that_o our_o lord_n intent_n be_v to_o say_v here_o in_o few_o word_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o so_o friendly_a as_o no_o man_n be_v oppress_v and_o that_o although_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o man_n to_o let_v that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v both_o poor_a and_o rich_a among_o they_o yet_o they_o shall_v so_o deal_v as_o the_o poor_a sort_n be_v not_o tread_v underfoot_o for_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o be_v wealthy_a do_v lay_v their_o snare_n and_o catch_v whatsoever_o they_o can_v come_v by_o so_o as_o the_o poor_a sort_n dare_v not_o come_v near_o they_o and_o if_o they_o get_v but_o the_o value_n of_o a_o pin_n at_o their_o hand_n they_o fleece_v they_o of_o it_o by_o and_o by_o again_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o lord_n intent_n to_o provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o that_o mischief_n among_o his_o people_n now_o remain_v that_o we_o apply_v this_o matter_n to_o our_o own_o behoof_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o order_n belong_v peculiar_o to_o the_o jew_n but_o yet_o do_v it_o concern_v we_o also_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o vex_v they_o out_o of_o measure_n which_o be_v indet_v unto_o us._n and_o it_o may_v well_o be_v among_o those_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n that_o they_o will_v not_o go_v to_o law_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o upon_o that_o day_n every_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v leisure_n to_o withdraw_v himself_o to_o godward_o to_o mind_v his_o work_n that_o we_o may_v all_o of_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o for_o all_o our_o life_n long_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v ourselves_o to_o pray_v and_o supplication_n nevertheless_o common_a meeting_n be_v make_v that_o man_n may_v hear_v the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n all_o other_o care_n and_o thought_n shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o single_a ceremony_n only_o but_o also_o the_o intent_n of_o god_n therewithal_o which_o be_v that_o our_o neighbour_n be_v not_o so_o vex_v by_o we_o as_o they_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o despise_v god_n and_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o despair_n for_o our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o give_v such_o respite_n as_o the_o poor_a may_v not_o be_v over_o grieve_v we_o see_v how_o he_o say_v in_o other_o place_n that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v a_o poor_a man_n mattress_n from_o under_o he_o 27._o exod._n 22.26_o 27._o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n have_v break_v payment_n if_o he_o bring_v his_o bed_n to_o lay_v to_o gage_v our_o lord_n forbid_v the_o take_n thereof_o and_o likewise_o the_o take_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n raiment_n which_o he_o have_v need_n of_o to_o wear_v for_o if_o he_o be_v a_o cold_a say_v he_o and_o thou_o keep_v his_o bed_n from_o he_o although_o he_o speak_v never_o a_o word_n yet_o shall_v his_o side_n curse_v thou_o because_o thou_o be_v so_o hard-hearted_a that_o thou_o have_v no_o pity_n of_o he_o when_o thou_o see_v he_o afflict_v in_o his_o body_n and_o albeit_o that_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v patient_a in_o his_o adversity_n yet_o do_v god_n in_o heaven_n consider_v thy_o cruelty_n and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v revenge_v it_o contrariwise_o he_o that_o give_v his_o poor_a neighbour_n his_o gage_n again_o and_o be_v so_o pitiful_a towards_o he_o that_o he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o see_v he_o endure_v necessity_n although_o the_o party_n so_o relieve_v do_v play_v the_o churl_n and_o regard_v not_o the_o good_a that_o have_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o yet_o shall_v he_o have_v his_o good_a deed_n to_o answer_v for_o he_o before_o i_o 24.12_o 〈◊〉_d 24.12_o say_v the_o lord_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v be_v kindhearted_a both_o general_o and_o particular_o as_o time_n require_v as_o how_o if_o there_o come_v a_o year_n of_o dearth_n many_o man_n will_v seek_v to_o enrich_v themselves_o by_o it_o and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v a_o time_n even_o for_o their_o own_o