like_o spiritual_a virtue_n we_o read_v in_o history_n example_n of_o eremite_n saint_n antony_n and_o other_o which_o make_v the_o kynde_n of_o lyve_n equal_a one_o to_o another_o it_o be_v write_v that_o to_o antony_n antony_n when_o he_o desire_v of_o god_n to_o know_v how_o much_o he_o have_v profyte_v in_o this_o kind_n of_o lyve_v there_o be_v show_v in_o his_o dream_n a_o certain_a shoemaker_n dwell_v in_o the_o city_n of_o alexandrie_n to_o who_o he_o be_v compare_v on_o the_o morrow_n after_o antony_z commith_n into_o the_o city_n and_o go_v unto_o the_o shoemaker_n to_o search_v and_o know_v his_o exercise_n and_o gift_n when_o he_o have_v speak_v with_o the_o man_n he_o hearith_v nothing_o of_o he_o but_o that_o he_o do_v every_o morning_n in_o few_o word_n pray_v for_o the_o hole_n city_n and_o afterwardê_n do_v apply_v his_o craft_n and_o occupation_n here_o antony_n perceive_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o that_o sort_n of_o lyve_a which_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o and_o profess_v but_o our_o adversary_n although_o they_o now_o moderate_v the_o praise_n of_o perfection_n yet_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o think_v otherwise_o for_o they_o sell_v merit_n and_o apply_v they_o for_o other_o undre_fw-fr this_o pretence_n that_o they_o observe_v both_o the_o precept_n and_o also_o the_o counsel_n wherefore_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o think_v that_o they_o have_v merit_v mo_z than_o they_o need_n what_o be_v to_o challenge_v ê‘fection_n unto_o themselves_o if_o this_o be_v not_o furthermore_o it_o be_v put_v in_o the_o confutation_n that_o religious_a man_n labour_v to_o live_v more_o never_o unto_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o do_v therefore_o put_v perfection_n in_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n if_o religious_a man_n live_v more_o near_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o they_o have_v nothing_o proper_a but_o all_o come_fw-mi because_o they_o live_v without_o wyve_n because_o they_o obey_v their_o rule_n in_o garment_n meat_n and_o other_o like_a trifle_n 19_o also_o the_o confutation_n say_v that_o religious_a man_n merit_v more_o plenteous_o everlasting_a life_n it_o alledgith_v the_o scripture_n qui_fw-la reliquerit_fw-la doman_n etc._n etc._n whosoever_o shall_v forsake_v house_n here_o god_n wot_v the_o scripture_n gyve_v perfection_n to_o these_o counterfeit_v and_o feign_v religious_a but_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n make_v nothing_o for_o monastical_a life_n for_o christ_n do_v not_o mean_a that_o to_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n wife_n or_o brother_n be_v a_o work_n therefore_o to_o be_v do_v because_o it_o do_v merit_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n yea_o that_o forsake_v be_v a_o curse_a forsake_v for_o it_o be_v do_v with_o the_o injury_n of_o christ_n if_o any_o man_n will_v therefore_o forsake_v father_n or_o mother_n or_o wife_n thaâ—_n by_o this_o self_n work_v he_o may_v merit_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n world_n but_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o forsakynge_n one_o be_v do_v without_o call_v and_o without_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n this_o forsake_v and_o renounce_v christ_n allow_v not_o for_o workê_n choose_v of_o ourselves_o be_v unprofitable_a service_n and_o hereof_o it_o apperith_v more_o evident_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o love_v this_o ron_v away_o or_o forsake_v because_o he_o speakith_v of_o forsake_v wife_n and_o child_n but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n forbid_v to_o forsake_v wife_n and_o child_n there_o be_v another_o manner_n forsake_v which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o weet_v when_o tyrant_n or_o they_o which_o have_v authority_n over_o we_o compel_v we_o to_o deny_v the_o gospel_n or_o â—o_o break_v god_n commandment_n here_o in_o this_o case_n we_o have_v commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v rather_o suffer_v wrong_n &_o rather_o suffer_v not_o only_o our_o good_n our_o wife_n our_o child_n to_o be_v take_v from_o we_o but_o even_o our_o life_n also_o this_o manner_n renounce_v or_o forsake_v christ_n do_v allow_v and_o therefore_o he_o addith_v these_o word_n for_o the_o gospel_n
