ought_v to_o succour_v the_o want_n of_o our_o brethren_n namely_o because_o for_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o common_a and_o mutual_a consideration_n i_o have_v not_o translate_v

they_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n hereby_o may_v appear_v how_o serious_o he_o discern_v faith_n from_o the_o sacrament_n not_o only_o lest_o any_o shall_v content_v himself_o with_o this_o without_o the_o other_o mean_v with_o the_o sacrament_n without_o faith_n as_o though_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o justification_n but_o also_o that_o the_o same_o faith_n only_o may_v

before_o with_o also_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v note_v because_o if_o faith_n borrow_v nothing_o of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o may_v justify_v thence_o we_o understande_v it_o have_v rsepect_v unto_o

enjoy_v perfect_a peace_n when_o they_o feel_v that_o to_o be_v free_o give_v they_o which_o be_v not_o due_a unto_o they_o by_o right_a jew_n salvation_n in_o christ_n appertain_v no_o less_o unto_o the_o gentiles_n then_o unto_o the_o jew_n hereupon_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o benefit_n be_v no_o less_o common_a to_o the_o gentile_n then_o to_o the_o jew_n the_o cause_n of_o which_o benefit_n do_v equal_o appertain_v unto_o both_o for_o if_o man_n salvation_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n they_o restrain_v and_o hynder_n the_o course_n thereof_o as_o