tooth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n too_o much_o use_v nowadays_o as_o it_o have_v be_v at_o all_o time_n heretofore_o and_o will_v god_n we_o can_v forget_v it_o but_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o number_n that_o lie_v in_o wait_n like_o scout_v or_o spy_v and_o if_o there_o come_v a_o dear_a year_n o_o say_v they_o this_o serve_v well_o to_o make_v i_o rich_a when_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o they_o shall_v open_v their_o bowel_n to_o have_v compassion_n of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o necessity_n we_o see_v that_o poor_a folk_n have_v much_o ado_n to_o maintain_v themselves_o though_o they_o be_v succour_v yea_o and_o such_o as_o heretofore_o have_v be_v able_a to_o live_v in_o their_o own_o house_n without_o be_v pinch_v over_o near_o be_v now_o drive_v to_o borrow_v and_o why_o be_v that_o they_o have_v their_o ordinary_a earning_n as_o before_o but_o corn_n and_o wine_n be_v at_o such_o excessive_a price_n that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o buy_v they_o every_o man_n shrink_v away_o and_o hold_v himself_o short_a and_o as_o for_o the_o rich_a man_n that_o have_v wherewith_o to_o live_v his_o mind_n be_v upon_o nothing_o else_o but_o how_o he_o may_v enrich_v himself_o o_o say_v he_o this_o be_v a_o fat_a year_n for_o i_o for_o it_o be_v a_o lean_a year_n for_o all_o other_o alas_o here_o be_v a_o wretched_a regard_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o our_o lord_n meaning_n by_o this_o law_n be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v forbear_v to_o relieve_v such_o as_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v windshaken_a already_o but_o that_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o maintain_v himself_o we_o shall_v not_o run_v upon_o he_o to_o overthrow_v he_o altogether_o as_o how_o if_o i_o see_v a_o man_n a_o little_a behind_o hand_n and_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o some_o cornegrounde_n or_o vyneyard_n of_o he_o lo_o he_o be_v in_o fit_a case_n for_o my_o purpose_n and_o if_o i_o take_v he_o at_o the_o vantage_n he_o be_v undo_v by_o it_o &_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o he_o to_o escape_v utter_a ruin_n and_o when_o a_o man_n have_v that_o regard_n to_o selfeprofite_n indevour_v to_o catch_v away_o the_o poor_a man_n possession_n sure_o although_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o god_n at_o all_o yet_o do_v even_o natural_a equity_n condemn_v it_o but_o here_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o his_o will_n which_o be_v that_o whensoever_o we_o see_v any_o man_n distress_v we_o shall_v spare_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o until_o he_o have_v some_o mean_n to_o recover_v himself_o again_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o lie_v in_o wait_n to_o catch_v from_o he_o at_o every_o occasion_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o further_a the_o matter_n but_o rather_o that_o we_o shall_v use_v such_o uprightness_n as_o to_o say_v if_o i_o bear_v with_o he_o he_o will_v pay_v i_o one_o time_n or_o other_o i_o see_v he_o be_v willing_a enough_o i_o see_v he_o will_v pay_v i_o i_o own_o and_o do_v asmuch_o for_o i_o if_o he_o be_v not_o overpress_v otherwise_o and_o see_v i_o know_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o shall_v i_o now_o set_v upon_o he_o with_o rigour_n that_o be_v even_o as_o much_o as_o though_o i_o will_v cut_v asunder_o his_o hamstringe_n that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o go_v no_o further_o i_o see_v he_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o draw_v his_o leg_n after_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v fall_v to_o cut_v of_o his_o sinew_n asunder_o and_o so_o fall_v he_o down_o altogether_o if_o he_o be_v utter_o overthrow_v for_o want_n of_o lend_v he_o my_o help_a hand_n at_o his_o need_n be_o not_o i_o the_o cause_n thereof_o shall_v not_o his_o poverty_n cry_v out_o for_o vengeance_n against_o i_o unto_o god_n now_o we_o see_v how_o this_o law_n serve_v as_o a_o policy_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o that_o it_o show_v we_o god_n will_v at_o this_o day_n because_o it_o teach_v we_o to_o bear_v with_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o mark_v that_o our_o spare_v of_o the_o poor_a after_o that_o fashion_n be_v a_o

