and_o a_o certain_a idle_a and_o vain_a dream_n of_o faith_n howsoever_o otherwise_o the_o adversary_n of_o wholesome_a doctrine_n do_v cry_v out_o against_o it_o who_o when_o as_o light_n be_v now_o

our_o adversary_n do_v say_v common_o that_o almost_o those_o only_o be_v good_a work_v which_o we_o have_v rehearse_v before_o to_o wit_n pilgrimage_n worship_v of_o image_n burn_v of_o

may_v be_v and_o which_o god_n do_v not_o prepare_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v these_o work_v we_o do_v 10._o both_o flat_o reprehend_v in_o word_n and_o remove_v in_o deed_n there_o be_v also_o beside_o these_o other_o work_v good_a exercise_n indeed_o but_o yet_o such_o as_o rather_o pertain_v to_o discipline_n and_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o body_n than_o to_o true_a godliness_n as_o abstinence_n from_o dainty_a meat_n often_o fast_n watch_n lie_v upon_o the_o bare_a ground_n the_o necessity_n of_o live_v according_a to_o the_o prescript_n of_o

out_o of_o all_o measure_n these_o work_v we_o very_o well_o like_a &_o allow_v of_o albeit_o we_o do_v not_o esteem_v and_o set_v so_o much_o by_o they_o altogether_o as_o the_o unskilful_a people_n be_v wont_v to_o do_v but_o we_o do_v far_o prefer_v before_o these_o work_v those_o which_o come_v near_a to_o true_a godliness_n of_o which_o we_o will_v speak_v hereafter_o and_o very_o the_o common_a people_n if_o they_o see_v any_o man_n lean_a with_o hunger_n break_v with_o travel_n bring_v low_o with_o watch_v do_v much_o magnify_v they_o for_o a_o opinion_n of_o holiness_n &_o by_o these_o thing_n they_o do_v esteem_v godliness_n neither_o come_v it_o seldom_o to_o pass_v but_o very_o often_o that_o work_v man_n swell_v secret_o in_o pride_n and_o be_v puff_v up_o in_o mind_n about_o that_o external_a hypocrisy_n of_o good_a work_v which_o so_o glory_v &_o boast_v itself_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n yea_o those_o same_o work_n be_v now_o &_o then_o keep_v &_o observe_v more_o superstitious_o than_o need_v and_o well_o nigh_o with_o a_o judaical_a mind_n as_o if_o in_o these_o the_o great_a godliness_n that_o can_v be_v do_v consist_v whereas_o indeed_o they_o bring_v small_a profit_n with_o they_o unless_o those_o true_a work_n be_v in_o they_o to_o which_o christ_n inculcate_v &_o beat_v into_o the_o ear_n and_o mind_n of_o his_o scholar_n and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o he_o which_o pine_v his_o body_n with_o fast_v which_o break_v it_o with_o pain_n take_v which_o corrupt_v it_o with_o watch_v which_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n abstain_v for_o

this_o hardness_n &_o austerity_n of_o life_n he_o have_v get_v he_o a_o great_a opinion_n of_o holiness_n among_o all_o man_n &_o though_o he_o wonderful_o please_v himself_o in_o these_o his_o
