howe ye maye contynually abyde and growe in Christ the whiche thing is taught you in the vse of the Lordes supper Ye shall therefore dilygentlye learne the wordes by the whiche oure Lorde Iesus Christ did institute and ordeyne his supper that ye maye repet them word for worde and so prynt thē in your memoryes that you may beare them away with you home to youre fathers houses and there oftentymes reherse them And these be the wordes of oure sauioure Christe Our Lorde Iesus Christ the same nyghte that he was betrayed toke bread gyuyng thākes brake it gaue it to hys disciples saide Take eate this is my bodye whiche is gyuen for you Do this in remembraunce of me Lykewyse he toke the cuppe also after he had supped giuyng thankes gaue it to them and sayd Drynke of this al ye This is my bloude of the new testamente whiche is shed for you for many for the forgyuenes of synnes Do this as often as ye drynke in remembraunce of me Nowe ye shall dilygentlye laboure not onely to say without boke these wordes of our sauiour Christe but also to vnderstande what oure Lorde Iesus Christe mente by the same that ye maye make answer when ye be asked any question herein and that also in tyme to come ye may be able to teache your children as ye youre selfes are now instructed For what greater dishonestye can ther be eyther in the sighte of God or man then to professe youre selues to be Christian people and to receaue the sacramētes yet not to know what Christes sacramētes be wherfore they wer ordeyned For saint Paul sayth y t he whiche eateth and drynketh the supper of the Lorde vnworthely doth eate and drynke his awne damnation Nowe therfore good children that ye may truely vnderstāde the wordes of the lordes holy supper and that ye receyue not this sacramente to youre owne damnation learne here dylygentlye that the true vnderstandyng and vse of y e Lordes supper standeth in two thynges The fyrste is to do that whiche our lord himself hath commaunded The seconde is to beleue y t which he hath promysed Of these two I wil speake in order wherto I pray you gyue good eare First our sauiour Christ taketh breade in his hand he giueth thākes he breaketh it and gyueth it to his dysciples and sayeth Take eate Lykewyse he taketh the cup and sayeth Take drynke Wherfore we ought to obey those wordes to do that which our Lord commaundeth vs. For although Christ prescribeth no certen tyme when we ought to come together to his supper althoughe also he appoynte no certen noumber of dayes howe often in the yeare we ought to receaue this supper yet this is his holy godly wyl that at some tyme we shoulde receaue this sacrament And this to do is for oure great commoditie profite for elles our Lorde wolde not haue commaunded vs so to do who knoweth better thē we what helpe and comforte we haue nede of Wherfore if we wil be christes trew disciples then we must do as he himselfe commaundeth his discyples to do Let vs therefore go to this godly supper let vs eate drinke therof let vs not absteine frō the same w tout a great cause Secondarily Christ saieth of the breade this is my bodye and of y e cuppe he sayeth this is my bloud Wherefore we ought to beleue y t in the sacrament we receyue trewly the bodye and bloud of Christ. For God is almyghtye as ye hearde in the Crede He is able therefore to do all thynges what he wil. And as saint Paul writeth he calleth those thinges whiche be not as yf they were Wherefore when Christe taketh breade and saieth Take eate this is my body we ought not to doute but we eat his veray bodye And when he taketh the cuppe and sayeth Take drynke this is my blod we ought to thynke assuredly y t we drynke his veray blode And this we must beleue yf we wil be counted Christē mē And wher as in this perellous tyme certayne deceitful persons be founde in manye places who of very frowardnes wil not graunt that there is the body and bloude of Christe but denye the same for none other cause but that they cannot cōpasse by mans blynde reason howe this thinge shoulde be broughte to passe ye good children shall with all dilygence beware of suche persons that ye suffer not your selues to be deceaued by them For suche men surely are not trew Christyans nether as yet haue thei lerned the first article of y e Crede whych teacheth that God is almightye whiche ye good children haue alredy perfectely lerned Wherfore eschewe such erroneous opinions and beleue the wordes of our lord Iesus that you eate and drynke his veray body blode although mans reason can not comprehend how and after what maner y e same is ther present For the wysedome of reason must be subdued to the obedience of Christ as the apostle Paule teacheth Thirdly he sayeth that his body was gyuē to death for vs that his blod was shed for vs. Wherfore we muste beleue and confesse this thing that all we are conceaued and borne in syn as we haue learned in the ten commaundemētes and chiefely in the two last We are therefore