that_o we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o hygh_a a_o man_n be_v exalt_v the_o more_o also_o be_v he_o bind_v both_o to_o god_n and_o to_o they_o over_o who_o he_o be_v set_v inasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n without_o burden_n yea_o or_o rather_o without_o bondage_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o we_o must_v also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o have_v no_o ability_n at_o all_o of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o much_o less_o be_v any_o man_n to_o be_v find_v sufficient_a to_o bear_v so_o great_a a_o burden_n there_o can_v so_o small_o a_o charge_n be_v commit_v unto_o we_o but_o the_o same_o be_v able_a to_o make_v our_o shoulder_n shrink_v yea_o and_o even_o to_o bow_v too_o for_o our_o infirmity_n be_v so_o great_a that_o

even_o by_o the_o profane_a history_n when_o they_o be_v once_o become_v idolater_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a unshamefastnesse_n of_o they_o to_o make_v such_o boast_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o

they_o will_v needs_o borrow_v the_o mean_n of_o idolater_n and_o we_o see_v in_o manner_n the_o like_a altogether_o nowadays_o in_o the_o popedom_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o monk_n boast_v

unto_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o stripe_n 3_o forty_o stripe_n shall_v he_o cause_v he_o to_o have_v and_o not_o above_o lest_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v beat_v above_o this_o number_n of_o stripe_n thy_o brother_n shall_v appear_v despise_v in_o thy_o sight_n 4_o thou_o shall_v not_o mussel_n the_o ox_n his_o mouth_n which_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n our_o lord_n in_o this_o place_n show_v they_o which_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o justice_n what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v when_o any_o man_n have_v wrong_v his_o neighbour_n for_o we_o know_v that_o civil_a order_n be_v ordain_v on_o earth_n 2.2_o ●_o tim._n 2.2_o to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o man_n may_v live_v quiet_o so_o as_o the_o weak_a be_v not_o bear_v to_o the_o ground_n by_o the_o strong_a but_o that_o right_a and_o equity_n may_v bear_v rule_n if_o this_o be_v not_o man_n be_v better_a to_o be_v beast_n to_o range_v in_o the_o wild_a forest_n for_o the_o beast_n yet_o can_v maintain_v and_o keep_v themselves_o one_o with_o another_o but_o we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v of_o so_o perverse_a and_o crooked_a a_o nature_n that_o every_o one_o will_v scratch_v out_o his_o neighbour_n eye_n if_o there_o be_v no_o bridle_n to_o hold_v they_o in_o see_v then_o it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v ordain_v magistrate_n to_o repress_v the_o lewd_a behaviour_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v any_o injurious_a and_o wrongful_a deal_n to_o escape_v unpunished_a it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n command_v here_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v unjust_o molest_v and_o complain_v of_o it_o he_o shall_v have_v justice_n do_v he_o and_o although_o it_o be_v here_o express_o speak_v of_o such_o injury_n as_o man_n complain_v of_o yet_o mean_v he_o not_o that_o if_o any_o wickedness_n be_v commit_v and_o not_o complain_v of_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v wink_v at_o it_o and_o dissemble_v it_o for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v offend_v and_o seek_v thereupon_o for_o justice_n he_o shall_v have_v peradventure_o some_o reasonable_a amends_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o shall_v see_v god_n offend_v you_o shall_v see_v a_o crime_n commit_v not_o against_o one_o man_n only_o but_o against_o all_o and_o yet_o no_o plaintiff_n find_v in_o this_o case_n for_o we_o know_v that_o such_o zeal_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n nay_o we_o be_v fall_v now_o into_o those_o time_n of_o which_o the_o prophet_n elias_n speak_v 19.10_o 1●_n kin._n 19.10_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o which_o stand_v uppe_o to_o maintain_v the_o quarrel_n of_o god_n and_o except_o we_o see_v that_o either_o we_o ourselves_o be_v like_a to_o sustain_v loss_n or_o may_v make_v the_o matter_n gainful_a unto_o we_o we_o withdraw_v ourselves_o our_o mouth_n be_v shut_v up_o and_o therefore_o the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o think_v themselves_o excuse_v although_o they_o have_v no_o alarm_n ring_v in_o their_o ear_n nor_o complaint_n make_v unto_o they_o for_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v watchful_a to_o punish_v such_o fault_n as_o be_v commit_v they_o ought_v to_o inquire_v after_o they_o although_o they_o be_v not_o first_o make_v privy_a unto_o they_o nevertheless_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o hear_v the_o cry_n of_o those_o which_o be_v oppress_v and_o to_o reach_v out_o their_o hand_n unto_o they_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v be_v on_o their_o side_n which_o be_v wrongful_o entreat_v &_o will_v defend_v they_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pronounce_v oftentimes_o that_o their_o cry_n be_v hear_v uppe_o into_o heaven_n 12.6_o psal._n 12.6_o now_o god_n have_v first_o declare_v that_o appoint_v such_o here_o below_o as_o shall_v execute_v justice_n in_o his_o name_n see_v he_o hear_v they_o which_o complain_v unto_o he_o from_o the_o heaven_n if_o earthly_a judge_n play_v the_o deaf_a man_n shall_v they_o escape_v for_o it_o doubtless_o nay_o the_o register_n book_n shall_v one_o day_n be_v open_v &_o god_n will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v these_o and_o these_o outrage_n and_o violence_n commit_v &_o no_o redress_n of_o they_o let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o god_n mean_v in_o this_o place_n to_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v call_v those_o which_o bear_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n to_o their_o account_n and_o reckon_v if_o they_o witting_o permit_v any_o man_n to_o be_v injure_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n nature_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o paynim_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n know_v full_a well_o that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v right_a and_o that_o he_o which_o be_v oppress_v if_o he_o have_v desire_v it_o aught_o to_o have_v justice_n do_v he_o or_o else_o that_o too_o great_a disorder_n and_o cruelty_n shall_v be_v show_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o careless_a man_n be_v in_o this_o behalf_n and_o how_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v but_o a_o little_a favour_v his_o fault_n shall_v be_v wink_v at_o and_o he_o which_o be_v beat_v or_o otherwise_o ill_o entreat_v shall_v be_v send_v away_o with_o some_o flout_n or_o other_o and_o he_o which_o offer_v he_o the_o wrong_n shall_v escape_v this_o be_v common_a to_o be_v see_v and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n have_v need_v to_o declare_v what_o interest_n himself_o have_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o put_v magistrate_n in_o mind_n that_o if_o they_o discharge_v not_o their_o duty_n faithful_o they_o have_v a_o sovereign_a judge_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o justice_n to_o appeal_v unto_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v in_o the_o end_n hold_v his_o assize_n and_o hear_v those_o cause_n handle_v which_o have_v be_v cast_v aside_o and_o bury_v as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o judge_n be_v oftentimes_o deaf_a in_o a_o poor_a man_n suit_n so_o as_o if_o he_o come_v to_o demand_v justice_n in_o deed_n there_o be_v not_o any_o that_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o say_v get_v thou_o hence_o for_o thou_o shall_v have_v no_o justice_n here_o there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v speak_v so_o impudent_o but_o some_o will_v say_v well_o put_v uppe_o your_o bill_n and_o at_o eight_o day_n end_n you_o shall_v have_v one_o give_v he_o a_o flirt_n with_o his_o finger_n to_o do_v he_o to_o wit_n thereby_o that_o he_o do_v but_o gravel_n himself_o in_o vain_a for_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o shift_n and_o so_o many_o

