the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o receyve_v a_o inward_a feel_v quicken_a and_o stir_v up_o of_o our_o mind_n that_o whereas_o the_o flesh_n sin_n death_n and_o satan_n do_v seek_v daily_o to_o suppress_v we_o and_o burden_n we_o with_o many_o misery_n &_o infirmity_n and_o lead_v we_o even_o unto_o the_o gate_n of_o desperation_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v certify_v our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v god_n child_n he_o will_v preserve_v we_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v question_n why_o then_o faith_n be_v a_o knowledge_n and_o a_o assurance_n send_v from_o god_n to_o

christian_n question_n what_o benefit_n have_v you_o by_o faith_n answer_n by_o faith_n we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v we_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o righteous_a because_o of_o his_o son_n

by_o faith_n we_o be_v justify_v we_o need_v not_o good_a work_n answer_v fayth_n only_o do_v justify_v but_o this_o word_n only_o do_v not_o exclude_v good_a work_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o perfect_a faith_n unless_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o full_a of_o good_a work_n so_o that_o faith_n and_o the_o work_n proceed_v from_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o diverse_a but_o one_o as_o a_o tree_n and_o his_o twigg_n or_o limb_n be_v but_o all_o a_o tree_n and_o such_o a_o faith_n be_v accept_v and_o know_v to_o god_n and_o yet_o many_o deceyve_v man_n for_o the_o hippocrite_n may_v do_v good_a

we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereof_o faith_n be_v the_o chief_a be_v barren_a but_o fruitful_a question_n then_o by_o your_o comparison_n and_o meaning_n unless_o god_n water_n the_o tree_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v graff_v there_o be_v no_o fruit_n so_o that_o in_o he_o be_v all_o and_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o what_o need_v here_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v require_v in_o we_o answer_n we_o be_v liken_v to_o good_a tree_n not_o too_o bad_a for_o our_o capacity_n not_o for_o a_o captiousnes_n for_o in_o we_o there_o be_v affection_n reason_n and_o will_v which_o be_v not_o in_o tree_n &_o therefore_o we_o shall_v govern_v and_o direct_v ourselves_o according_a unto_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n even_o as_o the_o ship-maister_n come_v with_o
