is easye also and light and a very pure gospell that is to wete a preachinge of fayth and loue deducinge the loue to God oute of faith and the loue of a mans neyghboure out of the loue of God Herin also thou mayst lerne right meditacion or contemplacyon which is nothing els saue the callynge to mynde and a repeatyng in the hert of the gloriouse aÌ„d wonderfull deades of God and of his terreble handelinge off his enemyes and mercyfull entreating of them that come when he calleth them which thinge this boke doth and almost nothinge els In the .iiij. first chaptres he reherseth the benefites of God done vnto theÌ„ to prouoke theÌ„ to loue aÌ„d his mightie deades done aboue all naturall power aÌ„d beyonde all naturall capacite of faith that they might beleue God aÌ„d trust in him and in

and that they myght se a cause to do them of loue he biddeth them remembre that they were bounde in Egipte and how God delyuered them with a mightie hande and a stretchedout arme to serue him and to kepe his commaundmentes as Paule sayeth that we are bought with Christes bloude aÌ„d therfore are his servauntes aÌ„d not oure awne aÌ„d ought to seke his will and honoure onlye aÌ„d to loue aÌ„d serue one another for his sake In the sixte he setteth out the fountayne off all commaundmentes that is that they beleue how that there is but one God that doeth all and therfore ought onlye to be loued with all the herto all the soule and all the myghte For loue only is the fulfillinge of the commaundementes as Paule also sayeth vnto the Romaynes and Galathians likewise He warneth theÌ„ also

also from all confidence in them selues and sturreth theÌ„ vp to trust in god boldlye and onlye Of the eyght chaptre thou seyst how that the cause of all temptation is that a maÌ„ might so his awne
