they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imitate_v because_o they_o can_v be_v just_a and_o second_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o conscience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o example_n of_o man_n but_o from_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n they_o be_v man_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v fall_v but_o these_o slip_n of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o godly_a life_n as_o blemish_n in_o a_o beautiful_a face_n which_o we_o be_v to_o behold_v as_o evidence_n of_o humane_a frailty_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v more_o wary_a and_o circumspect_a and_o not_o to_o imitate_v they_o as_o example_n in_o the_o three_o place_n they_o urge_v certain_a case_n wherein_o if_o we_o shall_v hold_v it_o unlawful_a to_o lie_v they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a doctrine_n and_o which_o can_v be_v bear_v for_o first_o say_v they_o see_v the_o most_o man_n now_o adays_o be_v ready_a for_o every_o petty_a commodity_n to_o lie_v it_o be_v to_o great_a simplicity_n if_o not_o folly_n if_o to_o compass_v great_a

christ_n 36._o what_o will_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o loose_v his_o own_o soul_n as_o the_o lie_a tongue_n cast_v away_o the_o soul_n but_o these_o

what_o if_o our_o own_o or_o our_o brother_n life_n be_v endanger_v may_v be_v redeem_v by_o a_o lie_n shall_v it_o not_o be_v lawful_a in_o that_o case_n to_o lie_v i_o answer_v with_o augustine_n that_o death_n which_o foolish_a man_n do_v fear_n who_o fear_v not_o to_o sin_n kill_v the_o body_n and_o not_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o lie_a tongue_n slay_v the_o soul_n it_o be_v therefore_o most_o perverse_o say_v that_o the_o one_o ought_v spiritual_o to_o die_v that_o the_o other_o may_v corporal_o live_v see_v therefore_o by_o lie_v eternal_a life_n be_v lose_v we_o may_v not_o lie_v
