but_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o glory_n but_o the_o glory_n be_v not_o with_o god_n but_o with_o man_n and_o why_o with_o man_n very_o because_o he_o have_v the_o bodily_a sign_n &_o note_n

his_o justification_n when_o he_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o prescript_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n wherefore_o if_o abraham_n the_o holy_a patriarche_n do_v not_o obtain_v his_o justification_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o circumcision_n but_o before_o circumcision_n by_o the_o commendation_n and_o dignity_n of_o faith_n i_o wonder_v how_o it_o chance_v that_o the_o jew_n trust_v so_o much_o in_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n law_n unto_o who_o it_o be_v give_v but_o for_o a_o time_n also_o i_o great_o marvel_v why_o the_o gentile_n use_v so_o many_o superstitious_a ceremony_n see_v they_o

itself_o this_o be_v then_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v mortal_a as_o be_v the_o husband_n to_o the_o wife_n it_o can_v be_v no_o wonder_n to_o the_o true_a

because_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v such_o that_o it_o most_o lust_v after_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o forbid_v it_o how_o be_v it_o before_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n come_v many_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o know_v not_o and_o some_o of_o they_o we_o know_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o they_o be_v not_o forbid_v we_o through_o which_o reason_n all_o we_o have_v the_o less_o regard_n to_o consider_v what_o be_v lust_n to_o sin_n in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o we_o by_o nature_n set_v small_a store_n by_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o think_v we_o may_v have_v at_o our_o will_n and_o commandment_n wherefore_o after_o the_o law_n have_v once_o set_v forth_o the_o multitude_n of_o sin_n to_o our_o face_n and_o do_v forbid_v they_o to_o we_o then_o we_o be_v the_o more_o greedy_a to_o spot_v and_o defile_v ourselves_o with_o the_o commit_n of_o they_o by_o which_o occasion_n sin_n take_v to_o himself_o strength_n and_o encouragement_n in_o we_o which_o before_o the_o come_n of_o the_o law_n lay_v and_o sleep_v &_o be_v as_o dead_a at_o which_o time_n i_o myself_o when_o i_o know_v not_o the_o law_n i_o lead_v my_o life_n like_o a_o

sin_n they_o my_o sin_n begin_v to_o wax_v stout_a and_o to_o abound_v in_o i_o and_o to_o take_v the_o bridle_n in_o his_o tooth_n which_o fare_v thus_o foul_a with_o i_o whereas_o before_o i_o

it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v provide_v i_o of_o god_n for_o my_o health_n be_v make_v to_o i_o a_o occasion_n of_o my_o death_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o through_o any_o

lust_n also_o take_v some_o occasion_n by_o the_o law_n itself_o because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o man_n do_v most_o common_o lust_n after_o that_o which_o be_v forbid_v they_o i_o be_v then_o even_o full_a of_o all_o greediness_n to_o sin_n and_o thus_o the_o devil_n use_v that_o wicked_o which_o of_o itself_o be_v good_a entice_v i_o unto_o sin_n by_o occasion_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o

then_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o any_o man_n shall_v contemn_v or_o deprave_v the_o law_n which_o as_o
it_o be_v give_v of_o god_n who_o be_v always_o perfect_o good_a of_o himself_o so_o it_o propone_a and_o set_v forth_o unto_o all_o man_n good_a and_o wholesome_a ensignement_n 2._o for_o it_o can_v
