neither_o behove_v it_o we_o alone_o to_o show_v our_o zeal_n in_o punish_v of_o great_a enormity_n but_o also_o to_o consider_v that_o small_a fault_n draw_v on_o the_o great_a when_o they_o be_v

the_o practice_n nowadays_o run_v clean_o contrary_a for_o man_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o lessen_v their_o fault_n in_o deed_n a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v altogether_o excuse_v when_o he_o

of_o man_n fault_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v for_o why_o they_o be_v not_o find_v so_o grievous_a and_o heinous_a as_o they_o be_v in_o deed_n no_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o y_fw-mi it_o if_o the_o

you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n now_o whereas_o god_n speak_v thus_o unto_o earthly_a judge_n let_v we_o know_v that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o may_v well_o

therefore_o if_o god_n use_v not_o great_a mercy_n towards_o we_o he_o shall_v lift_v up_o his_o hand_n against_o we_o and_o drown_v we_o in_o the_o pit_n of_o destruction_n every_o minute_n of_o a_o

earthly_a justice_n he_o command_v the_o least_o fault_n to_o be_v punish_v he_o may_v himself_o by_o great_a reason_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o we_o even_o to_o root_v we_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n especial_o consider_v the_o infinite_a number_n of_o fault_n whereof_o we_o be_v guilty_a before_o he_o and_o if_o it_o be_v allege_v well_o then_o see_v god_n be_v so_o merciful_a ought_v not_o man_n

his_o dwell_n in_o rest_n be_v that_o reason_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v such_o change_n to_o happen_v as_o they_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n

be_v not_o cleanse_v you_o see_v then_o in_o effect_n whereunto_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o whole_a doctrine_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v note_v the_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v set_v down_o here_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v apply_v every_o point_n unto_o his_o use_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o by_o great_a reason_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v

that_o he_o be_v wrongful_o accuse_v when_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v find_v faulty_a his_o punishment_n ought_v to_o be_v double_v and_o from_o this_o law_n we_o may_v gather_v a_o good_a lesson_n we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v say_v y_o it_o a_o man_n good_a name_n be_v better_a and_o more_o precious_a than_o either_o gold_n or_o silver_n and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v once_o past_a shame_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o he_o be_v wed_v to_o all_o wickedness_n it_o be_v natural_a therefore_o to_o every_o man_n to_o maintain_v his_o credit_n in_o deed_n we_o must_v not_o be_v ambitious_o give_v as_o they_o which_o covet_v naught_o else_o but_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o man_n wo_n worth_a we_o if_o we_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v 12.17_o 〈◊〉_d 12.17_o but_o we_o ought_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o procure_v that_o which_o be_v good_a not_o only_o in_o conscience_n before_o god_n but_o also_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o be_v not_o a_o stumble_a

be_v it_o if_o man_n shall_v take_v occasion_n by_o we_o to_o offend_v god_n you_o see_v then_o to_o what_o end_n we_o ought_v to_o maintain_v our_o credit_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o us._n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o if_o any_o after_o that_o he_o have_v take_v a_o woman_n to_o wife_n accuse_v she_o that_o she_o behave_v herself_o lewdlie_o before_o he_o take_v

divorce_v from_o she_o we_o see_v now_o how_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o husband_n to_o accuse_v the_o wife_n wrongful_o and_o therefore_o by_o great_a reason_n it_o may_v be_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o strange_a to_o flaunder_v one_o in_o respect_n of_o chastity_n which_o be_v find_v innocent_a for_o the_o husband_n may_v allege_v that_o he_o have_v more_o

chaste_a when_o god_n declare_v himself_o the_o protector_n of_o their_o honesty_n when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v this_o care_n that_o they_o which_o live_v honest_o and_o join_a tout_fw-fr

it_o slip_v let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o for_o all_o that_o for_o god_n will_v requite_v it_o with_o horrible_a revenge_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n

he_o of_o his_o money_n moreover_o we_o must_v return_v to_o this_o point_n namely_o to_o consider_v of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v in_o marriage_n of_o how_o great_a importance_n it_o be_v for_o we_o know_v to_o what_o end_n marriage_n be_v ordain_v namely_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v live_v honest_o together_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o such_o beastly_a

in_o vain_a see_v then_o that_o marriage_n be_v ordain_v unto_o this_o end_n if_o man_n will_v walk_v clean_o contrary_a be_v it_o not_o a_o open_a defiance_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o a_o pluck_n