that_o thou_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o riot_n and_o so_o thou_o shall_v be_v punish_v thyself_o and_o therefore_o thou_o wer●_n best_o to_o put_v up_o the_o blow_n which_o thou_o have_v without_o far_o pursue_v of_o thy_o cause_n the_o judge_n all_o this_o while_n will_v not_o say_v a_o word_n they_o will_v show_v some_o good_a countenance_n like_o idol_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o give_v their_o consent_n unto_o such_o wrongful_a deal_n and_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o treachery_n that_o he_o which_o be_v molest_v and_o afflict_a after_o he_o

we_o see_v that_o this_o law_n wherein_o our_o lord_n declare_v that_o he_o will_v have_v he_o which_o complain_v hear_v and_o his_o case_n try_v be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o he_o add_v

of_o the_o holy_a thing_n and_o a_o disfeat_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n therefore_o that_o if_o we_o come_v hither_o to_o sermon_n and_o yet_o

or_o any_o reform_n of_o our_o life_n thereafter_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o god_n word_n be_v not_o name_v a_o guard_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n be_v like_o wretched_a beast_n without_o discretion_n until_o god_n have_v show_v they_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o walk_v you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v our_o guard_n or_o defence_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o keep_v god_n word_n we_o also_o shall_v be_v keep_v and_o guard_v thereby_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o bond_n certain_a so_o as_o we_o shall_v never_o err_v while_o

again_o let_v they_o observe_v it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v neither_o keep_v god_n word_n nor_o do_v it_o until_o he_o have_v write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o moses_n presuppose_v that_o god_n will_v shed_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o the_o people_n so_o they_o shut_v not_o the_o door_n against_o he_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o grace_n which_o our_o lord_n

we_o well_o remember_v what_o be_v contain_v here_o as_o thing_n that_o proceed_v not_o from_o a_o mortal_a creature_n but_o from_o god_n who_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n and_o
