may_v be_v reprove_v for_o the_o neglect_n of_o charity_n but_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o defend_v and_o maintain_v his_o do_v against_o they_o but_o also_o lay_v the_o same_o crime_n to_o their_o

requirethe_v no_o counterfeit_v service_n that_o we_o shall_v exercise_v all_o the_o day_n in_o sing_v in_o the_o temple_n after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o papist_n this_o be_v his_o will_n that_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v hear_v and_o that_o which_o be_v command_v thereby_o shall_v be_v perform_v in_o deed_n as_o there_o be_v a_o excellent_a say_n in_o osee_n for_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n

which_o send_v my_o son_n &_o deliver_v he_o to_o be_v slay_v for_o thou_o which_o have_v mercy_n upon_o the_o at_o baptism_n etc._n etc._n by_o such_o a_o word_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n

follow_v that_o sith_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n come_v by_o the_o word_n that_o this_o be_v god_n service_n and_o sanctifyeng_v of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o here_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n the_o perverse_a and_o overthwart_a pharisee_n neglect_v all_o this_o they_o hear_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o care_v not_o for_o his_o commandment_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v be_v count_v for_o such_o as_o violate_v not_o the_o sabbath_n so_o do_v all_o papist_n king_n &_o prince_n that_o resist_v god_n word_n they_o hear_v mass_n every_o day_n they_o never_o hear_v any_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n &_o yet_o they_o will_v be_v name_v with_o the_o excellent_a name_n of_o christian_n that_o serve_v god_n but_o he_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o it_o

day_n with_o we_o christian_n for_o we_o must_v every_o day_n hear_v god_n word_n and_o order_v our_o life_n thereafter_o and_o yet_o for_o the_o people_n sake_n be_v the_o sunday_n ordain_v to_o this_o intent_n that_o they_o shall_v chief_o hear_v on_o that_o day_n the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o live_v after_o it_o for_o the_o other_o six_o day_n be_v leave_v for_o every_o man_n to_o do_v his_o business_n this_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o gospel_n that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a keep_v of_o the_o sabbath_n &_o worship_v of_o god_n when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v herd_n &_o

humility_n than_o all_o other_o sacrifice_n as_o osee_n say_v the_o second_o part_n teach_v of_o humility_n for_o so_o do_v christ_n expound_v the_o parable_n in_o the_o end_n he_o that_o exalt_v

hate_v the_o proud_a and_o none_o but_o light_a person_n and_o wicked_a do_v hate_v the_o humble_a and_o low_o for_o it_o be_v give_v by_o nature_n that_o all_o man_n love_v such_o when_o a_o handmaid_n show_v herself_o humble_a and_o obediente_a in_o do_v her_o business_n in_o the_o family_n her_o master_n can_v not_o hate_v she_o to_o be_v short_a nature_n itself_o cause_v all_o man_n to_o favour_v the_o humble_a &_o lowly_a &_o to_o hate_v the_o proud_a as_o soon_o as_o the_o parent_n perceve_fw-mi disobedience_n &_o pride_n in_o the_o child_n and_o servant_n for_o these_o two_o vice_n be_v always_o join_v together_o when_o they_o answer_v proud_o that_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o be_v obedient_a at_o every_o word_n the_o parent_n can_v not_o abide_v this_o and_o they_o

in_o all_o kynde_n afterward_o all_o rich_a man_n learned_a wise_a beautyfull_a strong_a myghtie_a as_o soon_o as_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v proud_a &_o to_o forget_v modesty_n they_o be_v cast_v down_o headlong_o of_o god_n for_o as_o it_o be_v write_v god_n resist_v the_o proud_a he_o that_o have_v such_o a_o adversary_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n escape_v from_o fall_a 5._o contrary_o he_o that_o be_v sober_a mind_v obteyn_v the_o favour_n both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n so_o that_o god_n with_o his_o angel_n do_v high_o esteem_v he_o and_o man_n have_v he_o in_o great_a estimation_n and_o singular_a renown_n as_o example_n do_v declare_v that_o oftentimes_o poor_a man_n child_n come_v to_o high_a renown_n so_o that_o prince_n be_v fain_o to_o have_v they_o in_o honour_n for_o their_o wisdom_n and_o counsel_n sake_n whereof_o come_v this_o felicity_n uery_o hereof_o that_o god_n can_v not_o be_v lack_v to_o they_o that_o be_v sober_a mind_v and_o lowly_a 113._o as_o the_o .113_o psalm_n show_v who_o be_v as_o our_o god_n which_o dwell_v on_o high_a and_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o lowly_a in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n he_o raise_v up_o the_o simple_a out_o of_o

of_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n he_o will_v not_o take_v away_o his_o help_n succour_n and_o salvation_n from_o thou_o when_o
