the_o scripture_n in_o some_o respect_n all_o thing_n be_v easy_a they_o be_v hard_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o they_o can_v be_v assent_v to_o till_o god_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o our_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o disciple_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v set_v down_o in_o term_n plain_a enough_o so_o we_o use_v diligence_n to_o understand_v they_o i_o say_v all_o thing_n all_o the_o mystery_n of_o religion_n without_o as_o they_o call_v it_o any_o mental_a reservation_n yet_o so_o besot_v be_v they_o with_o this_o foolish_a device_n of_o they_o as_o that_o they_o stumble_v even_o at_o the_o plain_a scripture_n s._n matthew_n report_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n come_v to_o judgement_n he_o shall_v say_v to_o the_o reprobate_n nescio_fw-la vos_fw-la i_o know_v you_o not_o and_o here_o say_v the_o friar_n christ_n use_v a_o mental_a reservation_n wherein_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v more_o ridiculous_a or_o impious_a for_o christ_n there_o allude_v to_o a_o usual_a form_n of_o speech_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o when_o they_o mislike_v a_o man_n give_v he_o a_o nescio_fw-la that_o be_v i_o know_v you_o not_o which_o form_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v at_o this_o day_n by_o many_o &_o consuetudo_fw-la vocabuli_fw-la vita_fw-la vocabuli_fw-la the_o custom_n of_o speech_n be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o speech_n neither_o can_v our_o saviour_n more_o significant_o have_v express_v his_o mind_n or_o purpose_n of_o reject_v they_o then_o in_o say_v nescio_fw-la vos_fw-la so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o equivocation_n or_o mental_a reservation_n when_o we_o tell_v they_o hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v figurative_o to_o be_v understand_v they_o say_v figure_n be_v not_o use_v in_o matter_n of_o will_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v plain_a and_o can_v they_o not_o remember_v how_o the_o sentence_n of_o judge_n ought_v to_o be_v plain_a but_o these_o man_n in_o some_o respect_n may_v be_v pardon_v for_o because_o they_o when_o they_o be_v cite_v &_o appear_v at_o the_o bar_n do_v equivocate_v and_o dissemble_v they_o think_v also_o that_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o pronounce_v sentence_n of_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n he_o shall_v speak_v doubtful_o but_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o make_v we_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o to_o who_o he_o shall_v say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n for_o certain_o they_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v nescio_fw-la i_o know_v you_o not_o shall_v not_o only_o understand_v it_o but_o feel_v it_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v a_o commentary_n to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o word_n they_o gross_o &_o childish_o wrest_v to_o the_o maintenance_n and_o defence_n of_o their_o deceit_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o wade_v further_o and_o have_v not_o this_o violence_n be_v use_v to_o this_o text_n i_o shall_v have_v abstain_v at_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n with_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 15._o psalm_n add_v withal_o s._n jeromes_n observation_n on_o it_o he_o in_o the_o 15._o psalm_n describe_v a_o righteous_a man_n add_v among_o other_o thing_n who_o swear_v to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o disappoint_v he_o not_o though_o it_o be_v to_o his_o hindrance_n such_o a_o man_n say_v david_n shall_v stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o which_o be_v mean_v not_o only_o he_o that_o swear_v promissoriê_a that_o take_v a_o promissory_a oath_n but_o even_o he_o that_o swear_v assertiuè_fw-fr that_o formal_o affirm_v or_o deny_v any_o thing_n by_o oath_n he_o that_o swear_v whether_o in_o promise_v a_o thing_n to_o come_v or_o in_o affirm_v a_o thing_n past_a shall_v stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n &_o then_o he_o conclude_v he_o that_o do_v this_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v out_o of_o which_o s._n i_o infer_v this_o therefore_o he_o that_o do_v shall_v be_v move_v if_o he_o that_o swear_v and_o that_o true_o shall_v stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n then_o he_o that_o forswear_v himself_o that_o elude_v all_o other_o by_o lie_v and_o dissemble_v and_o such_o trick_n as_o the_o heathen_a man_n do_v abhor_v shall_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v no_o way_n to_o get_v heaven_n the_o whole_a scripture_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n in_o every_o place_n condemn_v

