father will loue him and we will come vnto him and make our dwelling with him he that hath my Commaundements and keepeth them is he that loueth me and he that loueth me shall be loued of my father therefor it is good for euery one of vs to kéepe Gods Commaundements that is to haue no Gods but one to sanctifie and hallow the name of God to call onely vpon him in all néede and necessitie not to take his name so lightly in vaine as we doe for no cause and vpon a very small and fond occasion the which if we do the threatnings pronounced that is he shal not be holden guiltles that taketh his name in vaine that is he shall not be vnpunished To sanctifie the Saboth day namely to rest from our works as God did from his to the intent that he may worke in vs and we to fulfill his will by hearing his word and stedfast faith and prayer to honour father and mother that is to be obedient vnto them to helpe them in their nede to cherish them to comfort them in aduersitie for it is acceptable and well pleasing vnto the Lord. To do no murther that is to hate no man to beare no malice in our minds to giue no euill words but euen to loue our enemies and to doe good for euill not to commit adultery to breake no lawfull wedlock to commit no whoredome nor vncleannesse but either to liue chaste or else to marry to steale nothing that is to vse no false Merchandize neither in bargaining weight nor measure but truely to labour in some good calling for the sustaining of the poore to beare no false witnesse that is to hurt no mans name nor fame to lye of no man but either to say the truth or else to kéepe silence To couet no mans house wife seruant goods nor any thting that is his not once to lust after our neighbours euill but hartily to loue him euen as our selues and to do vnto him after the manner as we would be did vnto vs these Commaundements it is good for vs to kéep not onely this day but as long as we liue to the honouring of the blessed name of God to the increase of his Kingdome and to the fulfilling of his Godly will all the dayes of thy life it is in good faith and stedfast beliefe to loue thy neighbour as thy selfe loue is the fulfilling of the law loue hideth the multitude of sinnes loue hath many noble conditions loue is patient and courteous loue enuieth not loue doth not frowardly loue is not puffed vp it disdaineth not seeketh not her owne is not prouoked to anger thinketh not euill reioyceth not of iniquitie but reioyceth in the truth it suffereth all things beleeueth all things it hopeth all things it endureth all things whosoeuer now hath the spirit of God and hath truly receiued the light of his word will vse these works these fruits of the spirit and this Armour of light this is the new Commaundement that our Master hath giuen vs for by this shall euery man know that we are his Disciples if we loue one another not in word and tongue onely but indéed and verily not to suffer them to want and we haue not to let them perish and we may helpe them but louingly with a good hart to distribute to the necessity of the S●int● to feed the hungry to minister drinke to the thirstie to lodge the harbourlesse to visit the sicke and shortly to doe to euery man euen as we would they did vnto vs. It is good for euery one of vs to tell another his fault and that louingly after a brotherly correction without any desire of vengeance for it is written Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart but thou shalt plainely rebuke thy neighbour and suffer him not to sinne Thou shalt not auenge nor be mindfull of wrong against the children of thy people but shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe and as the wise man saith tell thy neighbour or friend his fault least he be ignorant and say I haue not done it or if he haue done it that he do it no more Reproue thy neighbour that he may kéepe his toong and if he haue spoken any thing amisse that he say it no more for the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles is That if any man be fallen by occasion into any fault they which are spirituall should restore such an one with the spirit of meekenesse considering themselues what is their own nature least they also be tempted If thy brother trespasse against thee saith Christ goe and tell him his fault betweene him and thee alone if he heare thee thou hast woon thy brother but if he heare thee not take yet with thee one or two that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery word may be confirmed and if he will not vouchsafe to heare then tell it vnto the Church and if he refuse to heare the Church also then let him be vnto thee as an heathen man and a publican Now if any that is of the number of the brethren in Christ and would be taken for a Christian man indéed be a whoremonger or couetous or a worshipper of images or a rayler or a drunkard or an extortioner the Doctrine of Paule is plaine that we should not eate nor kéepe company with such this day it is good to be ware of false prophets of mens owne imaginations and dreames least we receiue the poyson of Antichrists lawes in stéed of the blessed word of God least we shoote at the wrong marke and be deceiued by such as walke in humblenesse of minde worshiping of Angels beware of false prophets which come to you in sheepes cloathing but inwardly are rauening wolues and whosoeuer transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God he that continueth in the doctrine of Christ he hath both the Father and the Sonne If there come any vnto you and bring not this Doctrine receiue him not to house neither bid him God● spéed for he that biddeth him God spéed is partaker of his euill déeds for by false prophets the Lord our God doth proue vs to know whether we loue the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soule or not wherefore it shal be good for vs not onely this day but as long as we liue to walke after the Lord our God and to feare him and to kéepe his Commandements his statutes his lawes and his constitutions to harken vnto his voice to serue him and to ●leaue vnto him It is good for euery subiect to be obedient and to submit himselfe vnto all manner of ordinance of man for the Lords sake for there is no power but of God and the powers that be are ordained of God whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God
