Therefore the first comfortable image •s / to say unto him self. O thou man yet thou feelest not thine evil / be glad & give th•nkes that thou act not compelled to feel […] so thine evil in comparison of that g•••t evil is but light and easy / & that it is t••t some say, I have deserved much wors••e hell / which is soon said / but it is intolerable to felt. And this evil / though it server so hid and secret / yet he bringeth forth his fruit sensibly / which is fear••• & wavering of the fearful consciences / by ••e which faith is fore besieged and assa•••ed while that man doubteth and is uncertain whether god be merciful unto him or not and the weaker this fruit is / the more ••tter is this fruit.

Therfore the fyrst cōfortable ymage •s / to say vnto hym self. O thou man yet thou fealest not thyne euyll / be glad & gyue th•nkes that thou act not cōpelled to feale 〈…〉 so thyne euyll in comparyson of that g•••t euyll is but lyght and easy / & that it is t••t some say, I haue deserued moche wors••e helle / whiche is sone sayd / but it is into•erable to felt. And this euell / though it •e•ruer so hydde and secret / yet he bryng••h forth his frute sensibly / whiche is fear••• & wauering of the fearfull cōsciences / by ••e whiche faythe is fore beseged and assa•••ed whyle that man douteth and is vncertn whether god be mercyful vnto hym or not and the weaker this frute is / the more tter is this frute.
