with_o great_a honour_n and_o religion_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v do_v direct_o against_o the_o will_n and_o commandment_n of_o he_o who_o have_v rather_o that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v perish_v than_o his_o word_n especial_o see_v christ_n himself_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o wherefore_o we_o observe_v that_o day_n not_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o at_o the_o bid_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o his_o holy_a apostle_n the_o grace_n of_o which_o jew_n be_v translate_v unto_o we_o christian_n and_o upon_o this_o sabbath_n day_n lend_v except_v we_o ever_o eat_v flesh_n which_o use_n be_v not_o observe_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o bernague_n and_o tygri_n mahon_n the_o natural_a people_n of_o which_o two_o kingdom_n by_o a_o ancient_a custom_n eat_v flesh_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o sunday_n in_o lent_n now_o we_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o other_o christian_n do_v in_o memory_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o keep_v holy_a by_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o upon_o these_o two_o day_n we_o believe_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o godly_a depart_v which_o remain_v in_o purgatory_n be_v not_o there_o torment_v which_o rest_n god_n have_v grant_v unto_o those_o soul_n upon_o these_o most_o holy_a day_n until_o the_o end_n of_o their_o punishment_n due_a for_o their_o offence_n in_o this_o world_n be_v determine_v they_o be_v deliver_v thence_o for_o the_o diminish_n of_o which_o pain_n and_o to_o extenuate_v &_o shorten_v the_o time_n of_o their_o punishment_n we_o believe_v that_o alm_n deed_n do_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v very_o profitable_a unto_o those_o soul_n which_o live_v in_o purgatory_n to_o the_o remission_n of_o which_o soul_n the_o patriarch_n give_v no_o indulgence_n for_o that_o we_o believe_v do_v belong_v unto_o god_n only_o and_o to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o time_n of_o their_o punishment_n neither_o do_v the_o patriarch_n allow_v any_o day_n for_o indulgence_n by_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v only_o bind_v to_o keep_v 6._o precept_n which_o christ_n explain_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o be_v a_o hunger_a say_v he_o and_o you_o give_v i_o to_o eat_v i_o be_v thirsty_a and_o you_o give_v i_o to_o drink_v i_o be_v a_o stranger_n &_o you_o take_v i_o in_o naked_a and_o you_o clothe_v i_o sick_a and_o you_o visit_v i_o i_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o you_o come_v unto_o i_o which_o word_n christ_n will_v only_o pronounce_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n because_o the_o law_n as_o paul_n witness_v show_v unto_o we_o our_o sin_n which_o law_n christ_n jesus_n except_v no_o one_o can_v keep_v and_o paul_n also_o say_v that_o we_o be_v all_o bear_v in_o sin_n for_o the_o transgression_n of_o our_o mother_n eva_n and_o for_o her_o curse_n and_o malediction_n and_o the_o same_o paul_n further_a say_v that_o we_o die_v through_o adam_n and_o live_v through_o christ_n which_o christ_n of_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n have_v give_v unto_o we_o these_o six_o precept_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v when_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o his_o majesty_n to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a &_o the_o dead_a by_o which_o word_n and_o commandment_n in_o that_o fearful_a and_o terrible_a day_n of_o judgement_n he_o will_v pronounce_v and_o show_v unto_o the_o good_a everlasting_a glory_n and_o to_o the_o wicked_a fire_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o we_o reckon_v but_o only_o five_o deadly_a sin_n as_o they_o term_v they_o which_o we_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n where_o it_o be_v say_v for_o without_o shall_v be_v dog_n and_o enchanter_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o murderer_n and_o idolater_n and_o whosoever_o love_v or_o make_v lie_n it_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o holy_a apostle_n in_o their_o book_n of_o counsel_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o clergy_n to_o marry_v after_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o some_o knowledge_n in_o divinity_n and_o be_v once_o marry_v they_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o order_n of_o priest_n into_o the_o which_o