that_o there_o be_v particular_a duty_n give_v i_o leave_v i_o pray_v you_o to_o be_v somewhat_o particular_a as_o the_o text_n the_o time_n and_o this_o present_a honourable_a audience_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n require_v it_o be_v a_o simplicity_n or_o rather_o folly_n to_o think_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v both_o a_o courtier_n and_o a_o christian_n s._n john_n baptist_n be_v a_o courtier_n for_o though_o he_o keep_v in_o the_o wilderness_n yet_o sometime_o he_o come_v to_o the_o court_n he_o be_v in_o good_a grace_n with_o herod_n who_o hear_v he_o glad_o and_o can_v he_o have_v flatter_v he_o may_v have_v obtain_v any_o preferment_n or_o honour_n in_o the_o court_n but_o he_o be_v plain_a and_o tell_v the_o truth_n he_o be_v not_o of_o his_o opinion_n that_o say_v lex_fw-la alia_fw-la est_fw-la solio_fw-la alia_fw-la privato_fw-la that_o which_o be_v adultery_n in_o a_o private_a man_n can_v not_o be_v adultery_n in_o a_o prince_n daniel_n and_o ezra_n and_o many_o other_o be_v great_a courtier_n in_o high_a favour_n with_o their_o prince_n how_o do_v they_o use_v their_o favour_n sure_o but_o little_a to_o their_o own_o preferment_n whole_o to_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o their_o country_n saint_n jerome_n report_v of_o one_o who_o be_v the_o emperor_n nephew_n and_o yet_o never_o ask_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o emperor_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o man_n of_o eminent_a place_n great_a birth_n and_o in_o high_a favour_n will_v know_v that_o it_o be_v one_o part_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o employ_v their_o greatness_n to_o the_o good_a and_o behoof_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o their_o country_n and_o that_o god_n do_v require_v this_o of_o they_o as_o a_o special_a duty_n it_o can_v be_v offensive_a i_o hope_v to_o have_v admonish_v thus_o much_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o which_o in_o particular_a pertain_v to_o woman_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v the_o chief_a in_o

bravery_n of_o that_o sex_n among_o other_o thing_n he_o say_v that_o silver_n gold_n and_o precious_a stone_n be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o satan_n and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o baptism_n they_o profess_v to_o renounce_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o ornament_n and_o attire_n they_o wear_v be_v against_o their_o vow_n in_o baptism_n but_o here_o i_o be_o not_o altogether_o of_o his_o mind_n for_o the_o thing_n themselves_o be_v the_o good_a creature_n of_o god_n and_o may_v be_v use_v so_o that_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o wicked_o puff_v up_o scandal_n be_v avoid_v and_o decency_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o condition_n be_v keep_v yet_o in_o one_o thing_n i_o think_v woman_n can_v be_v excuse_v and_o that_o be_v in_o paint_v of_o themselves_o which_o howsoever_o some_o defend_v the_o most_o religious_a and_o learned_a father_n have_v condemn_v cyprian_n say_v that_o they_o which_o paint_v themselves_o do_v in_o a_o sort_n make_v christ_n a_o liar_n for_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n say_v you_o can_v make_v one_o hair_n black_a or_o white_a they_o have_v a_o mean_a to_o make_v they_o all_o of_o what_o colour_n they_o listen_v another_o say_v that_o when_o a_o carpenter_n or_o joiner_n have_v make_v a_o piece_n of_o work_n he_o will_v not_o think_v well_o that_o any_o shall_v discommend_v it_o or_o rend_v and_o deface_v it_o and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o disgrace_n when_o god_n have_v frame_v and_o fashion_v we_o well_o but_o we_o must_v over-lay_a god_n work_n with_o the_o devil_n colour_n how_o this_o may_v
