wherefore_o christ_n by_o these_o word_n geve_v a_o sure_a doctrine_n to_o beware_v by_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o you_o will_v hear_v god_n and_o have_v he_o join_v unto_o you_o you_o

you_o hear_v god_n by_o i_o or_o never_o hear_v he_o whereof_o this_o must_v by_o reason_n follow_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o utter_v the_o bountefull_a word_n the_o hole_n godhead_n do_v allow_v it_o so_o that_o neither_o the_o devyll_n nor_o the_o world_n can_v make_v it_o frustrate_v and_o false_a the_o reason_n be_v this_o christ_n word_n be_v not_o he_o but_o the_o father_n as_o he_o

wherefore_o when_o the_o man_n that_o be_v worldly_a wise_n chance_v upon_o these_o word_n they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v but_o word_n coldlye_o &_o slender_o speak_v &_o that_o in_o great_a and_o

and_o slender_a that_o do_v then_o appear_v when_o great_a peril_n and_o fear_n be_v at_o hand_n wherefore_o christ_n here_o make_v a_o end_n of_o his_o sermon_n and_o say_v these_o thing_n have_v i_o

whatsoever_o he_o do_v or_o suffer_v all_o be_v but_o lose_v labour_n and_o in_o vain_a wherefore_o sing_v that_o our_o lord_n say_v that_o these_o word_n that_o he_o speak_v be_v not_o he_o but_o

be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n
