man_n shall_v deceive_v himself_o and_o that_o the_o good_a may_v be_v know_v of_o the_o good_a and_o so_o link_v together_o with_o a_o straight_a bond_n now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v fetch_v from_o the_o former_a table_n of_o the_o law_n which_o altogether_o consist_v there_o in_o the_o hart_n and_o mind_n and_o require_v faith_n in_o god_n and_o most_o high_a neverence_n but_o in_o this_o

in_o the_o second_o table_n of_o god_n law_n wherein_o a_o man_n can_v so_o easy_o feign_v or_o counterfeit_v thou_o say_v that_o god_n almighty_a be_v thy_o god_n as_o the_o first_o cummaundement_n of_o the_o first_o table_n do_v require_v and_o thou_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o i_o for_o my_o part_n do_v doubt_n of_o that_o matter_n and_o can_v tell_v whither_o thou_o plaie_v the_o hypocrize_n

in_o this_o wise_a so_o great_o love_v god_n that_o thou_o can_v willing_o suffer_v and_o do_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o sake_n that_o thou_o revenge_v not_o injury_n do_v unto_o thou_o but_o wish_v well_o from_o thy_o hart_n to_o all_o yea_o even_o to_o thy_o enemy_n for_o so_o do_v christ_n because_o while_o they_o vex_v and_o trouble_v thou_o they_o wot_v not_o what_o they_o do_v if_o thou_o behave_v thyself_o thus_o i_o will_v believe_v that_o thou_o be_v the_o man_n who_o thou_o make_v thyself_o to_o be_v but_o if_o not_o how_o shall_v i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a since_o all_o man_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v asmuch_o but_o yet_o deny_v it_o in_o their_o deed_n therefore_o by_o this_o rule_n our_o life_n be_v to_o be_v examine_v lest_o we_o deceive_v either_o ourselves_o or_o other_o david_n then_o make_v not_o mention_v of_o the_o first_o table_n because_o all_o say_v they_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o worship_v he_o but_o he_o touch_v that_o whereby_o it_o may_v appear_v how_o true_o they_o make_v that_o profession_n for_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o find_v fire_n that_o be_v cold_a or_o you_o that_o be_v hot_a then_o may_v also_o a_o man_n be_v as_o many_o in_o these_o day_n avouch_v themselves_o to_o be_v a_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o not_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o wherein_o also_o notwithstanding_o consist_v the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n but_o that_o shall_v never_o be_v see_v for_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o man_n common_o vaunt_v of_o a_o vain_a shadow_n of_o faith_n &_o deceive_v themselves_o while_o they_o brag_v that_o they_o both_o know_v god_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o not_o consider_v advize_o what_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o nor_o wherein_o

neither_o can_v any_o man_n except_o god_n see_v the_o faith_n of_o another_o body_n but_o by_o the_o effect_n and_o as_o by_o smoke_n come_v forth_o of_o a_o chimney_n we_o gather_v that_o there_o
