be_v very_o brief_a in_o this_o point_n the_o summa_fw-la totalis_fw-la be_v this_o first_o that_o although_o god_n be_v at_o all_o time_n to_o be_v glorify_v for_o his_o mercy_n yet_o his_o

something_o but_o seem_v only_o for_o it_o must_v receive_v construction_n according_a to_o the_o foundation_n on_o which_o the_o homily_n build_v viz._n that_o nothing_o herein_o be_v moral_a but_o what_o appertain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n see_v therefore_o that_o this_o particular_a can_v be_v deduce_v out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o homily_n never_o intend_v it_o for_o moral_a ob._n it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o then_o the_o homily_n do_v contradict_v itself_o for_o if_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v natural_a must_v be_v retain_v and_o one_o in_o seven_o be_v not_o

answer_v hereunto_o first_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o homily_n speak_v by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n &_o ad_fw-la populum_fw-la and_o in_o treatise_n of_o this_o nature_n every_o

many_o thing_n may_v well_o be_v quarrel_v at_o in_o they_o second_o let_v the_o passage_n itself_o be_v well_o construe_v and_o the_o homily_n clear_v itself_o for_o it_o say_v indeed_o that_o god_n commandment_n be_v so_o to_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o christian_n have_v follow_v this_o example_n voluntary_o and_o of_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o if_o of_o their_o own_o choice_n then_o doubtless_o not_o by_o any_o necessity_n of_o moral_a precept_n to_o the_o eleven_o what_o if_o the_o church_n retain_v and_o read_v this_o among_o the_o moral_n do_v she_o not_o also_o appoint_v by_o
