as_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o be_v require_v to_o the_o attain_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n it_o be_v very_o evident_a and_o plain_a by_o scripture_n as_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v be_v penitent_a and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n i._n marc_n i._n that_o be_v to_o say_v first_o be_v contrite_a and_o knowledge_n your_o sin_n &_o than_o receive_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o saint_n john_n baptist_n preach_v penance_n and_o make_v a_o way_n unto_o christ_n and_o teach_v man_n which_o come_v unto_o he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o come_v unto_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o he_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o third_o chapter_n of_o luke_n and_o special_o that_o they_o which_o be_v once_o christen_v and_o afterward_o fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o mortal_a sin_v can_v not_o recover_v their_o justification_n without_o penance_n it_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n peter_n unto_o simon_n magus_n where_o he_o say_v seven_o act._n seven_o do_v penance_n for_o this_o thy_o wyckendnes_n and_o pray_v god_n if_o peradventure_o this_o thought_n of_o thy_o

teach_v first_o to_o leave_v sin_n and_o to_o return_v by_o work_n of_o penance_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o than_o they_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n and_o although_o such_o work_n of_o penance_n be_v require_v in_o we_o towards_o the_o attain_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n yet_o the_o same_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o

work_n of_o penance_n be_v prepare_v and_o make_v more_o apt_a to_o receive_v further_a grace_n of_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o justification_n and_o it_o be_v not_o inconvenient_a that_o such_o thing_n shall_v through_o grace_n be_v do_v by_o we_o first_o and_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o we_o receyve_v the_o say_a gift_n free_o for_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n qui_fw-la sitit_fw-la veniat_fw-la xxii_o apo._n xxii_o &_o qui_fw-la vult_fw-la accipiat_fw-la aquam_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la gratis_o he_o that_o be_v thirsty_a let_v he_o come_v