by nature the childrē of gods wrath shoulde be damned for euer yf Christ had not redemed vs by his holy passiō For he was made mā for vs and dyd all thinges for vs whiche we were bound to do and coulde not do that is to saye he fulfylled the lawe for vs and toke vpon hym all that crosse whiche we moste rightuously had deserued for our iniquities and offenses and he shed his bloude for vs that oure synnes might be forgyuen vs. All these thinges we oughte stedfastly to beleue Wherfore they be in a great errore whiche wyll make satisfaction for their synnes with fastyng prayer almes dedes and suche lyke good workes For althoughe we are boūde to do these good workes yet they be not a sufficient price raunsome or satisfaction for oure synnes but onely the death and bloude of our sauyoure Christ was a sufficient and worthy sacrifice to take away our synnes and to obteyne for vs forgyuenes of oure offenses as it is written in the seconde chapter of saincte Iohn his firste epystle Christ is that sacryfice that pacyfyeth Gods dyspleasure obteyneth pardon for oure synnes and not for our synnes onely but also for the synnes of all the worlde Fourthly Christ sayeth do this in the remembraunce of me Here also it is oure dutye to obey the worde of Christ and to do y t thing which he hath cōmaūded vs to do Wherefore good children doubt not but ther is the bodye bloud of our Lorde which we receaue in the lordes supper For he hath sayed so and by the power of his worde hath caused it so to be Wherefore seyng Christ saieth do this as
and make holy all those that beleue the gospell For he that beleueth in Iesus Christe that he is oure Lorde and oure redemer to him God gyueth the holy gost to make him holye and ryghtuouse As sayncte Paule witnesseth saiyng No man can cal Iesus lord but by the holy goste And for asmuch as now it hath ben plainelie declared vnto you after what sorte and manner the holy gooste doth sanctifie vs it is your part not onely to emprynt this lesson diligently in youre myndes but also to desier God with continuall and earnest prayers that he wyll vouchesafe more and more to sanctifie you And as muche as lyeth in you apply your selfes to heare godly sermons and gyue youre hartes to God lyke waxe apte and mete to receyue what thyng so euer it shal please him to prynt in you For he that is wyllynge and glad to lysten to godly sermons he that is studyous to learne the word of god wherin christ is preached w t a stedfast faith cleueth to y e promise of y e gospel ▪ he is made partaker of this Sāctificatiō and holynesse and of this so great comforte and euerlastyng saluation For God sayeth by his prophet Esaye My worde shall not returne to me in vayne And saynct Paule sayeth that the gospell is the power of God where wyth he wourketh the saluation of all them that beleue Nowe the rest that folowethe in the Crede is a shorte declaration of these thynges before rehersed For it foloweth in the Crede I beleue the holy catholycke churche that is to saye all godly and Christē men must beleue that the gospel or doctryne of goddes grace thorowe the merites of oure sauiour Iesus Christ is neuer in vayne published in the worlde or sowed abrode without fruit but euer there is founde some companye of men or some congregacion of good people whiche beleue the gospel and be saued And this cōpanie of men whiche beleueth the gospell although here vpō earth thei be seuered in sōdry places yet are they called one holy catholike or vniuersal churche of Christe that is to saie a multitude cōgregation or companye of Christen people For this worde churche doth not here betoken a temple or churche buylded of tymber and stone but it signifieth a companye of men lyghtened with the spirite of Christe whiche do receaue the gospel and come together to heare gods wourde and to praye And this Christē churche is a cōmunyon of sainctes that is to saye all that be of this cōmunion or cōpany be holy be one holy body vnder Christe their heed they be one holy congregation or assemble And this congregation receaueth of their hedde and Lorde Iesus Christe all spirituall riches and gyftes that perteyneth to the sanctification and making holy of the same bodye And these gostly treasuers be commen to y e hole body and to euery membre of the same For he that is vnfainedly a faythfull and Godly man is made partaker of these benefites And these are the sayde gyftes which be commē to y e hole church of Christ and to euery membre of the same The first is that God the father that euerlastīg and endles maiestye is our most gentle mercyful father That God y e sonne is our redemer and mediatour betwene the father and vs. And that God the holy gost is y e commen sanctifier or halower of all theim y t haue a true faithe in God The second is the preaching of y e gospel thadministration of baptisme and the sacrament of the bodye and bloude of our Lorde Iesus Christ by the whiche we are made partakers