chastity_n remain_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o just_a man_n there_o ought_v a_o evil_a cogitation_n never_o to_o arise_v 2_o and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o lord_n permit_v i_o to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n with_o thou_o speak_v say_v he_o and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o lord_n if_o any_o shall_v have_v a_o wife_n faithful_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o shall_v find_v she_o in_o adultery_n do_v the_o husband_n sin_n if_o he_o live_v together_o with_o she_o and_o he_o say_v to_o i_o 3_o as_o long_o as_o he_o know_v not_o her_o sin_n the_o husband_n be_v without_o blame_n dwell_v together_o with_o she_o but_o if_o the_o husband_n shall_v know_v his_o wife_n to_o have_v transgress_v and_o the_o wife_n shall_v not_o do_v repentance_n and_o remain_v in_o her_o fornication_n and_o the_o husband_n live_v with_o she_o he_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o her_o sin_n &_o partaker_n of_o her_o adultery_n and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o what_o then_o if_o the_o woman_n shall_v continue_v in_o her_o fault_n and_o he_o say_v let_v the_o husband_n send_v she_o away_o and_o let_v the_o husband_n remain_v by_o himself_o but_o if_o he_o shall_v send_v away_o his_o wife_n and_o shall_v marry_v another_o he_o also_o commit_v adultery_n 4_o and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o what_o if_o the_o woman_n put_v away_o shall_v do_v repentance_n and_o will_v be_v return_v to_o her_o husband_n shall_v she_o not_o be_v receive_v by_o her_o husband_n and_o he_o say_v to_o i_o yea_o if_o her_o husband_n shall_v not_o receive_v she_o he_o sin_v and_o admit_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o ought_v to_o receive_v she_o a_o sinner_n who_o have_v do_v repenpentance_n but_o not_o often_o for_o to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n the_o repentance_n be_v one_o 5_o because_o of_o repentance_n therefore_o the_o husband_n have_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n ought_v not_o to_o marry_v another_o here_o the_o act_n be_v alike_o both_o in_o the_o husband_n and_o in_o the_o wife_n not_o only_o be_v it_o adultery_n to_o they_o who_o pollute_v their_o own_o flesh_n but_o also_o she_o who_o make_v a_o image_n commit_v adultery_n but_o if_o in_o these_o deed_n she_o persevere_v and_o do_v not_o repentance_n depart_v from_o she_o and_o do_v not_o live_v together_o with_o she_o otherwise_o also_o thou_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o her_o sin_n 6_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v command_v you_o that_o you_o remain_v single_a both_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n for_o there_o may_v be_v repentance_n in_o a_o deed_n of_o this_o sort_n but_o also_o i_o give_v not_o occasion_n that_o these_o be_v so_o do_v but_o that_o he_o who_o have_v sin_v sin_v no_o more_o but_o of_o his_o former_a sin_n god_n who_o have_v the_o power_n of_o give_v soundness_n shall_v give_v a_o remedy_n because_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v power_n of_o all_o thing_n 7_o again_o i_o ask_v and_o say_v because_o my_o lord_n have_v esteem_v i_o to_o be_v worthy_a that_o thou_o shall_v dwell_v with_o i_o always_o declare_v unto_o i_o a_o few_o word_n because_o i_o understand_v not_o any_o thing_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v stop_v by_o my_o former_a conversation_n and_o open_a to_o i_o my_o sense_n because_o i_o be_o vehement_o stupid_a and_o of_o the_o the_o whole_a i_o understand_v nothing_o 8_o and_o answer_v he_o say_v unto_o i_o i_o be_o set_v over_o to_o repentance_n and_o to_o all_o that_o do_v repentance_n i_o give_v feeling_n do_v it_o not_o seem_v to_o thou_o to_o be_v great_a wisdom_n to_o do_v repentance_n because_o he_o that_o do_v repentance_n obtain_v great_a feel_n for_o he_o feel_v himself_o to_o have_v sin_v and_o to_o have_v do_v wicked_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v remember_v by_o the_o intellect_n that_o he_o have_v trespass_v and_o he_o do_v repentance_n and_o he_o work_v not_o wicked_o any_o more_o but_o work_v well_o and_o humble_v his_o soul_n and_o vex_v it_o because_o it_o have_v sin_v 9_o thou_o see_v therefore_o that_o repentance_n be_v great_a sense_n and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o for_o this_o cause_n lord_n i_o deligent_o inquire_v all_o thing_n because_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n that_o i_o may_v know_v what_o thing_n i_o may_v work_v and_o may_v live_v because_o many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o thou_o shall_v live_v if_o thou_o thou_o shall_v keep_v these_o my_o commandment_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v hear_v and_o do_v these_o command_n shall_v live_v to_o god._n 10_o and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o even_o now_o lord_n i_o have_v hear_v from_o certain_a doctor_n that_o other_o repentance_n there_o be_v not_o except_o that_o when_o we_o descend_v into_o the_o water_n and_o receive_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n after_o that_o not_o to_o sin_n but_o to_o remain_v in_o chastity_n 11_o and_o he_o say_v to_o i_o thou_o have_v right_o hear_v but_o now_o because_o diligent_o thou_o ask_v all_o thing_n also_o this_o i_o demonstrate_v to_o thou_o not_o give_v occasion_n to_o they_o who_o be_v about_o to_o believe_v or_o who_o have_v believe_v the_o lord_n 12_o for_o