they_o they_o belike_o god_n have_v they_o if_o he_o have_v then_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v then_o have_v bestow_v they_o as_o well_o as_o man_n do_v in_o these_o day_n whereof_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o faithful_a that_o live_v before_o jesus_n christ_n may_v by_o prayer_n and_o sacrifice_n have_v entreat_v god_n to_o employ_v those_o mean_n which_o since_o he_o have_v commit_v into_o

this_o difficulty_n still_o remain_v unresolved_a the_o second_o principle_n be_v that_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v commit_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o church_n to_o apply_v they_o 2.6_o 1._o tim._n 2.6_o a_o doctrine_n as_o far_o repugnant_a from_o the_o gospel_n as_o help_v to_o the_o pope_n commodity_n for_o by_o the_o scripture_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o jesus_n christ_n

of_o such_o importance_n which_o concern_v the_o participation_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o speak_v without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n again_o what_o
