indispensible_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n 21_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o whosoever_o shall_v kill_v shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n 22_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v unto_o his_o brother_n racha_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o council_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o hellfire_n here_o our_o bless_a saviour_n begin_v to_o expound_v the_o spiritual_a sense_n and_o mean_v of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o vindicate_v it_o from_o the_o corrupt_a gloss_n of_o the_o pharisee_n where_o observe_v christ_n do_v not_o deliver_v a_o new_a law_n but_o expound_v the_o old_a and_o do_v not_o enjoin_v new_a duty_n but_o enforce_v the_o old_a one_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v always_o perfect_a require_v the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o in_o this_o exposition_n of_o the_o law_n christ_n begin_v with_o the_o six_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v where_o he_o show_v that_o beside_o the_o actual_a take_v away_o of_o life_n a_o person_n may_v violate_v that_o command_n 1._o by_o rash_a

eye_n offend_v thou_o pluck_v it_o out_o and_o cast_v it_o from_o thou_o for_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o thou_o that_o one_o of_o thy_o member_n shall_v perish_v and_o not_o that_o thy_o whole_a
