the_o world_n be_v come_v unto_o such_o a_o unshamefastnesse_n for_o to_o mock_v with_o god_n so_o i_o grant_v that_o their_o intent_n be_v such_o as_o they_o pretend_v and_o i_o will_v no_o further_o

nevertheless_o he_o styckethe_v not_o to_o eat_v of_o it_o follow_v thy_o example_n behold_v now_o how_o thou_o be_v cause_n of_o his_o ruin_n or_o else_o if_o he_o absteyn_v he_o be_v trouble_v in_o

well_o ground_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n we_o see_v then_o from_o what_o offence_n saint_n paul_n call_v we_o back_o it_o be_v when_o we_o through_o our_o rashness_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o a_o

he_o have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o unfrynd_o thing_n &_o against_o charite_n for_o to_o trouble_v a_o weak_a person_n because_o he_o make_v his_o conscience_n to_o eat_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o

when_o he_o will_v conclude_v his_o purpose_n he_o say_v let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n in_o well_o do_v unto_o his_o edyfyenge_a now_o we_o see_v the_o mark_n whereunto_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o avoid_v offence_n it_o be_v that_o we_o gyve_v not_o a_o occasion_n unto_o our_o neighbour_n to_o be_v edyfy_v in_o evyll_n nor_o yet_o gyve_v he_o any_o

whether_o that_o they_o which_o bow_v themselves_o unto_o idol_n and_o by_o their_o dissemble_a of_o their_o christianyte_a dishonour_n god_n do_v by_o this_o mean_n avoid_v offend_n first_o they_o

with_o idolatry_n they_o do_v take_v courage_n and_o boldness_n through_o their_o example_n final_o they_o confirm_v the_o unbelever_n and_o harden_v they_o in_o their_o error_n if_o this_o be_v not_o to_o offend_v i_o confess_v that_o i_o be_o out_o of_o my_o wit_n it_o be_v very_o true_a in_o deed_n that_o they_o do_v not_o offend_v the_o worldly_a people_n or_o do_v run_v into_o their_o

for_o in_o follow_v one_o a_o other_o like_o crane_n they_o do_v seduce_v or_o lead_v a_o other_o out_o of_o the_o right_n way_n for_o as_o moche_v as_o never_o a_o one_o of_o they_o do_v follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a true_a rule_n moreover_o we_o must_v note_v that_o when_o s._n paul_n byd_v we_o to_o condiscende_v unto_o the_o rudeness_n or_o infirmite_n of_o
