to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o themselves_o never_o do_v nor_o ever_o mean_v to_o do_v and_o yet_o must_v no_o man_n tell_v they_o thereof_o for_o if_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v be_v sure_a quick_o to_o

they_o bear_v sway_n and_o as_o butcherlie_a tyrant_n reign_n and_o command_v most_o imperious_o it_o be_v therefore_o very_o expedient_a and_o requisite_a that_o the_o lattie_n and_o simple_a sort_n

must_v needs_o lie_v now_o that_o christ_n shall_v lie_v it_o be_v impossible_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n that_o be_v the_o li_a ruffian_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o only_o a_o

admonition_n of_o this_o epistle_n this_o order_n require_v s._n peter_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o young_a sort_n be_v dutiful_a and_o obeisaunt_a to_o their_o elder_n and_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n the_o inferior_n show_v submission_n towards_o their_o better_n which_o if_o it_o be_v now_o adays_o observe_v and_o put_v in_o ure_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v so_o many_o law_n for_o he_o require_v of_o the_o young_a sort_n their_o obedience_n towards_o their_o elder_n and_o willyngnesse_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o direction_n of_o their_o wisdom_n for_o that_o they_o best_a know_v what_o be_v most_o please_a to_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v most_o redound_v to_o their_o commendation_n and_o praise_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o such_o elder_n as_o be_v learn_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v godly_a experience_v for_o if_o they_o theimselue_n he_o not_o endue_v with_o godly_a wisdom_n but_o be_v sottishe_a and_o foolish_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o they_o can_v any_o way_n well_o govern_v other_o but_o of_o such_o as_o be_v discrete_a and_o wise_a it_o be_v most_o expedient_a and_o convenient_a the_o youth_n shall_v be_v govern_v and_o saint_n peter_n here_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o civil_a administration_n and_o government_n of_o the_o commonwealthe_n but_o he_o speak_v general_o namely_o that_o they_o which_o be_v elder_n either_o in_o year_n or_o by_o office_n or_o any_o way_n else_o shall_v train_v up_o and_o govern_v the_o young_a sort_n in_o their_o duty_n and_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o submit_v yourselves_o every_o man_n one_o to_o a_o other_o deck_v yourselves_o inwardlie_a in_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n here_o he_o somewhat_o temper_v and_o qualifi_v his_o word_n speak_v afore_o require_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v submit_v themselves_o one_o to_o a_o other_o but_o how_o can_v this_o well_o agree_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v submit_v themselves_o one_o to_o a_o other_o if_o the_o superiority_n and_o government_n be_v to_o be_v give_v as_o be_v afore_o say_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o elder_a sort_n some_o will_v say_v that_o peter_n in_o that_o former_a sentence_n speak_v of_o elder_n and_o here_o in_o this_o place_n only_o of_o the_o young_a sort_n who_o ought_v to_o submit_v themselves_o first_o to_o their_o elder_n and_o next_o one_o to_o a_o other_o but_o we_o will_v take_v these_o word_n as_o speak_v in_o a_o generality_n even_o as_o that_o sentence_n of_o s._n paul_n roma_n xij_o in_o give_v of_o honour_n one_o

and_o without_o respect_n the_o young_a ought_v to_o be_v obedient_a &_o submissaunt_a unto_o the_o elder_a but_o yet_o so_o that_o the_o elder_a may_v not_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v lord_n
