Luc. our Lords Beatitudes Benedictions which in (b) Mat. 5 a ibidem Hilarius Chrysostomus Hieronymus Chromatius Theoph. Euthym. Anselm c. S. MATHEVVES Gospell are in this manner recounted eight in number 1 Blessed are the (c) Luc. 6 c Esa 66 a Iac. 2 a Mat. 18 a poore in spirit For theirs is the kingdome of Heauen 2 Blessed are the (d) Psa 36 b Mat. 11 d Psal 26 d meeke for they shal possesse the Lande 3 Blessed are they that (e) Luc. 6 c 16 f 1.

Tim. 2 a shall be crowned vnlesse hee striue lawefully Euery one (b) 1. Cor. 3 b shall receiue his owne rewarde according to his owne labour What things (c) Gal. 6 b a man shall sowe those also shall hee reape as constantly affirmeth the doctor of the Gentiles And therefore our Lord before he come to sitte in (d) Heb.
