goods, if otherwise thou mightest not make satisfaction? He ought to answer: Yea.
Believest thou that our Lord Jesu Christ be dead for thee; and that otherwise thou mightest not be saved, but by the merit of His precious passion; and thankest Him therefore with all thy heart? Answer: Yea.
In truth whosomever shall mowe[1] affirmatively to answer these askings beforcsaid, with good conscience and very faith without feigning, he shall have evident sign and argument of health; and (that) he shall be of the number of them that thall be saved, if he die in this point.[2]
And if there be none to demand him he ought to return to himself and to demand himself, in considering the most subtly that he shall con mowe be able to have power to. if he be disposed like as is said; for without this disposition may no man by any manner be saved. And whomsoever shall feel himself thus well disposed, he ought to commend him all to the passion of our Lord Jesu Christ; and to put himself all in remembrance and in meditation of the same, as he shall mowe, and that as his infirmity shall suffer him. And by this moyen be surmounted and overcome all the temptations of the devil, and his right subtle awaits and fallacies.[3]
