damsel_n because_o she_o do_v it_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o herewithal_o do_v take_v his_o leave_n of_o she_o also_o and_o go_v with_o the_o steward_n his_o guide_n to_o humility_n third_o daughter_n chamber_n who_o be_v call_v glad_a to_o be_v despise_v who_o entertain_v he_o likewise_o with_o a_o cheerful_a countenance_n &_o as_o he_o sit_v down_o say_v unto_o she_o i_o pray_v you_o lady_n to_o tell_v i_o your_o name_n and_o condition_n i_o answer_v she_o do_v rejoice_v to_o be_v despise_v contemn_a injure_v &_o mock_v at_o and_o this_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n desire_n do_v

to_o be_v quite_o repugnaunt_a to_o i_o own_o nature_n for_o when_o i_o be_o injure_v contemn_v dishonour_a and_o nothing_o esteem_v of_o than_o i_o grudge_v and_o wax_v angry_a at_o it_o this_o do_v happen_v say_v she_o because_o thou_o have_v notyet_n embrace_v humility_n who_o do_v comprehend_v to_o esteem_v nothing_o of_o herself_o and_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o despise_v herself_o but_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a and_o certain_a token_n that_o thou_o be_v full_a of_o self-love_n pride_n and_o ambition_n yet_o because_o god_n have_v bring_v thou_o here_o in_o the_o house_n we_o will_v teach_v and_o instruct_v thou_o in_o all_o kind_n of_o virtue_n and_o pull_v from_o thou_o this_o thick_a and_o filthy_a skin_n and_o transform_v thou_o ●nto_o a_o new_a shape_n and_o prepare_v thou_o that_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v attain_v to_o my_o virtue_n first_o of_o all_o thou_o must_v embrace_v my_o second_o ●ister_n call_v desire_n to_o be_v despise_v oftentimes_o remember_v and_o speak_v to_o thyself_o hereafter_o i_o will_v be_v despise_v and_o contemn_v &_o not_o grudge_v when_o i_o be_o mock_v at_o injure_v &_o belie_v and_o when_o thou_o have_v attain_a unto_o this_o then_o shall_v thou_o be_v fervent_a in_o prayer_n and_o with_o great_a labour_n not_o at_o the_o first_o but_o by_o little_a and_o little_o obtain_v this_o virtue_n whereof_o i_o do_v bear_v the_o name_n and_o although_o this_o will_v fall_v something_o hard_a unto_o thou_o at_o the_o first_o because_o thou_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o strive_v against_o thy_o own_o nature_n yet_o shall_v thou_o with_o constancy_n overcome_v all_o difficulty_n insomuch_o that_o thou_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o rejoice_v when_o they_o shall_v either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n offer_v thou_o any_o wrong_a or_o injury_n therefore_o force_v thyself_o to_o bear_v patient_o all_o shame_n contempt_n &_o despise_v for_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o none_o be_v just_a unless_o he_o be_v humble_a and_o grudge_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v injure_v &_o mock_v at_o whereupon_o desire_n do_v answer_v and_o say_v i_o do_v marvel_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v unjust_a who_o do_v mislike_v and_o grudge_v at_o these_o thing_n for_o there_o be_v few_o to_o be_v find_v y●_z then_o be_v just_a therefore_o i_o think_v y●_z you_o do_v mistake_v yourself_o in_o this_o point_n not_o so_o say_v she_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v instruct_v thou_o in_o this_o doctrine_n first_o thou_o can_v not_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v just_a who_o do_v desire_n to_o give_v and_o to_o receive_v of_o every_o man_n his_o right_n and_o thou_o know_v that_o unto_o man_n appertain_v nothing_o but_o contempt_n and_o mockery_n because_o he_o be_v more_o vild_a than_o any_o other_o creature_n for_o his_o great_a and_o abominable_a sin_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o he_o who_o grudge_v to_o receive_v his_o due_n be_v unjust_a furthermore_o thou_o can_v not_o deny_v that_o all_o good_a thing_n shall_v be_v belove_v seek_v for_o and_o esteem_v of_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o the_o more_o that_o they_o exceed_v in_o goodness_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o every_o evil_a thing_n shall_v be_v hate_v despise_a &_o suppress_v and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o every_o man_n be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a because_o god_n only_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o with_o reason_n shall_v be_v despise_v scorn_a and_o hate_v because_o it_o be_v his_o due_a and_o right_n the_o