this_o sweet_a gospel_n and_o trewe_o unbelefe_n can_v be_v overcome_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n receive_v but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o this_o preach_v christ_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o

shall_v thou_o not_o suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v of_o this_o name_n sing_v that_o christ_n with_o plain_a word_n say_v that_o god_n give_v not_o his_o son_n only_o for_o mary_n peter_n or_o paul_n but_o for_o the_o world_n that_o all_o shall_v receive_v he_o that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n then_o if_o thou_o or_o i_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o as_o though_o he_o do_v not_o appertain_v unto_o we_o true_o it_o will_v consequent_o follow_v that_o christ_n word_n be_v not_o true_a where_o as_o he_o say_v he_o be_v give_v and_o deliver_v for_o the_o world_n wherefore_o hereof_o appear_v that_o the_o contarye_a thereto_o be_v most_o assure_o true_a that_o be_v that_o this_o gift_n belong_v as_o well_o unto_o thou_o as_z to_z peter_z and_o paul_n forasmuch_o as_o thou_o also_o be_v a_o

of_o his_o promise_n wherefore_o whenne_v this_o think_v come_v upon_o thou_o suspect_v it_o as_o thou_o will_v suspect_v the_o devyl_n lest_o thou_o be_v therewith_o deceive_v and_o say_v thou_o what_o be_v that_o to_o i_o that_o i_o be_o neither_o peter_n nor_o paul_n if_o god_n will_v have_v give_v this_o gift_n to_o they_o only_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v find_v worthy_a he_o will_v have_v give_v it_o to_o the_o angel_n to_o the_o son_n and_o unto_o the_o moon_n for_o they_o be_v pure_a and_o undefyled_a creature_n which_o always_o obey_v god_n and_o never_o do_v decline_v and_o

wherefore_o although_o i_o be_o neither_o peter_n nor_o paul_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v put_v beside_o this_o gift_n but_o will_v challenge_v as_o much_o thereof_o for_o my_o

word_n will_v not_o receyve_v it_o yet_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v well_o he_o shall_v perceive_v that_o baptism_n and_o also_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v
