of_o the_o reason_n move_v we_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o this_o counsel_n for_o we_o must_v cast_v down_o ourselves_o before_o the_o lord_n who_o as_o he_o be_v most_o liberal_a to_o we_o most_o

that_o time_n i_o apply_v medicine_n to_o they_o both_o now_o follow_v the_o second_o note_n cast_v down_o not_o other_o but_o yourselves_o which_o devide_v itself_o into_o two_o part_n 1._o cast_v down_o not_o other_o 2._o but_o yourselves_o cast_v down_o not_o other_o for_o that_o be_v injury_n &_o you_o may_v not_o do_v it_o but_o yourselves_o for_o that_o be_v humility_n and_o you_o must_v

so_o then_o that_o you_o do_v no_o injury_n to_o any_o but_o deal_v charitable_o with_o all_o out_o of_o the_o first_o part_n you_o may_v learn_v three_o thing_n 1_o not_o to_o disgrace_v your_o

other_o as_o for_o the_o second_o part_n it_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o three_o general_a note_n where_o it_o may_v most_o fit_o be_v consider_v for_o you_o must_v cast_v down_o yourselves_o not_o before_o man_n but_o before_o the_o lord_n cast_v down_o not_o other_o the_o first_o thing_n we_o learn_v here_o be_v not_o to_o to_o disgrace_v our_o neighbour_n we_o that_o be_v christian_n and_o

make_v a_o good_a or_o a_o bad_a life_n but_o a_o good_a or_o a_o bad_a love_n if_o therefore_o we_o will_v to_o heaven_n by_o the_o right_a way_n we_o must_v be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n we_o must_v be_v frame_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o gospellike_a perfection_n we_o must_v love_v not_o our_o friend_n only_o in_o god_n but_o our_o foe_n also_o for_o god_n we_o presume_v that_o