of all the inheritaunce of heauē of all the benefites of Christe The third is prayer The fourth is the crosse of affliction and aduersitie whiche God sendeth to all godly men to make theim to knowe him to proue therby trye their faith to mortifye their fleshe to make clene the corruption of the same And here I speake onely of the crosse which good men suffre For thafflictions of the vnfaithful and vngodly do rather hurt them then make them holy For inasmuch as their vnpatientnes is encreaced by such aduersitie thei be brought to more disperatiō and damnatiō Nowe it is very good for you to knowe these thinges that you may also knowe that there is nothyng in heauē or erthe better for vs thā is the true knowlege of God and that these excellent gyftes and benefites cannot be had but onely in the foresayde churche or cōgregatiō and no where els But whan the true churche which is ruled by the holy gost the worde of God dothe promyse vs these so great riches and benefites we ought not to doute but that we haue alredye receaued them And when y e churche doth happoint and ordeine vs to be preachers and ministers of these most pretiouse treasures we must stedfastly beleue that God effectuously worketh with vs that he is present with vs and that he at all tymes doth strengthen vs agaynst the worlde and the deuyll and that he doth helpe vs to do all thynges accordyng to our callyng prosperously and with good successe Secondly we must beleue the remission of synnes Therfore next vnto this article I beleue the holy catholique churche the communion of saintes is added y e forgeuenes of synnes For where so euer the churche of Christ is there is frely offred that eternall comfort aboue all measure that is to say the fauore of God and remission of synnes And without that churche is no remission of synne Wherefore we must seke remission of synnes in the churche of Christ and desier absolution That when y e true churche by their ministers doth promyse vs remissyon of our synnes and here in erthe dothe absolue vs we may surely trust that in heauē also before God we be absolued pardoned Thirdly We must beleue the resurrection of the fleshe wherefore after tharticle of the remission of synne foloweth next this article I beleue the rysing agayne of y e fleshe for among other ponyshmentes for originall syn layd vpon Adam his posterity we daily see this horrible paine that the goodly beawtiful bodye of man created to immortalitie must nedes ones be dissolued by deathe and brought to a filthye and stinckyng corse and graue that the tyranny of synne whiche so long as we liue rageth in our fleshe by our deathe may ceasse haue an ende as saint Paule saith vnto the Romanes For by deathe of the body cease all the desires concupiscences and rages of y e mynde whiche be against the wil and commaundementes of God There ceassith also all synnes against our neighbours as Ire enuie lechery couetuousnes pride and all ill affectyons and at the last day god shall rayse vs agayne frō death so that such infirmities and synnes shall no more be founde in vs but we shal be pure spiritual and immortal and lyke to the bright clere bodye of Christ. And that we
what our Lord Iesus Christ ment by them that when you shall be asked any question herein you maye make a dyrect answere and that also in tyme to come you maye be able to instruct your children in the same For what greater shame can ther be eyther in the sight of God or of man then to professe thi selfe to be a Christen mā yet to be ignorāt in what place of scripture and by what wordes Christ commaūded faith and forgyuenes of synnes to be preached Seing y t a Christē man ought to beleue nothyng as an article of his faith except he be assured that eyther it is gods cōmaundement or his worde Now good children that you maye the better vnderstande these wordes of our sauiour Christe you shall knowe y t our Lorde Iesus Christ whē he beganne to preache he ded cal and chose his twelue Apostils and afterwarde besydes those twelue he sent forth thre score and tenne dysciples and gaue thē authoritie to preach the gospel And a litle before his death and passiō he made his prayer to his heuenly father for theim for all those that shoulde beleue thorow their preaching As it is declared in the gospel of sainct Iohn Now it is not to be doubted but y t Christes praier was heard of his heauenly father wherefore it foloweth that as mani as beleued the preaching of Christes discyples were as surely saued as yf they had heard and beleued Christ hymselfe And after Christes assention the Apostelles gaue authoritie to other godly and holye men to minyster gods worde and chiefely in those places wher ther wer Christen mē alredy whiche lacked preachers and the Apostles theim selues could not longer abide with them For the Apostles dyd walke abrod into diuerse partes of the worlde and did studye to plant the gospel in many places Wherefore wher they founde