opinion_n reason_v why_o this_o and_o why_o that_o and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o high_a mystery_n of_o god_n if_o they_o mislike_v we_o we_o can_v wish_v that_o all_o be_v put_v out_o and_o

humility_n &_o reverence_n i_o will_v that_o you_o yield_v yourselves_o tractable_a although_o that_o which_o be_v there_o say_v agree_v not_o with_o your_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o that_o you_o can_v wish_v i_o have_v speak_v after_o your_o manner_n and_o fashion_n i_o will_v you_o do_v i_o this_o honour_n as_o to_o imprison_v all_o your_o sense_n and_o submit_v your_o understanding_n to_o my_o word_n and_o to_o say_v lord_n we_o be_v thy_o disciple_n we_o receive_v without_o gainsay_v whatsoever_o it_o have_v please_v thou_o to_o teach_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o

be_v of_o the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o geve_v judgement_n according_a to_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o understanding_n and_o albeit_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o convenient_a and_o

his_o word_n a_o full_a course_n and_o liberty_n and_o when_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sermon_n let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n to_o say_v behold_v our_o god_n declare_v himself_o unto_o we_o he_o sit_v as_o our_o judge_n we_o be_v not_o to_o make_v toy_n and_o gambalde_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o shall_v speak_v as_o we_o see_v many_o will_v

with_o their_o wickedness_n yea_o they_o will_v be_v further_a envenom_a to_o spew_v forth_o their_o blasphemy_n at_o table_n or_o else_o where_o when_o man_n shall_v speak_v any_o thing_n to_o their_o lust_n and_o appetite_n loe_o how_o these_o man_n honour_n &_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o that_o whether_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o hear_v it_o handle_v in_o a_o sermon_n to_o have_v always_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o reverence_n and_o to_o yield_v unto_o he_o such_o majesty_n that_o we_o tremble_v when_o one_o speak_v unto_o we_o hereof_o and_o above_o all_o when_o his_o word_n be_v preach_v 2._o as_o god_n speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n esaie_n for_o let_v we_o know_v that_o so_o we_o shall_v declare_v ourselves_o not_o only_o

we_o have_v it_o say_v he_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o the_o ancient_a father_n shall_v be_v exercise_v in_o this_o hope_n as_o well_o by_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n as_o by_o other_o ceremony_n but_o since_o the_o thing_n be_v now_o give_v we_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o stay_v ourselves_o on_o these_o shadow_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n be_v so_o abolish_v

all_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v to_o conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o rule_n which_o he_o here_o prescribe_v we_o we_o see_v then_o that_o this_o be_v a_o vice_n for_o which_o man_n ought_v to_o