order_v none_o be_v admit_v before_o he_o accomplish_v the_o age_n of_o 30._o year_n neithey_a be_v any_o bastard_n by_o any_o mean_v allow_v to_o enter_v into_o that_o most_o holy_a order_n &_o these_o order_n be_v give_v by_o no_o other_o but_o by_o the_o patriarch_n only_o &_o where_o the_o first_o wife_n of_o a_o bishop_n or_o clercke_n or_o deacon_n be_v dead_a it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o marry_v a_o other_o unless_o the_o patriarch_n dispense_v therewith_o which_o sometime_o for_o a_o public_a good_a be_v grant_v to_o great_a man_n nor_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o keep_v a_o concubine_n unless_o they_o will_v refuse_v and_o put_v themselves_o from_o say_v service_n which_o if_o they_o once_o do_v they_o may_v never_o after_o meddle_v in_o minister_a divine_a matter_n and_o this_o be_v observe_v so_o strict_o that_o those_o priest_n which_o have_v be_v twice_o marry_v dare_v never_o take_v in_o their_o hand_n so_o much_o as_o a_o candle_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o any_o bishop_n or_o deacon_n be_v find_v to_o have_v any_o bastard_n child_n he_o be_v deprive_v from_o all_o his_o benefice_n and_o from_o his_o holy_a order_n &_o his_o god_n if_o he_o decease_n without_o lawful_a heir_n come_v unto_o prestor_n john_n and_o not_o to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o the_o warrant_n that_o we_o have_v that_o our_o priest_n may_v marry_v be_v take_v out_o of_o saint_n paul_n who_o have_v rather_o that_o both_o clergy_n and_o laity_n shall_v marry_v then_o burn_v and_o he_o also_o say_v that_o a_o bishop_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v sober_a and_o irreprehensible_a and_o in_o like_a manner_n will_v he_o have_v deacon_n and_o further_o that_o ecclesiastical_a person_n shall_v have_v their_o proper_a wife_n by_o lawful_a marriage_n even_o as_o secular_a people_n have_v but_o muncke_n marry_v not_o at_o all_o and_o both_o lay_v man_n and_o clergy_n have_v but_o one_o wife_n a_o piece_n and_o matrimony_n be_v not_o contract_v before_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n but_o in_o the_o private_a house_n of_o those_o that_o bear_v most_o sway_n at_o the_o bridal_a we_o have_v have_v also_o receive_v from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o if_o a_o priest_n be_v find_v in_o addultery_n or_o commit_v manslaughter_n or_o theft_n or_o bear_v false_a witness_n he_o shall_v be_v deprive_v and_o put_v from_o his_o holy_a order_n and_o punish_v like_o other_o malefactor_n again_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o those_o apostle_n if_o any_o person_n either_o ecclesiastical_a or_o lay_v do_v lie_n with_o his_o wife_n or_o be_v pollute_v in_o sleep_n he_o come_v not_o into_o the_o church_n for_o the_o space_n of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n after_o nor_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o menstruous_a woman_n to_o come_v into_o the_o church_n unless_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n after_o their_o sickness_n and_o then_o to_o have_v all_o their_o garment_n thorough_o wash_v which_o they_o wear_v during_o the_o time_n of_o their_o monthly_a disease_n and_o they_o themselves_o purge_v from_o all_o filth_n a_o woman_n also_o that_o bring_v forth_o a_o man_n child_n must_v not_o come_v into_o the_o church_n till_o after_o the_o fortith_n day_n and_o if_o she_o bring_v forth_o a_o woman_n child_n then_o she_o must_v not_o come_v into_o the_o church_n till_o after_o the_o eighteeth_n day_n this_o be_v our_o custom_n found_v upon_o the_o ancient_a law_n and_o also_o upon_o the_o apostolic_a law_n which_o law_n ordinance_n and_o precept_n we_o observe_v as_o diligent_o in_o all_o point_n as_o possible_a may_v be_v moreover_o we_o be_v prohibit_v that_o neither_o swine_n nor_o dog_n nor_o other_o such_o beast_n shall_v enter_v into_o our_o church_n also_o we_o may_v not_o go_v to_o the_o church_n but_o bare_a footed_a neither_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o laugh_v walk_v or_o talk_v of_o profane_a matter_n in_o the_o church_n nor_o once_o there_o to_o spit_v hawk_n or_o he_o because_o the_o church_n of_o aethiopia_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o that_o land_n where_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v eat_v the_o paschall_n lamb_n depart_v from_o egypt_n in_o which_o place_n god_n command_v they_o to_o eat_v it_o with_o their_o shoe_n on_o and_o gird_v with_o their_o girdle_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o
