reconcile_v unto_o himself_o that_o then_o be_v a_o force_a solution_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o we_o see_v what_o manner_n of_o reconcilement_n that_o of_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v i_o say_v

from_o the_o contrary_a part_n be_v invisible_a name_o that_o the_o body_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o mock_v sillye_o poor_a man_n in_o that_o they_o do_v set_v before_o they_o shadow_n moreover_o that_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o occupy_v about_o frail_a and_o corruptible_a element_n thirdlye_o that_o by_o the_o

on_o the_o contrary_a side_n although_o it_o have_v some_o fair_a show_n or_o brightness_n yet_o be_v it_o a_o vanish_v and_o frail_a show_n secondlye_o he_o account_v it_o enough_o to_o monishe_v the_o colossian_n that_o they_o be_v not_o deceive_v with_o the_o show_n of_o vain_a and_o emptye_a thing_n and_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o stand_v long_o about_o the_o disprove_v of_o they_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o common_o know_v as_o be_v a_o proverb_n among_o all_o godly_a person_n that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n must_v not_o be_v measure_v after_o our_o think_v and_o meaning_n

lowliness_n toward_o man_n that_o by_o charity_n every_o one_o submit_v himself_o unto_o other_o and_o whereas_o they_o contend_v that_o the_o wantonness_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v keep_v down_o by_o abstinence_n of_o meat_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a we_o may_v not_o therefore_o abstain_v from_o any_o certain_a kind_n of_o meat_n as_o be_v unclean_a but_o we_o must_v spare_o eat_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o feed_v of_o as_o well_o that_o we_o may_v sober_o and_o measurable_o bestow_v &_o order_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o also_o that_o we_o lie_v not_o entangle_v in_o much_o eat_n and_o

arm_v themselves_o against_o a_o false_a and_o colour_a pretence_n so_o at_o this_o day_n the_o papist_n lack_v no_o fair_a show_n wherewith_o they_o may_v commend_v and_o set_v out_o their_o law_n though_o partly_o they_o be_v ungodlye_a and_o tyrannical_a partly_o vain_a and_o trifle_a but_o when_o we_o have_v yield_v all_o unto_o they_o yet_o this_o confutation_n of_o paul_n must_v abide_v which_o be_v enough_o and_o enough_o alone_a to_o discuss_v all_o their_o vanity_n and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v how_o far_o different_a they_o be_v from_o that_o so_o honest_a a_o show_n which_o paul_n describe_v the_o principal_a holiness_n of_o the_o papacy_n at_o this_o day_n be_v in_o monkery_n but_o what_o that_o be_v i_o be_o ashamed_a and_o aggrieve_v to_o speak_v of_o jest_n i_o shall_v stir_v so_o foul_a a_o stink_n furthermore_o it_o be_v worth_a while_n here_o to_o consider_v how_o ready_o nay_o rather_o how_o hasty_o and_o headdilye_o man_n nature_n and_o disposition_n be_v carry_v into_o feign_a and_o devise_v worshippinge_n and_o service_n for_o in_o this_o place_n the_o apostle_n lively_a and_o skilfullye_o paint_v out_o the_o state_n of_o old_a

wondrous_a mad_a to_o superstition_n which_o can_v not_o be_v bridle_v with_o so_o plain_a a_o lesson_n of_o god_n but_o that_o it_o will_v break_v out_o as_o the_o history_n do_v testify_v not_o in_o any_o honour_n honour_n signify_v regard_n or_o care_n after_o the_o use_n of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n honour_n widow_n that_o be_v to_o say_v have_v regard_n of_o they_o and_o paul_n do_v dislike_v that_o that_o they_o teach_v to_o cast_v away_o the_o care_n for_o the_o body_n for_o as_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v out_o of_o measure_n cherish_v the_o body_n so_o he_o command_v to_o
