for_o the_o shepherd_n be_v great_o astony_v at_o this_o marvellous_a light_n and_o celestial_a shyninge_v as_o at_o a_o unwonted_a thing_n because_o there_o be_v sudden_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o

and_o his_o work_n as_o jeremie_n say_v lewd_a and_o unsearchable_a be_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n seinge_v therefore_o our_o leudnes_n and_o vice_n be_v so_o great_a we_o shall_v of_o our_o own_o

wherefore_o circumcision_n be_v a_o example_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o singular_a obedience_n whereas_o abraham_n &_o his_o seruamte_n be_v nothing_o offend_v with_o this_o commandment_n but_o obey_v it_o without_o reason_v &_o think_v not_o thus_o that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n for_o they_o that_o be_v age_v this_o be_v peradventure_o god_n mean_v what_o if_o he_o think_v otherwise_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n shall_v be_v restrain_v &_o as_o a_o man_n will_v so_o cut_v of_o this_o be_v doubtless_o the_o true_a circumcision_n why_o shall_v god_n command_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v circumcise_v for_o what_o intent_n be_v that_o do_v but_o these_o man_n think_v not_o so_o but_o be_v

because_o i_o obey_v his_o precepte_v wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o example_n of_o steadfast_a faith_n wherewith_o abraham_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v endue_v and_o it_o be_v put_v forth_o to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v follow_v they_o and_o not_o geve_v ourselves_o to_o our_o own_o wisdom_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v deceive_v and_o this_o have_v we_o speak_v as_o touch_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o jew_n day_n which_o have_v no_o long_a power_n than_o the_o law_n itself_o that_o be_v unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v signify_v in_o that_o yâ—_z child_n be_v circumcise_v

it_o for_o our_o sake_n for_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o a_o man_n that_o be_v without_o sin_n and_o that_o shall_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o we_o and_o so_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o

true_a faith_n obtain_v by_o he_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n and_o damnation_n thereof_o wherefore_o remember_v well_o this_o difference_n for_o all_o the_o matter_n rest_v therein_o abraham_n be_v subject_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o circumcision_n because_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o the_o law_n have_v power_n on_o he_o for_o sin_n but_o christ_n be_v no_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o

that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o he_o will_v procure_v they_o peace_n and_o salvation_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o after_o this_o lesson_n &_o doctrine_n which_o be_v call_v the_o doctrine_n of_o

misery_n and_o calamity_n no_o less_o then_o with_o our_o own_o as_o when_o i_o have_v a_o neighbour_n that_o be_v needy_a or_o sycke_n i_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v faith_n but_o i_o must_v be_v sorry_a for_o his_o misery_n and_o that_o at_o my_o very_a heart_n as_o though_o it_o be_v min_fw-mi own_o evil_a as_o this_o be_v put_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o christ._n he_o be_v in_o this_o place_n as_o a_o foreiner_n and_o stranger_n but_o when_o he_o see_v the_o misery_n of_o this_o widow_n he_o be_v asmuch_o greve_v as_o though_o it_o be_v his_o own_o son_n he_o

we_o ought_v not_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o after_o the_o example_n of_o certain_a merciless_a people_n which_o have_v stony_a and_o iron_n heart_n &_o laugh_v at_o their_o neighbour_n misery_n and_o be_v greve_v at_o their_o prosperity_n the_o affection_n of_o christian_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v otherwise_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v greve_v at_o other_o man_n misfortune_n &_o glad_a at_o their_o

help_n &_o can_v not_o help_v then selue_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a evil_a when_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o peril_n sin_n as_o when_o i_o see_v a_o young_a man_n void_a of_o all_o holiness_n &_o care_v nothing_o for_o religion_n holy_a doctrine_n but_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n &_o live_v wtout_fw-fr any_o discipline_n or_o order_n fierce_a stubborn_a obstinate_a here_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o pity_n not_o to_o speak_v fair_a &_o gentle_a word_n unto_o he_o but_o to_o chide_v he_o &_o sharp_o rebuke_v he_o yea_o &_o rather_o to_o beat_v he_o or_o strike_v he_o for_o there_o be_v great_a peril_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v disease_v with_o such_o evil_n than_o when_o the_o body_n be_v sick_a of_o any_o disease_n wherefore_o we_o must_v let_v nothing_o pass_v

some_o part_n of_o the_o body_n that_o the_o hole_n body_n may_v be_v save_v and_o so_o be_v it_o also_o as_o concern_v this_o pity_n for_o such_o chastisement_n be_v do_v to_o see_v to_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o devil_n &_o from_o his_o kingdom_n similitude_n he_z that_o be_v almost_o drown_v in_o a_o flood_n take_v it_o for_o no_o wrong_n if_o he_o be_v pluck_v out_o by_o the_o hear_v although_o it_o be_v do_v to_o his_o great_a grief_n and_o pain_n wherefore_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o refuse_v in_o the_o bodily_a evile_v to_o suffer_v a_o little_a pain_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o great_a peril_n why_o shouldeste_v thou_o in_o a_o more_o dangerous_a peril_n of_o soul_n and_o everla_a life_n take_v grevous_o such_o chastisement_n as_o

wherefore_o punyshemente_n be_v very_a work_n of_o pity_n seem_v they_o never_o so_o cruel_a and_o bitter_a to_o a_o man_n sight_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o this_o punyshment_n and_o sharp_a
