the_o wash_n of_o eete_a and_o you_o ought_v one_o to_o wash_v the_o foot_n of_o another_o here_o the_o adversary_n say_v that_o in_o the_o first_o word_n there_o be_v a_o precept_n but_o not_o in_o

the_o stock_n of_o jonadab_n the_o son_n of_o rechab_n stand_v in_o my_o sight_n all_o day_n in_o this_o example_n three_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v note_v first_o that_o the_o precept_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o rechabite_v be_v most_o hard_o for_o what_o be_v hard_a than_o that_o husband_n and_o wife_n young_a man_n and_o young_a maid_n not_o only_o for_o a_o short_a time_n as_o the_o

any_o vineyard_n second_o that_o this_o precept_n be_v not_o divine_a but_o humane_a it_o appear_v by_o the_o opposition_n which_o god_n make_v for_o thus_o he_o argue_v the_o rechabit_v do_v observe_v the_o precept_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o man_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o precept_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o god_n three_o that_o the_o rechabit_v not_o only_o do_v well_o and_o commendable_o in_o observe_v the_o precept_n of_o their_o father_n jonadab_n but_o also_o thereby_o deserve_v a_o peculiar_a blessing_n from_o god_n whereas_o contrare_fw-la wise_n the_o jew_n deserve_v nothing_o but_o great_a punishment_n for_o it_o be_v say_v to_o the_o rechabit_v there_o shall_v not_o want_v a_o man_n of_o the_o stock_n of_o jonadab_n the_o son_n of_o rechab_n stand_v in_o my_o sight_n all_o day_n but_o to_o the_o jew_n i_o will_v bring_v upon_o you_o affliction_n now_o from_o hence_o let_v our_o adversary_n if_o they_o be_v wise_a infer_v these_o few_o verity_n first_o that_o the_o catholic_n observe_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n do_v no_o less_o well_o and_o laudable_o then_o do_v therechabite_v by_o keep_v the_o precept_n of_o their_o father_n jonadab_n for_o doubtless_o it_o be_v no_o less_o commendable_a to_o obey_v the_o church_n our_o common_a mother_n than_o it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o obey_v a_o private_a man_n their_o father_n and_o even_o as_o the_o rechabite_v do_v not_o sin_n against_o that_o aforesaid_a place_n what_o i_o command_v you_o that_o only_o do_v to_o our_o lord_n even_o so_o neither_o the_o catholic_n sin_n against_o it_o second_o the_o cause_n why_o catholic_n have_v continue_v and_o do_v continue_v still_o be_v because_o they_o keep_v diligent_o the_o commaundment_n of_o the_o church_n and_o how_o much_o more_o diligent_o one_o do_v observe_v they_o so_o many_o more_o benefit_n he_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o that_o some_o other_o do_v not_o prosper_v because_o of_o the_o one_o side_n they_o contemn_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o which_o they_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o the_o rechabit_v be_v and_o on_o the_o other_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o ten_o commaundment_n in_o the_o which_o they_o be_v like_o the_o jew_n but_o that_o they_o may_v pretend_v some_o kind_n of_o excuse_n for_o this_o their_o damnable_a laziness_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v impossible_a to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o which_o they_o make_v god_n a_o tyrant_n as_o though_o he_o will_v command_v man_n that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o fulfil_v but_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o overthrow_v their_o false_a interpretation_n the_o true_a interpretation_n therefore_o be_v this_o you_o shall_v not_o 1._o deut._n 4._o 1._o add_v to_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o neither_o shall_v you_o take_v away_o from_o it_o which_o be_v general_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o ceremonial_a

the_o adversary_n can_v argue_v otherwise_o then_o thus_o the_o jew_n ought_v to_o observe_v the_o precept_n of_o god_n whole_o and_o entire_o not_o decline_v from_o they_o neither_o to_o the_o

who_o the_o party_n at_o variance_n do_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v their_o lawful_a judge_n which_o be_v well_o know_v by_o the_o civil_a and_o canon_n law_n for_o in_o each_o of_o they_o there_o be_v

judge_v understand_v the_o write_a law_n when_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o be_v the_o ordinary_a who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n and_o power_n and_o he_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n delegate_v who_o receive_v power_n of_o the_o ordinary_a supply_n his_o office_n and_o place_n moreover_o that_o the_o write_a law_n can_v be_v judge_n may_v easy_o be_v prove_v and_o most_o plain_o in_o these_o three_o case_n first_o when_o it_o be_v obscure_a and_o doubtful_a for_o then_o there_o be_v need_n of_o some_o other_o judge_n or_o interpreter_n who_o may_v expound_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o second_o when_o one_o law_n seem_v to_o repugn_v another_o which_o happenth_n very_o often_o for_o then_o a_o judge_n be_v needful_a who_o may_v reconcile_v they_o together_o three_o when_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v general_a aught_o to_o be_v restrain_v in_o some_o particular_a case_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a limit_v which_o then_o happen_v when_o some_o

therefore_o in_o such_o a_o case_n one_o must_v judge_v against_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n but_o than_o who_o shall_v be_v judge_n not_o the_o law_n itself_o for_o it_o never_o give_v sentence_n against_o itself_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o other_o judge_n beside_o the_o law_n now_o last_o that_o only_o the_o write_a law_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n for_o the_o decide_n