they_o who_o have_v already_o believe_v or_o who_o be_v about_o to_o believe_v the_o repentance_n of_o sin_n they_o have_v not_o but_o the_o remission_n for_o to_o those_o who_o be_v call_v before_o these_o day_n have_v the_o lord_n ordain_v repentantance_n because_o the_o cogitation_n of_o the_o heart_n god_n do_v know_v and_o he_o know_v the_o infirmity_n of_o man_n and_o the_o manifold_a wickedness_n of_o the_o devil_n with_o which_o he_o endevour_v some_o mischief_n to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o lay_v wait_v for_o they_o malicious_o 13_o therefore_o the_o merciful_a god_n have_v have_v compassion_n of_o his_o handiwork_n and_o have_v place_v that_o repentance_n and_o the_o power_n of_o this_o repentance_n have_v he_o give_v to_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v to_o thou_o that_o after_o that_o call_v great_a and_o holy_a if_o any_o one_o shall_v be_v tempt_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o shall_v sin_v he_o have_v one_o repentance_n but_o thenceforth_o if_o he_o sin_n and_o do_v repentance_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v profitable_a to_o the_o man_n that_o do_v such_o thing_n for_o difficult_o shall_v he_o live_v to_o god._n 14._o and_o i_o say_v lord_n i_o have_v revive_v whenas_o so_o diligent_o i_o have_v hear_v these_o commandment_n for_o i_o know_v that_o if_o after_o this_o i_o shall_v add_v nothing_o to_o my_o sin_n i_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o say_v safe_a i_o say_v and_o all_o whosoever_o shall_v do_v these_o command_n shall_v be_v safe_a and_o again_o i_o say_v to_o he_o lord_z because_o thou_o patient_o hear_v i_o demonstrate_v unto_o i_o this_o say_v it_o quoth_v he_o 15_o if_o the_o husband_n or_o wife_n of_o any_o one_o shall_v depart_v and_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v marry_v what_o do_v he_o sin_n he_o that_o marry_v sin_v not_o quoth_v he_o but_o if_o he_o will_v remain_v by_o himself_o he_o acquire_v great_a honour_n to_o himself_o with_o the_o lord_n keep_v therefore_o chastity_n and_o modesty_n and_o thou_o shall_v live_v to_o god_n these_o thing_n that_o i_o speak_v with_o thou_o keep_v thou_o henceforth_o from_o the_o time_n wherein_o i_o be_v deliver_v to_o thou_o and_o dwell_v in_o thy_o house_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v remission_n to_o thy_o former_a sin_n if_o thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o commandment_n but_o also_o to_o all_o there_o shall_v be_v remission_n who_o shall_v keep_v my_o commandment_n command_v v._n 1_o be_v thou_o of_o a_o poise_v mind_n quoth_v he_o and_o patient_a and_o thou_o shall_v have_v dominion_n over_o all_o most_o wicked_a work_n and_o shall_v work_v all_o righteousness_n because_o if_o thou_o shall_v be_v patient_n the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o thou_o shall_v be_v clean_a and_o shall_v not_o be_v obscure_v by_o any_o most_o wicked_a spirit_n but_o rejoice_v it_o shall_v be_v enlarge_v and_o shall_v feast_v in_o the_o vessel_n in_o which_o it_o inhabit_v and_o it_o shall_v obey_v the_o lord_n cheerful_a in_o great_a peace_n 2_o but_o if_o any_o wrath_n shall_v come_v over_o it_o immediate_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o shall_v be_v straiten_v and_o shall_v seek_v to_o depart_v for_o it_o be_v suffocate_v by_o a_o most_o wicked_a fight_n and_o it_o have_v not_o a_o place_n of_o obey_v the_o lord_n as_o it_o will_v for_o it_o be_v tribulate_v by_o anger_n therefore_o both_o spirit_n when_o they_o inhabit_v together_o it_o be_v pernicious_a to_o man_n 3_o for_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v pluck_v up_o a_o little_a wormwood_n &_o put_v it_o into_o a_o pot_n of_o honey_n shall_v not_o all_o the_o honey_n be_v destroy_v and_o so_o much_o honey_n by_o a_o little_a wormwoode_n perisheh_o and_o lose_v the_o
sweetnsse_n of_o honey_n and_o now_o it_o have_v not_o acceptance_n with_o its_o lord_n because_o all_o the_o honey_n be_v make_v bitter_a and_o have_v lose_v its_o use_n but_o if_o wormwood_n be_v not_o put_v into_o honey_n it_o shall_v be_v sweet_a and_o in_o use_n to_o its_o lord_n 4_o see_v therefore_o how_o much_o sweet_a equal_a mindedness_n be_v then_o honey_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v profitable_a to_o the_o lord_n that_o stay_v in_o it_o for_o wrath_n be_v unprofitable_a if_o therefore_o anger_n shall_v be_v mix_v with_o aequanimity_n the_o mind_n be_v afflict_v and_o its_o prayer_n be_v not_o profitable_a to_o god_n 5_o and_o i_o say_v to_o he_o i_o will_v know_v lord_n the_o wickedness_n of_o anger_n that_o i_o may_v keep_v i_o from_o it_o and_o he_o say_v to_o i_o thou_o shall_v know_v it_o and_o if_o thou_o shall_v not_o keep_v thyself_o from_o it_o thou_o shall_v loose_v thy_o hope_n with_o thy_o whole_a house_n but_o depart_v from_o it_o for_o i_o be_o with_o thou_o the_o messenger_z of_o equity_n and_o all_o that_o depart_v from_o it_o whosoever_o shall_v do_v repentance_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n they_o shall_v live_v to_o god_n but_o also_o i_o will_v be_v with_o they_o and_o will_v preserve_v they_o all_o 6_o for_o they_o be_v all_o justify_v who_o shall_v do_v repentance_n through_o the_o most_o holy_a angel_n hear_v now_o quoth_v he_o the_o noughtiness_n of_o anger_n how_o wicked_a and_o how_o noxious_a it_o be_v and_o by_o what_o manner_n it_o overthrow_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n for_o they_o who_o be_v full_a in_o the_o faith_n

