Is it not good for us to be here where if one member do suffer (as it is said unto the Corinthians) all suffer with him. If one member be had in honour / all members be glad also Therefore / while I suffer / I suffer not alone / for Christ and all Christen suffer with me. As he sayeth him self / he that toucheth you toucheth the ball of mine eye. Thus / do other here my burden / and there virtue is mine. The faith of the congregation succoureth my fearfulness. The chastity of other healeth the temptation of my lust. The fasting of other is mine advantage.

I am foul and filthy / but they whom I love and in whom I rejoice are fair and beautiful. By the which love I do not only make their goods mine / but also them selves / wherefore under their glory mine ignominy shall easylie honoured their richesse shall fulfil my poverty. Their good deeds shall heal my since / what man can now despair in sin? who will not rejoice in pains? which now doth not bear his since or at the lest if he bear them / he beareth them not alone / but is helped with so many children of god / yea with Christ him self Such a thing is the communion of holy men / and the Church of Christ. If any man do not believe that this is true he is an infidel / and hath denied Christ & his church: for though this be not felt / yet it is so done / yea who is he that feeleth not this who is in the cause that thou despairest not that thou art not impatient? Thy virtue na truly / but the fellowship of holy men or else thou were not able to bear the lest sin that is / nor yet abide one word of man against the / so nigh is Christ and
