_o no_o more_o or_o that_o these_o very_a two_o be_v sacrament_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n doubt_v of_o they_o wherefore_o as_o we_o gather_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o these_o two_o be_v sacrament_n because_o they_o have_v all_o thing_n essential_a to_o a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v that_o they_o confer_v grace_n by_o a_o outward_a sensible_a sign_n so_o do_v we_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n sinde_v in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v seven_o sacrament_n neither_o more_o nor_o few_o beside_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o same_o by_o tradition_n which_o be_v the_o main_a ground_n of_o christian_a religion_n moreover_o do_v not_o the_o protestant_n admit_v that_o there_o be_v twelve_o principal_a article_n of_o our_o belief_n to_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v reduce_v and_o yet_o where_o do_v they_o find_v this_o number_n express_o in_o scripture_n 7._o be_v none_o of_o these_o seven_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o man_n but_o all_o by_o christ_n himself_o no_o not_o any_o one_o of_o they_o for_o as_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o sole_a fountain_n of_o all_o justice_n grace_n and_o purity_n so_o he_o have_v think_v good_a not_o to_o communicate_v to_o any_o but_o to_o reserve_v unto_o his_o only_a son_n the_o power_n to_o ordain_v sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a instrument_n that_o produce_v grace_n and_o purify_v we_o from_o sin_n 8._o why_o do_v he_o institute_v they_o in_o the_o number_n of_o seven_o because_o our_o spiritual_a life_n be_v proportion_v to_o our_o corporal_a now_o in_o our_o corporal_a life_n these_o thing_n be_v require_v first_o to_o be_v bear_v that_o be_v to_o begin_v
christian_n unto_o they_o ought_v in_o affection_n of_o mind_n to_o embrace_v they_o in_o their_o full_a latitude_n by_o withdraw_v their_o heart_n from_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o state_n of_o
