PROLOGE IN TO THE fyfte boke of Moses called Deuteronomye THis is a boke worthye to be rede in daye and nyghte and neuer to be oute of handes For it is the most excellent of all the bokes of Moses It is easye also and light and a very pure gospell that is to wete a preachinge of fayth and loue deducinge the loue to God oute of faith and the loue of a mans neyghboure out of the loue of God Herin also thou mayst lerne right meditacion or contemplacyon which is nothing els saue the callynge to mynde and a repeatyng in the hert of the gloriouse aÌ„d wonderfull deades of God and of his terreble handelinge off his enemyes and mercyfull entreating of them that come when he calleth them which thinge this boke doth and almost nothinge els In the .iiij. first chaptres he reherseth the benefites of God done vnto theÌ„ to prouoke theÌ„ to loue aÌ„d his mightie deades done aboue all naturall power aÌ„d beyonde all naturall capacite of faith that they might beleue God aÌ„d trust in him and in his strength And thyrdlye he reherseth the firce plages of God vppon hys enemyes and on them which thorowe impacientie and vnbeleâ—â—e fell from him partelye to tame and abate the appetites of the fleshe whiche alwaye fyght agenst the spirite and partely to bridle the wilde raginge lustes of theÌ„ in whom was no spirite that though they had no power to do good of loue yet at the lest waye they shulde absteyne from outwarde euell for feare of wrath and cruell vengeaunce whiche shuld fall vppon them and shortly finde them oute yf they cast vpp goddes nurter and runne at ryotte beyonde his lawes and ordinaunces Moreouer he chargeth them to put nought to nor take oughte awaye from goddes wordes but to be diligent onlye to kepe them in remeÌ„braunce and in the harte and to teache theire childern for feare of forgettinge And to beware ether of makynge imagerye or of bowinge them selues vnto images sayenge Ye sarâ—e no image when God spake vnto you but herde avoyce onlye and that voyce

coÌ„braunce aÌ„d all necessite yet yf they repent and turne he promyseth them that God shall remeÌ„bre his mercie aÌ„d receave theÌ„ to grace agayne In the fifte he repeteth the .x. commauÌ„dmeÌ„tes and that they myght se a cause to do them of loue he biddeth them remembre that they were bounde in Egipte and how God delyuered them with a mightie hande and a stretchedout arme to serue him and to kepe his commaundmentes as Paule sayeth that we are bought with Christes bloude aÌ„d therfore are his servauntes aÌ„d not oure awne aÌ„d ought to seke his will and honoure onlye aÌ„d to loue aÌ„d serue one another for his sake In the sixte he setteth out the fountayne off all commaundmentes that is that they beleue how that there is but one God that doeth all and therfore ought onlye to be loued with all the herto all the soule and all the myghte For loue only is the fulfillinge of the commaundementes as Paule also sayeth vnto the Romaynes and Galathians likewise He warneth theÌ„ also that they forgett not the commaundmentes but teach theÌ„ their childern aÌ„d to shew the ir childern also how God delyuered theÌ„ out of the bondage of the EgiptiaÌ„s to serue him and his commaundmeÌ„tes that the childern myght se a cause to worke of loue likewise The seueÌ„th is all together of faith he remoueth all occasioÌ„s that might withdrawe them from the fayth and pulleth them also from all confidence in them selues and sturreth theÌ„ vp to trust in god boldlye and onlye Of the eyght chaptre thou seyst how that the cause of all temptation is that a maÌ„ might so his awne herte For wheÌ„ I am brought in to that extremite that I must ether suffre or forsake god then I shall feale how moch I beleue and trust in him
