As it is well described unto the Corinthians .xij. And a swell I may delight in the goods of other as in mine own / and then ⟨image 87⟩truly they are mine if I be glad and rejoice in them.

By the which love I do not only make their goods mine / but also them selves / wherefore under their glory mine ignominy shall easyli•e 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 ⟨image 87⟩the church unto thee.