godly men and mete to preache gods worde they layed their handes vpō them and gaue them the holy gost as they theimselues receaued of Christ the same holy gost to execute this office And they that were so ordeyned were in dede and also were called the ministers of God as the Apostles theimselues were as Paule sayeth vnto Tymothy And so the ministratiō of gods worde which our Lorde Iesus Christ hymselfe dyd first institute was deryued from the Apostles vnto other after theim by imposition of hādes and gyuynge the holy ghost from the Apostles tyme to our dayes And this was the consecration ordres vnction of the Apostles wherby they at the begynnynge made Byshopes and pryestes and this shall continewe in y e churche euen to the worldes ende And what soeuer rite or ceremonye hath ben added more than this commeth of mannes ordinaunce and policye and is not commaūded by goddes worde Wherefore good children you shal gyue due reuerence honour to the ministers of y e churche and shal not meanely or lyghtly esteme them in the executiō of their office but you shall take them for gods ministers and the messengers of our Lorde Iesus Christe For Christ himselfe saieth in y e gospel He that heareth you heareth me And he y t dyspiseth you dyspiseth me wherefore good children you shal stedfastly beleue al those thinges whiche suche ministers shall speake vnto you from the mouth and by the commaūdement of our Lorde Iesus Christ. And what soeuer they do to you as when they baptyse you when they gyue you absolution and dystribute to you the bodye and bloude of our Lord Iesus Christe these you shall so esteme as yf Christe hymselfe in his awne person dyd speake and minister vnto you For Christe hath commaunded his ministers to do this vnto you and he hymselfe althoughe you see him not with your bodily eyes is present with his ministers and worketh by the holy ghost in thadministration of his sacramentes And on the other syde you shall take good hede beware of false and priuye preachers whiche pryuely crepe into cities and preache in corners hauyng none authoritie nor being called to this office For Christe is not present with such prechers ▪ and therefore dothe not the holy gost worke by their preching but their worde is withoute fruite or profyt and they do great hurte in commen welthes For suche as be not called of God they no doubte of it do erre and sow abrode heresye and naughty doctrine And yet you shal not thinke good childrē that preachers whiche be lawfully called haue authoritie to do or teache what soeuer shal please thē But our Lord Iesus Christ hath gyuen them playne instructions what they ought to teache and do And yf thei teache or do any other thynge then is conteyned in their commission then it is of no force nor we ought not to regarde it And for this cause our sauioure Christ dyd breath into hys discyples and gaue them the holy gost For where the holy gost is ther he so worketh that he causeth vs to do those thynges whiche Christe hath commaunded And whā that is not done than the holy ghost is not there Wherefore all thynges whiche we shall so speake or do can take none effecte Now the summe of the commission whiche Christ gaue to his dysciples was this that they shoulde preache repentaunce and forgyuenes of synne in his name And he added therto bothe a promise a threatnyng saying He that wil beleue and be baptised shalbe saued But he that wil not beleue shall be damned Wherfore all thinges whiche the ministers of y e churche do saye or do to vs ought to be directed to this ende y t they maye lowse vs and declare vnto vs the forgyuenes of our synnes whē we truly repent and beleue in Christ. But when we do not repent vs of our synne and forsake the same or do not beleue the gospel then they ought to bind or reserue sinne and to declare vnto vs that yf we styl continew in sinne we shal be dampned for euer And when the minysters do thus execute their cōmission then they obey God whose synnes soeuer they forgyue in earth their synnes be forgyuen in heauen also And contrarye wyse whome soeuer they binde in earth their sinnes be boūde also in heauē But yf the ministers wolde interprise to do contrary to their cōmission that is to say to forgyue synnes to vnrepentaunte synners and vnbeleuers or to bynde their synnes and denye theim absolution that be repentaunte and truste in the mercye of God then they shoulde not do wel nor their acte shoulde be of any force but they shoulde deceaue themselues and other also And than shoulde that be true that Christ speaketh in the gospell When the blynde leadeth the blinde both fall into the diche But when the ministers do trulye execute their office you oughte good children to take great comforte and to confirme your faithe therby that you maye stedfastlye beleue and in all temptations answere your aduersarye the deuell after this maner God hathe
