therefore_o to_o omit_v this_o relief_n must_v needs_o increase_v a_o scarcity_n of_o victual_n diverse_a and_o sundry_a way_n furthermore_o some_o man_n more_o rash_a than_o true_a in_o their_o judgement_n will_v not_o only_o think_v but_o say_v he_o that_o thus_o earnest_o persuade_v for_o a_o abstinence_n from_o flesh_n be_v either_o one_o of_o these_o three_o that_o follow_v or_o all_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o superstitious_a person_n a_o hypocrite_n or_o a_o papist_n and_o first_o he_o be_v account_v a_o superstitious_a person_n for_o that_o he_o be_v a_o forbidder_fw-mi of_o meat_n persuade_v the_o people_n thereunto_o and_o make_v conscience_n where_o no_o cause_n of_o conscience_n be_v esteem_v that_o unlawful_a which_o be_v not_o by_o god_n forbid_v herein_o such_o rash_a giver_n of_o judgement_n be_v great_o deceive_v for_o in_o truth_n he_o be_v a_o forbidder_fw-mi of_o meat_n that_o forbid_v it_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o respect_n like_v as_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n some_o superstitious_a jew_n persuade_v the_o christian_n but_o forbid_v of_o the_o use_n at_o certain_a time_n appoint_v by_o lawful_a authority_n do_v for_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v not_o a_o utter_a forbid_v of_o the_o thing_n the_o cause_n and_o reason_n be_v consider_v and_o therefore_o no_o conscience_n to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o kind_n or_o nature_n of_o the_o meat_n but_o for_o the_o commodity_n of_o those_o for_o who_o cause_n it_o be_v forbear_v or_o forbid_v and_o so_o the_o meat_n be_v not_o unlawful_a but_o the_o use_v unlawful_a be_v eat_v at_o a_o time_n forbid_v by_o such_o as_o have_v authority_n from_o god_n to_o forbid_v it_o do_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o people_n for_o although_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o spend_v or_o use_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o come_v lawful_o by_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o spend_v or_o use_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o come_v unlawful_o by_o for_o then_o the_o commandment_n be_v transgress_v so_o although_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o eat_v flesh_n at_o all_o time_n as_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n give_v for_o the_o sustenance_n of_o man_n it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o eat_v the_o same_o at_o time_n forbid_v by_o lawful_a authority_n for_o therein_o god_n ordinance_n be_v contemn_v and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o people_n neglect_v second_o some_o perhaps_o may_v name_v he_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n because_o he_o will_v not_o eat_v flesh_n on_o such_o day_n that_o he_o may_v seem_v holy_a and_o one_o that_o more_o care_v for_o his_o salvation_n then_o other_o people_n as_o think_v to_o obtain_v the_o same_o by_o abstain_v from_o eat_a flesh_n on_o a_o few_o prescribe_a day_n and_o time_n but_o of_o wise_a man_n this_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o hypocrisy_n be_v privy_a sin_n couch_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o intention_n of_o man_n and_o although_o judgement_n may_v be_v give_v in_o or_o by_o the_o deal_n of_o some_o person_n yet_o in_o truth_n the_o thing_n can_v be_v general_o discern_v in_o any_o man_n but_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n only_o for_o what_o virtue_n soever_o any_o person_n use_v if_o it_o be_v do_v for_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n and_o not_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o duty_n which_o god_n require_v be_v none_o other_o but_o flat_a hypocrisy_n for_o example_n who_o so_o accustome_v to_o read_v or_o hear_v the_o holy_a scripture_n preach_v and_o teach_v with_o a_o show_n of_o holiness_n thereby_o to_o be_v praise_v of_o man_n and_o not_o learn_v to_o live_v or_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n according_a to_o the_o same_o he_o may_v be_v account_v a_o mere_a hypocrite_n nevertheless_o the_o read_n and_o hear_v of_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o hypocrisy_n but_o be_v unfeigned_o and_o right_o do_v be_v the_o lively_a nourishment_n and_o food_n of_o man_n soul_n so_o abstinence_n from_o flesh_n be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v hypocrisy_n when_o it_o be_v do_v for_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n &_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o law_n and_o duty_n which_o god_n require_v of_o every_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v towards_o his_o neighbour_n three_o he_o be_v call_v a_o papist_n for_o that_o say_v some_o also_o he_o think_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o abstain_v from_o eat_v of_o flesh_n &_o do_v like_a &_o allow_v of_o those_o law_n and_o device_n make_v and_o use_v in_o the_o time_n of_o papistry_n and_o by_o ancient_a authority_n of_o the_o pope_n who_o we_o shall_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n imitate_v but_o rather_o in_o all_o thing_n be_v contrary_a here_o may_v be_v say_v be_v zeal_n without_o knowledge_n understand_v blind_v
