do_v crake_v much_o of_o god_n they_o pray_v much_o and_o affirm_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god._n but_o the_o matter_n be_v plain_a that_o mahumet_n the_o turk_n the_o

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 must_v turn_v away_o your_o eye_n and_o ear_n in_o no_o case_n from_o he_o but_o hear_v i_o and_o you_o hear_v god_n see_v i_o &_o you_o see_v god_n for_o this_o it_o be_v decree_v either_o must_v 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
