table_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o the_o life_n of_o any_o man_n have_v never_o attain_v the_o age_n of_o a_o thousand_o year_n the_o law_n say_v whosoever_o fulfil_v it_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o but_o for_o want_v of_o fulfil_v it_o the_o life_n of_o man_n never_o reach_v a_o thousand_o year_n and_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n will_v not_o that_o the_o table_n wherein_o he_o have_v renew_v this_o law_n that_o offer_a life_n shall_v last_v a_o thousand_o year_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o scripture_n show_v which_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n and_o never_o which_o be_v the_o least_o although_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o degree_n &_o weight_n between_o the_o commandment_n and_o that_o the_o lawgiver_n have_v mark_v that_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a yea_o and_o the_o second_o likewise_o to_o which_o all_o the_o other_o be_v refer_v yet_o will_v he_o never_o say_v which_o be_v the_o least_o of_o they_o all_o in_o the_o one_o or_o other_o table_n his_o will_n be_v notwithstanding_o the_o inequality_n which_o be_v betwixt_o they_o that_o we_o consider_v they_o all_o as_o great_a see_v that_o in_o the_o law_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v not_o great_a in_o effect_n beside_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n in_o each_o of_o the_o two_o table_n because_o all_o the_o other_o be_v as_o it_o be_v inchaffed_a into_o the_o great_a but_o to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o least_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a necessary_a how_o one_o may_v judge_v of_o two_o diverse_a commandment_n to_o know_v which_o be_v great_a than_o the_o other_o those_o that_o concern_v god_n and_o touch_v he_o near_o or_o that_o tender_a man_n most_o like_a god_n those_o be_v the_o great_a great_a for_o example_n be_v that_o commandment_n which_o

service_n of_o god_n than_o the_o external_a because_o it_o have_v more_o correspondence_n with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n charity_n be_v great_a than_o faith_n or_o hope_n because_o love_n be_v in_o god_n yea_o god_n himself_o be_v love_n but_o neither_o faith_n nor_o hope_n can_v be_v in_o he_o for_o what_o shall_v god_n either_o believe_v or_o hope_v for_o great_a be_v his_o work_n that_o

far_o from_o the_o matter_n why_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v pollution_n to_o touch_v the_o dead_a corpse_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n that_o have_v be_v murder_v and_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o pollution_n to_o touch_v the_o live_a murderer_n we_o know_v that_o whosoever_o touch_v a_o dead_a body_n even_o for_o to_o bury_v it_o the_o law_n declare_v he_o defile_v so_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v

his_o blood_n they_o endanger_v no_o uncleanness_n this_o law_n be_v strange_a and_o it_o seem_v hard_a to_o find_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o we_o may_v answer_v notwithstanding_o that_o as_o there_o be_v divers_a cause_n of_o pollution_n that_o of_o a_o dead_a man_n body_n proceed_v from_o that_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o image_n of_o god_n the_o lineament_n of_o which_o consist_v proper_o in_o
