to_o be_v do_v which_o christ_n have_v prohibit_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o difficulty_n be_v that_o see_v god_n no_o long_o speak_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n and_o his_o prophet_n in_o open_a voice_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o by_o divers_a man_n be_v diverse_o understand_v they_o know_v indeed_o what_o prince_n and_o a_o congregat_v church_n do_v command_v but_o whether_o that_o

that_o he_o can_v obey_v it_o without_o hazard_n of_o his_o aeternnll_a salvation_n it_o be_v unjust_a not_o to_o obey_v they_o and_o the_o apostle_n precept_n take_v place_n servant_n in_o all_o

to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v punish_v with_o eternal_a death_n it_o be_v madness_n not_o rather_o to_o choose_v to_o die_v a_o natural_a death_n then_o by_o obey_v to_o die_v eternal_o and_o

those_o thing_n be_v which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n ii_o now_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n obedience_n be_v comprehend_v in_o two_o virtue_n faith_n and_o obedience_n the_o latter_a of_o these_o if_o it_o can_v be_v perfect_a will_v alone_o suffice_v to_o preserve_v we_o from_o damnation_n but_o because_o we_o have_v all_o of_o we_o be_v long_o since_o guilty_a of_o

article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v know_v in_o what_o point_v obedience_n do_v consist_v and_o which_o be_v the_o necessary_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n it_o will_v at_o once_o be_v manifest_a what_o we_o must_v do_v and_o what_o abstain_v from_o at_o the_o command_n of_o city_n and_o of_o prince_n iii_o but_o by_o obedience_n in_o this_o
it_o and_o who_o be_v strong_a must_v be_v decide_v by_o the_o sword_n vii_o among_o so_o many_o danger_n therefore_o right_n as_o the_o natural_a lust_n of_o man_n do_v daily_o threaten_v each_o

from_o death_n and_o sorrow_n but_o that_o which_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o right_a reason_n that_o all_o man_n account_v to_o be_v do_v just_o and_o with_o right_n neither_o by_o the_o word_n
