etc._n etc._n i_o say_v this_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o touch_v his_o ascension_n it_o follow_v necessary_o to_o be_v conclude_v upon_o his_o resurrection_n it_o need_v no_o other_o proof_n for_o that_o whosoever_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o jesus_n be_v dead_a can_v raise_v himself_o to_o life_n again_o will_v easy_o believe_v also_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o hereof_o we_o have_v also_o all_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n for_o witness_n eye_n witness_n in_o who_o presence_n and_o sight_n he_o ascend_v as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o place_n 1.10_o they_o look_v steadfast_o towards_o heaven_n as_o he_o go_v and_o in_o witness_n thereof_o give_v up_o their_o life_n and_o seal_v the_o same_o with_o their_o blood_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v upon_o all_o these_o premise_n so_o necessary_o follow_v and_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o to_o wit_v his_o birth_n life_n doctrine_n action_n death_n resurrection_n

concerning_o the_o messiah_n which_o be_v not_o fulfil_v most_o exact_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n we_o may_v most_o certain_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o as_o god_n be_v truth_n and_o