often as ye do it in remēbraunce of me it is euident herby that Christe causeth euen at thys tyme his bodye and bloude to be in the sacrament after that maner and fashion as it was at that tyme when he made his maundye with his disciples For elles we coulde not do that thyng whiche his disciples dyd But Christ hath commaunded vs to do the selfe same thing that his disciples dyd and to do it in the remembraunce of him that is to saye to receaue his bodye and bloude euen so as he himselfe did gyue it to his dysciples And let not the foulyshe talke of vnbeleuers moue you who are wont to aske this question Howe can the pryest or minister make the bodie and bloude of Christ To the whiche I answer that the minister doth not this of himself But Christ himselfe doth gyue vnto vs his fleshe blode as his wordes dothe euydētly declare Nether let their argumētes or reasons perswade you whiche say y t the sacramēt ought not to be receaued vnder both kyndes but vndre one kynde only For Christ gaue to his disciples both kindes and hath bydde vs that we also shoulde do the same And when he gaue the cuppe to his dysciples he added therto this commaundemēt in these expresse plaine wordes saying Drinke ye al of this Now we ought to obey god more then men We ought therefore to receaue the sacrament vnder both kyndes as Christe commaunded vs. And regarde not the gageling of theim that speake againste the vse of the sacramētes vnder both kyndes sayinge It maketh no great matier whether ye receaue it vndre both kyndes or one alone y t it perteineth not to saluation to receiue it vnder both kindes But what shal I dispute long in this matier Take this for a cōclusion that it is only laudable good to do that thinge whiche Christ hathe commaunded and not to swarue from the same So we ought to receaue this blessed sacrament in the remembraunce of Christ as saint Paule saieth that is to saye we ought to preache his death vntil he come againe For he wil suerely come againe and iudge bothe the quicke and y e deade as ye haue lerned in your Crede In the meane season we ought to remembre and preach his death that he hath redemed vs with his death and sheding of his most precious bloude purchased for vs forgyuenes of oure synnes And this we ought euer to haue in oure remembraunce that in no wyse we forget this his exceding great benefyte and that we seke not for remyssion of synnes by any other wayes or meanes then by fayth in Christe Nowe when we preache the death of the Lord and shewe that he hathe redemed vs thereby we ought also to call this to our remembraunce that he dyed not for vs onely but for all men that beleue in him And forasmuche as Christe loued al men so entierely that he dyed for theym we ought for Christes sake to loue our neyghbours for whom Christe hathe dyed For Christ sayeth All men shall knowe by thys token that ye be my disciples if one of you loue another And this is it that saincte Paule sayeth All we that be pertakers of one breade are one bodye and one breade As often therefore good children as you shal come to the Lordes table whiche ye shall vse to do when ye shall come to further yeares of discretion you shal seke the comforte of your consciences and do as sainct Paule saieth in these wordes Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eat of the breade and drynke of the cuppe For he that eateth or drinketh vnworthely eateth and drinketh his awne damnation because he maketh no dyfference of the Lordes bodye And when ye shal haue examined your selues ye shal fynde that ye are synners and that ye haue nede that Christ should giue his bodye for you and shede hys bloude for you And this to do is truly to examine and trye youre selues For sainct Paule saieth Yf we wold iudge our selues we should not be iudged of the Lord. But when we are iudged of the Lorde we are chasticed that we should not be dampned with the worlde For him that doth not acknowlege his faute God doeth iudge and chastice with dyuerse afflictions that at the length he maye cause him therby to confesse his fautes and repent him that his synnes may be forgyuen him Ye shal also examine yourselues whether ye be able to do y t Christ commaundeth and to beleue that Christ saith Furthermore ye shal make an inquirie in your conscyences whether you be gladde in youre harte to forgyue youre neyghboure his offences against you and to loue him hartely and vnfaynedly for Christes sake For when ye do thus then ye worthely receaue the body and bloud of Christ. And he that so receaueth it receaueth euerlastyng lyfe For he doth not only with his bodyly mouthe receaue the bodye and bloude of Christ but he doth also beleue the wordes of Christ wherby he is assured that Christes bodye was gyuen to death for vs that his bloude was shed for vs. And he y t this beleueth eateth and drynketh the bodye and bloude of Christ spiritually Of this Christ speaketh when he sayeth He that eateth my fleshe and drynketh my bloud abydeth in me and I in him And when we be planted in Christ then we maye come to this holy supper as often as we wyll that by this gostlye fode we may dayly more and more waxe stronger in our faith that Christe was gyuen to be the raunsome for our synnes and that he dwelleth in vs and we in him For seyng that we are planted in Christ by baptisme and are bound to grow and increase in him and to be made lyke vnto him it is not conueniēt that we shoulde onely haue a waueryng opinion that we dwell in Christe and growe in faith charitie but we muste haue a sure worde and worke of God to the whiche we maye leane in all temptations therby be assured that we do spiritually growe and increase in Christe And this worde and worke of God is set before our eyes in the Lordes supper For seyng oure sauioure Christ doth gyue vs his bodye to be oure meate and his bloude to be our drynke and thereby doth declare that he wil effectually dwel in vs strengthen and preserue vs to euerlastyng lyfe we may stedfastly beleue that Christ doth worke in vs and that he wil giue vs gostly strength and stedfastnes that we lyke grene braunches maye continew in the vyne and so be full of sappe and bryng forth good fruit And this is the meanynge and playne vnderstandynge of the wordes of the Lordes supper Wherefore learne them dilygently I pray you y t when ye be asked what is y e Cōmuniō or the lordes supper ye maye answer It is the trew body and true bloude of our Lorde Iesus Christe whiche was ordeyned by Christ
him selfe to be eaten and dronken of vs Christen people vnder the forme of breade and wine Furthermore yf any mā wil aske ye wher is this writen ye shall answer These be the wordes which the holy Euangelistes Mathewe Marke Luke and the Apostle Paule do writ Our Lorde Iesus Christ the same nyght that he was betrayed toke breade and gyuyng thankes brake it gaue it to his disciples and said Take eate This is my bodye whiche is giuen for you Do this in remembraunce of me Lykewyse he toke the cup after he had supped and giuynge thankes gaue it to them and sayed Drynke of this all ye This is my bloude of the new testament which is shed for you and for manye for the forgyuenes of synnes Do this as often as ye drincke in remembraunce of me Furthermore yf any man aske ye what auayleth it thus to eate and drynke ye shall answer These wordes do declare what profit we receaue thereby my bodye whych is giuen for you my bloud which is shed for you for the forgiuenes of synnes By the whiche wordes Christe declareth that by this sacramente and wordes of promyse are gyuen to vs remission of synnes lyfe and saluation For where as forgyuenes of synne is ther is also lyfe and saluation Againe yf a man wyl go further with you aske you How can bodily eatyng and drynkynge haue so greate strength and operation ye shall answer To eate and to drynke doth not worke so great thynges but this worde promyse of God my bodye whiche was gyuen for you my bloude whiche was shede for you for y e remyssion of sinnes This worde of God is added to the outwarde sygnes as the chief thing in this sacramente He that beleueth these wordes he hathe that thinge whiche the wordes do promyse that is to saye forgyuenes of his synnes Besyde this yf a man aske of you who be they that do worthely receaue this sacrament ye shal answere That fastyng abstinence and suche other lyke do perteyne and are profitable for an outward discypline or chasticement of y e body But he receaueth the sacramēt worthely that hath faith to beleue these wordes My bodye whiche was gyuen for you my bloude whiche was shed for you for the remission of synnes But he that beleueth not these wordes or doubteth of thē he receaueth the lordes supper vnworthely For this worde giuen for you doth require a faithful and beleuyng harte So good children ye haue the trew vnderstanding of y e wordes of Christe and the trew vse of the holy supper of the Lorde Learne al these lessons dilygently I pray you that ye also in tyme to come maye worthely receaue this sacrament and from daye to daye sticke and cleaue more stedfastlye to the wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ and so cōtinuyng in Christe maye bryng forthe good fruyt And yf you do so then youre heauenly father wil purge and prune you as the husbande man dothe the braūches of his vyne that ye may daily floryshe more and more bring forth fruit more plenteouslye that God may be glorified by you and your fruyt maye abyde contynually And so at the length ye shall receaue lyfe and euerlastynge saluation and glorie with oure sauiour Iesus Christ the which God graunt vs all Amen FINIS ¶ The contentes of this boke The preface THe first cōmaūdement fo ix The .ii. cōmaūdement fo xx The .iii. commaūdement fo xxxi The .iiii. cōmaundement fo xxxix The .v. cōmaundement fo liiii The .vi. cōmaundement fo lxiiii The .vii. cōmaundemēt fo lxxiii The .viii. cōmaūdemēt fo lxxxiii The .ix. commaundement fo xcii The .x. commaundement fo xcix Deut. xi ii Tim. iii.
