i_o come_v i_o hear_v that_o your_o honour_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o peace_n &_o unquiet_a to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o et_fw-la ex_fw-la consequenti_fw-la you_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n when_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n depart_v from_o his_o disciple_n among_o other_o gift_n which_o he_o give_v they_o and_o free_a mercy_n bestow_v upon_o they_o he_o give_v they_o his_o peace_n and_o it_o be_v neither_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o that_o of_o judas_n for_o these_o be_v peace_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n unwoorthy_o call_v peace_n but_o such_o a_o peace_n as_o be_v a_o pledge_n of_o blessedness_n bless_a be_v the_o peacemaker_n say_v the_o gospel_n i_o may_v allege_v many_o place_n to_o show_v how_o grateful_a that_o peace_n be_v 5._o unto_o god_n and_o they_o that_o love_v it_o and_o how_o he_o abhor_v the_o contemner_n thereof_o and_o so_o i_o admonish_v your_o honour_n to_o clothe_v yourself_o with_o peace_n and_o let_v it_o be_v that_o of_o christ_n which_o save_v and_o not_o that_o of_o judas_n which_o betray_v nor_o that_o of_o the_o world_n which_o kill_v to_o the_o second_o that_o i_o be_o inform_v you_o be_v troublesome_a i_o answer_v that_o if_o for_o the_o first_o you_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n that_o by_o this_o you_o be_v the_o like_a unto_o heaven_n and_o for_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n you_o must_v understand_v that_o of_o divers_a sense_n divers_a be_v the_o object_n so_o that_o according_a to_o aristotle_n one_o sense_n can_v judge_v direct_o aristotle_n of_o the_o object_n of_o a_o other_o sense_n for_o the_o taste_n judge_v not_o of_o the_o colour_n nor_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o taste_n rather_o behold_v sugar_n we_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v white_a and_o taste_v it_o we_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v sweet_a so_o they_o that_o have_v the_o earth_n for_o object_n can_v judge_v well_o of_o heaven_n and_o they_o who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n comprehend_v not_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o spirit_n &_o they_o that_o go_v entangle_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n and_o seat_v in_o their_o wile_n attain_v not_o the_o delectation_n of_o spiritual_a repose_n such_o be_v your_o

itself_o open_v your_o eye_n and_o behold_v that_o much_o self_n trust_n grow_v not_o but_o of_o small_a knowledge_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o first_o degree_n for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v little_a be_v to_o suppose_v that_o he_o know_v much_o i_o hold_v that_o for_o a_o most_o certainty_n which_o saint_n hierom_n say_v hierom._n that_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o imperfection_n be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o perfection_n in_o a_o man_n regard_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o small_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o he_o know_v nothing_o and_o if_o your_o honour_n know_v this_o of_o yourself_o you_o will_v become_v peaceable_a and_o live_v a_o quiet_a life_n and_o so_o be_v account_v quiet_a where_o the_o river_n go_v still_a there_o have_v it_o most_o water_n and_o be_v deep_a and_o where_o it_o make_v most_o noise_n there_o have_v it_o least_o water_n so_o the_o quiet_a and_o still_a man_n be_v of_o great_a depth_n and_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v and_o account_v of_o
