for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n a._n because_o that_o we_o be_v altogether_o corrupt_v and_o whole_o perverse_a in_o ourselves_o god_n can_v not_o love_v we_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o only_o which_o be_v man_n altogether_o just_a and_o perfect_a that_o be_v to_o say_v jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n qu._n 5_o come_n this_o faith_n of_o ourselves_o a._n no_o but_o from_o the_o only_a grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o do_v free_o give_v it_o to_o his_o elect_a and_o choose_a one_o qu._n 6_o and_o they_o which_o have_v this_o faith_n at_o they_o save_v a._n yea_o of_o necessity_n for_o god_n have_v give_v his_o son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o which_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v have_v life_n everlasting_a and_o he_o be_v not_o a_o liar_n the_o five_o section_n qu._n 1_o but_o whereby_o may_v a_o man_n know_v whether_o he_o have_v faith_n or_o no_o a._n by_o good_a work_n qu._n 2_o which_o be_v good_a work_n and_o which_o be_v evil_a a._n those_o only_o be_v good_a which_o he_o himself_o have_v command_v and_o those_o evil_n which_o he_o have_v forbid_v qu._n 3_o rehearse_v now_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n a._n hear_v israel_n etc_n etc_n the_o sum_n whereof_o be_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god._n qu._n 4_o to_o know_v god_n commandment_n be_v not_o only_o to_o know_v to_o say_v they_o but_o man_n must_v also_o understand_v that_o which_o they_o say_v wherefore_o i_o demand_v of_o you_o what_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o third_o commandment_n to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_o a._n it_o be_v to_o name_n god_n which_o we_o must_v never_o do_v but_o upon_o just_a and_o good_a cause_n and_o with_o fear_n of_o his_o majesty_n who_o we_o name_v qu._n 5_o then_o it_o be_v by_o strong_a and_o great_a reason_n more_o forbid_v to_o swear_v by_o god_n in_o vain_a that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o take_v he_o for_o a_o witness_v and_o judge_v without_o just_a and_o good_a cause_n why_o a._n it_o be_v so_o in_o deed_n qu._n 6_o what_o mean_v it_o to_o sanctify_v the_o sabaoth_n day_n or_o day_n of_o rest_n a._n it_o be_v to_o dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n qu._n 7_o aught_v we_o not_o also_o to_o dedicate_v unto_o he_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n a._n yea_o but_o this_o day_n be_v particular_o and_o chief_o ordain_v for_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n qu._n 8_o do_v man_n forbid_v to_o travail_v or_o work_n on_o the_o saboth_n day_n as_o though_o to_o labour_n be_v a_o thing_n evil_a of_o itself_o a._n no_o but_o they_o forbid_v