and_o uncurable_a for_o when_o all_o these_o be_v in_o one_o vessel_n where_o also_o the_o holy_a spirit_n remain_v the_o vessel_n endure_v not_o this_o but_o flow_v over_o because_o the_o tender_a

to_o keep_v therefore_o now_o confirm_v thyself_o in_o these_o command_n that_o thou_o may_v live_v to_o god_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v these_o commandment_n shall_v live_v to_o god._n command_n vi._n 1_o i_o have_v enjoin_v thou_o quoth_v he_o in_o the_o first_o command_n that_o thou_o shall_v keep_v faith_n and_o fear_v and_o penitency_n yea_o quoth_v i_o lord_n but_o now_o i_o will_v show_v unto_o thou_o the_o virtue_n of_o these_o commandment_n that_o thou_o may_v know_v their_o effect_n how_o they_o be_v place_v to_o the_o just_a likewise_o and_o to_o the_o unjust_a thou_o therefore_o believe_v the_o just_a but_o believe_v the_o unjust_a in_o nothing_o for_o righteousness_n have_v the_o right_a way_n but_o unrighteousness_n the_o evil_a but_o keep_v thou_o the_o right_a way_n but_o the_o wicked_a way_n forsake_v thou_o but_o the_o evil_a way_n have_v not_o a_o good_a end_n but_o have_v many_o offence_n 2_o it_o be_v rough_a and_o thorny_a and_o lead_v to_o

neither_o thorny_a thou_o see_v therefore_o that_o better_a it_o be_v to_o go_v by_o this_o way_n for_o thou_o shall_v go_v say_v he_o &_o whosoever_o from_o their_o whole_a heart_n have_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n they_o shall_v go_v through_o it_o 3_o hear_v now_o say_v he_o first_o of_o faith_n there_o be_v two_o spirit_n with_o man_n one_o of_o equity_n and_o one_o of_o iniquity_n and_o i_o

and_o bashful_a affable_a and_o quiet_a when_o therefore_o it_o shall_v ascend_v into_o thy_o heart_n immediate_o it_o speak_v with_o thou_o of_o righteousness_n of_o modesty_n of_o chastity_n of_o

its_o work_n be_v pernicious_a and_o overthrow_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n when_o therefore_o these_o thing_n shall_v ascend_v into_o thy_o heart_n thou_o shall_v understand_v from_o its_o work_n this_o to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o iniquity_n 5_o how_o lord_n shall_v i_o understand_v hear_v quoth_v he_o and_o understand_v when_o wrath_n shall_v happen_v to_o thou_o or_o bitterness_n understand_v that_o to_o be_v in_o thou_o after_o that_o the_o desire_n of_o many_o work_n and_o of_o the_o dainty_a meat_n and_o of_o drunkenness_n and_o the_o desiring_n of_o many_o strange_a

understand_v now_o and_o believe_v the_o genius_n of_o righteousness_n because_o its_o teach_v be_v good_a for_o though_o a_o man_n be_v most_o happy_a and_o the_o cogitation_n of_o the_o other_o

of_o righteousness_n ascend_v up_o into_o his_o heart_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o or_o she_o do_v something_o of_o good_a thou_o see_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o follow_v

he_o thou_o have_v indeed_o very_a many_o sin_n but_o not_o so_o many_o that_o thou_o ought_v to_o be_v deliver_v to_o this_o messenger_n but_o many_o iniquity_n and_o transgression_n have_v thy_o
