charity_n whereas_o the_o law_n consist_v of_o two_o table_n of_o which_z the_o first_o be_v a_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n &_o the_o duty_n of_o godliness_n &_o the_o late_a be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o love_n or_o charity_n for_o it_o be_v a_o absurdity_n to_o make_v of_o the_o part_n the_o whole_a some_o in_o expound_v this_o place_n wind_n away_o on_o this_o fashion_n say_v that_o no_o other_o thing_n be_v teach_v in_o the_o first_o table_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o hart_n but_o paul_n do_v plain_o speak_v of_o charity_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n than_o must_v we_o seek_v another_o solution_n that_o be_v strong_a i_o grant_v that_o piety_n towards_o god_n stand_v before_o love_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o observe_v or_o keep_v of_o the_o first_o table_n be_v of_o more_o weight_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o of_o the_o late_a but_o piety_n or_o godliness_n be_v a_o thing_n hide_v from_o the_o sense_n or_o understanding_n of_o man_n as_o god_n himself_o be_v invisible_a and_o though_o ceremony_n be_v ordain_v to_o testify_v the_o same_o i_o mean_v godliness_n yet_o be_v they_o no_o sure_a proof_n thereof_o for_o often_o it_o happen_v that_o none_o be_v more_o stout_a and_o busy_a observer_n of_o ceremony_n than_o be_v hypocrite_n god_n therefore_o will_v take_v a_o trial_n of_o our_o affection_n towards_o he_o by_o our_o love_n towards_o our_o brethren_n which_o he_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o one_o towards_o another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o love_n be_v call_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n not_o only_o in_o this_o place_n but_o also_o ro._n 13.8_o not_o because_o it_o excel_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n but_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o confirmation_n thereof_o i_o say_v even_o now_o that_o god_n be_v invisible_a but_o he_o manife_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o our_o brother_n and_o require_v in_o the_o person_n of_o they_o that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o himself_o love_n therefore_o towards_o man_n rise_v not_o but_o of_o the_o fear_n and_o love_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o the_o effect_n contayn_v by_o the_o figure_n synecdoche_n under_o it_o the_o cause_n whereof_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o shall_v go_v to_o work_v disorderly_a whatsoever_o he_o be_v that_o seperate_v the_o love_n of_o god_n from_o the_o love_n of_o man_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v love_v must_v yield_v unto_o every_o one_o his_o right_n he_o will_v do_v wrong_a to_o no_o man_n he_o will_v hurt_v no_o man_n he_o will_v do_v good_a to_o all_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n for_o what_o else_o be_v speak_v off_o in_o all_o the_o second_o table_n and_o this_o reason_n also_o do_v paul_n bring_v out_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n final_o under_o the_o name_n of_o neighbour_n be_v all_o man_n contain_v for_o the_o nature_n that_o be_v common_a both_o to_o pore_v and_o scotfree_a do_v join_v we_o and_o make_v we_o one_o as_o esay_n warn_v cha_fw-mi 58.7_o despise_v not_o thy_o own_o flesh_n but_o special_o the_o image_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v a_o most_o holy_a band_n of_o knit_v we_o together_o and_o therefore_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n of_o friend_n and_o foe_n neither_o may_v the_o ungratiousnesse_n of_o man_n wipe_v out_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n this_o parcel_n as_o thyself_o mean_v thus_o much_o as_o everye_o man_n be_v bend_v by_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o love_v himself_o so_o be_v commend_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n the_o love_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n they_o overthrow_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o expound_v they_o not_o who_o gather_v thereof_o as_o all_o the_o sorboniste_n do_v that_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o be_v always_o first_o in_o order_n because_o the_o thing_n rule_v aught_o to_o be_v inferior_a to_o that_o which_o rule_v or_o be_v the_o rule_n they_o be_v ass_n and_o have_v not_o a_o crumb_n of_o charity_n for_o if_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o be_v a_o rule_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v right_a and_o holy_a and_o allow_v before_o god_n but_o never_o shall_v we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n sincere_o and_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n until_o we_o have_v amend_v and_o correct_v that_o same_o love_n of_o ourselves_o for_o the_o affection_n be_v contrary_a and_o disagree_a when_o as_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o engender_v as_o well_o the_o neglect_v as_o the_o contemn_v of_o other_o engender_v cruelty_n be_v the_o fountain_n and_o wellspring_n of_o covetousness_n rapine_n deceit_n and_o of_o all_o such_o like_a mischief_n enforce_v we_o to_o impatiency_n and_o arm_v we_o with_o the_o desire_n of_o revenge_n therefore_o the_o lord_n require_v this_o that_o it_o may_v be_v change_v into_o love_n 15_o if_o you_o bite_v and_o devour_v a_o man_n may_v conjecture_v as_o well_o by_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o also_o by_o the_o word_n that_o the_o galathian_o strive_v and_o be_v at_o oddde_n among_o themselves_o for_o that_o they_o do_v disagree_v in_o doctrine_n he_o now_o declare_v by_o the_o end_n of_o such_o deal_n how_o deadly_a a_o evil_a strife_n be_v in_o the_o church_n moreover_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o the_o lord_n by_o false_a doctrine_n have_v revenge_v their_o ambition_n loftiness_n and_o other_o their_o vice_n as_o he_o be_v accustom_v and_o also_o testify_v by_o moses_n deut._n 13._o for_o 2._o by_o bytinge_n and_o devour_v he_o mean_v in_o my_o judgement_n both_o hateful_a slander_n accusation_n taunt_n and_o such_o like_a brawl_n and_o also_o injury_n and_o wrong_n do_v by_o fraud_n or_o violence_n what_o be_v the_o end_n hereof_o at_o the_o length_n consume_a or_o devour_v say_v he_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o charity_n that_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v defend_v and_o preserve_v another_o i_o will_v to_o god_n this_o will_v always_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o devil_n do_v procure_v we_o unto_o contention_n namely_o that_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v come_v of_o the_o inward_a dissension_n of_o the_o member_n but_o a_o destruction_n and_o consumption_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o what_o a_o wretched_a and_o mad_a thing_n be_v it_o that_o we_o who_o be_v member_n of_o one_o body_n do_v

no_o small_a evil_n we_o must_v therefore_o diligent_o prevent_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o it_o be_v at_o hand_n but_o what_o be_v the_o mean_a or_o the_o way_n forsooth_o if_o the_o flesh_n have_v not_o dominion_n in_o we_o but_o that_o we_o give_v ourselves_o to_o be_v govern_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o he_o do_v withal_o show_v that_o the_o galathian_o be_v carnal_a and_o void_a of_o god_n his_o spirit_n for_o that_o they_o lead_v such_o a_o life_n as_o become_v not_o christian_n for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o one_o of_o they_o wound_v another_o but_o because_o they_o be_v

mean_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n although_o they_o be_v as_o yet_o endanger_v unto_o vice_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v oppress_v with_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o be_v they_o
