therefore_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o show_v it_o by_o our_o deed_n and_o by_o proof_n even_o by_o frame_v our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o will_n now_o hereupon_o we_o may_v

thou_o shall_v obey_v thy_o god_n thou_o shall_v fear_v thy_o god_n and_o so_o he_o do_v in_o other_o text_n and_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o love_n and_o why_o to_o show_v that_o if_o our_o serve_v of_o he_o be_v by_o constreint_a so_o as_o we_o go_v to_o it_o against_o our_o will_n though_o we_o honour_v he_o never_o so_o much_o

he_o utter_o disalow_v it_o and_o such_o service_n be_v not_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o for_o he_o love_v he_o that_o give_v with_o a_o free_a will_n and_o pure_a affection_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n

and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o
that_o man_n make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o do_v all_o man_n bear_v in_o mind_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n name_n when_o they_o sit_v down_o to_o the_o table_n or_o when_o they_o have_v take_v

they_o but_o to_o their_o seem_n it_o be_v a_o spice_n of_o moonkish_a hypocrisy_n or_o popeholinesse_n to_o thank_v god_n loe_o how_o far_o the_o world_n be_v out_o of_o square_a howbeit_o when_o

we_o be_v double_a unhappy_a for_o what_o will_v we_o do_v in_o the_o great_a thing_n if_o we_o can_v perform_v the_o lesser_a for_o this_o manner_n of_o call_v upon_o god_n be_v as_o good_a as_o

if_o man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n in_o the_o lesser_a thing_n as_o in_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o their_o hand_n and_o in_o yield_v some_o praise_n unto_o god_n

benefit_n be_v a_o ordinary_a vice_n but_o although_o it_o be_v so_o yet_o fail_v they_o not_o to_o be_v blameworthy_a for_o it_o neither_o let_v we_o think_v to_o justify_v or_o excuse_v ourselves_o

here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o be_v full_o feed_v we_o shall_v then_o think_v upon_o god_n thâ—t_o be_v to_o say_v yield_v he_o his_o due_a praise_n be_v no_o more_o than_o need_v

which_o even_o little_a child_n ought_v to_o know_v for_o see_v he_o be_v so_o liberal_a as_o to_o feed_v we_o and_o to_o nourish_v we_o let_v we_o at_o the_o least_o call_v he_o our_o father_n and_o

to_o y_z t_z thing_n which_o even_o nature_n ought_v to_o have_v teach_v us._n but_o if_o we_o continue_v welter_v still_o in_o that_o brutishness_n what_o excuse_n will_v there_o remain_v for_o we_o

that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v lead_v away_o unto_o wickedness_n whatsoever_o betide_v also_o we_o hear_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v when_o he_o arm_v we_o against_o all_o spiritual_a battle_n that_o

read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o to_o receive_v the_o thing_n as_o true_a which_o be_v tell_v we_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n but_o also_o to_o be_v so_o full_o

when_o we_o have_v once_o understand_v you_o e_o thing_n y_o it_o have_v be_v tell_v we_o and_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n let_v we_o not_o imagine_v ourselves_o to_o have_v a_o perfect_a

as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n if_o we_o then_o dally_v with_o he_o and_o shroud_v ourselves_o by_o shift_n and_o suttlety_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v we_o be_v not_o

the_o keep_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o that_o we_o must_v special_o observe_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n will_v we_o prove_v our_o obedience_n towards_o god_n the_o way_n to_o do_v it_o be_v not_o by_o ceremony_n but_o to_o seek_v out_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o meaning_n and_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o thereunto_o for_o man_n will_v take_v good_a heed_n to_o the_o worldewarde_n that_o they_o offend_v not_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v be_v punish_v and_o if_o a_o man_n can_v find_v some_o pretty_a shift_n to_o excuse_v himself_o withal_o when_o he_o come_v before_o the_o judge_n he_o think_v all_o his_o do_n to_o be_v justifiable_a enough_o a_o man_n then_o will_v make_v no_o conscience_n to_o offend_v so_o he_o have_v wherewith_o to_o hide_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v reprove_v and_o that_o he_o can_v say_v as_o for_o i_o i_o understand_v it_o not_o so_o the_o law_n say_v not_o so_o he_o find_v out_o some_o little_a word_n that_o carry_v a_o show_n of_o contrariety_n to_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o law_n and_o set_v a_o counterfeit_a construction_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o have_v well_o ridded_a his_o hand_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o be_v clear_a of_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a to_o have_v observe_v the_o law_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o man_n can_v find_v no_o fault_n with_o we_o but_o that_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v to_o live_v sound_o &_o round_o according_o as_o we_o see_v here_o that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o in_o the_o seven_o year_n

it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o utter_o transgress_v this_o order_n but_o yet_o they_o think_v it_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o discharge_v themselves_o of_o the_o ceremony_n and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n may_v well_o hold_v himself_o content_v with_o such_o disguise_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o chief_a thing_n be_v leave_v undo_v for_o the_o

be_v never_o the_o more_o relieve_v and_o all_o under_o colour_n that_o man_n can_v not_o recover_v that_o which_o they_o have_v lend_v we_o see_v then_o how_o man_n will_v always_o appease_v god_n

nor_o to_o deal_v cruel_o with_o they_o but_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o friendliness_n use_v among_o themselves_o because_o that_o beside_o the_o kindred_n that_o

of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n as_o though_o god_n have_v lay_v the_o bridle_n on_o their_o neck_n and_o have_v no_o more_o care_n of_o the_o gentyle_n than_o of_o

of_o quarrel_n which_o else_o will_v be_v endless_a between_o man_n and_o man_n the_o solution_n be_v very_o easy_a namely_o that_o if_o a_o man_n stand_v against_o a_o definitive_a sentence_n his_o

his_o meaning_n be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o modesty_n nor_o humanity_n among_o man_n therefore_o ought_v he_o to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o enemy_n to_o all_o goodness_n and_o according_a

he_o it_o be_v very_o meet_v therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v grievous_o punish_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o think_v that_o see_v god_n do_v we_o the_o favour_n to_o let_v we_o have_v the_o