sixteenth_o chapter_n show_v that_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v create_v be_v good_a and_o how_o this_o title_n good_a belong_v only_o unto_o he_o behold_v say_v desire_n i_o be_o not_o yet_o sufficient_o satisfy_v with_o these_o your_o argument_n where_o with_o you_o do_v seek_v to_o prone_a that_o god_n only_o be_v good_a and_o all_o that_o that_o be_v not_o god_n shall_v be_v naught_o for_o your_o conclusion_n do_v disagree_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n where_o she_o witness_v that_o when_o god_n do_v behold_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o create_v find_v it_o not_o only_o to_o be_v good_a but_o perfect_v and_o without_o fault_n further_o see_v that_o god_n be_v good_a be_v our_o chief_a felicitte_n and_o of_o all_o that_o there_o be_v create_v the_o efficient_a and_o only_a cause_n consequent_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o all_o which_o he_o have_v create_v shall_v be_v exceed_o good_a because_o the_o work_n shall_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o workman_n for_o not_o to_o stain_v his_o skill_n and_o cunning_a and_o see_v that_o man_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a &_o excellent_a creature_n of_o all_o visible_a thing_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o good_a only_o but_o exceed_v in_o goodness_n and_o by_o consequent_a according_a to_o your_o own_o argument_n to_o he_o belong_v all_o honour_n love_n and_o obedience_n i_o will_v not_o answer_v the_o damsel_n dispute_v with_o thou_o any_o long_o but_o i_o will_v more_o at_o large_a declare_v and_o expound_v unto_o thou_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o end_n thou_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v they_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o god_n only_o be_v good_a as_o that_o gospel_n be_v the_o only_a truth_n do_v witness_v which_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o god_n in_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n be_v good_a only_a &_o that_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o to_o be_v good_a and_o all_o that_o god_n have_v create_v be_v good_a but_o by_o participation_n of_o his_o goodness_n therefore_o when_o the_o creature_n do_v consider_v the_o unspeakable_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o weigh_v his_o benefit_n and_o grace_n bestow_v upon_o she_o she_o will_v yield_v all_o honour_n and_o obedience_n that_o be_v due_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o this_o turn_v to_o godward_o and_o not_o the_o creature_n and_o in_o this_o sort_n ought_v we_o to_o love_v ourselves_o &_o all_o creature_n because_o we_o be_v all_o good_a in_o our_o first_o creation_n and_o therefore_o man_n shall_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v honour_v and_o reverence_v for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n participate_v unto_o he_o and_o because_o he_o be_v the_o handie●wo●ke_n and_o creature_n of_o god_n shall_v attribute_v only_o unto_o he_o all_o his_o goodness_n and_o not_o to_o himself_o or_o to_o his_o own_o industry_n for_o th●re_n be_v great_a difference_n in_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n and_o in_o that_o he_o have_v of_o his_o own_o from_o god_n he_o have_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o nature_n but_o from_o himself_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a for_o by_o he_o he_o do_v carry_v his_o image_n and_o likeness_n always_o in_o he_o but_o by_o himself_o through_o his_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a life_n do_v deface_v it_o and_o become_v altogether_o unlike_o he_o delight_v in_o nothing_o by_o nature_n but_o in_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o his_o first_o creation_n and_o hereout_o may_v we_o perceive_v that_o we_o shall_v honour_v and_o love_n that_o which_o man_n have_v in_o he_o of_o god_n namely_o his_o good_a nature_n condition_n &_o all_o kind_n of_o virtue_n but_o shall_v hate_v and_o detest_v in_o he_o all_o that_o he_o have_v of_o his_o own_o namely_o his_o wickedness_n filthiness_n and_o sin_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o we_o shall_v in_o sundry_a meaning_n and_o to_o sundry_a end_n honour_n or_o despise_v love_n or_o hate_v a_o man_n and_o how_o holy_a or_o virtuous_a so_o ever_o a_o man_n be_v yet_o must_v he_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v nothing_o of_o
