the_o altar_n of_o god_n and_o his_o sainctis_fw-la in_o so_o moche_v that_o the_o ointment_n wherewith_o his_o beard_n be_v anoint_v be_v have_v in_o remembrance_n more_o over_o the_o people_n of_o nazareth_n those_o mooste_o holy_a man_n which_o be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n dydde_v let_v grow_v their_o bush_n and_o beard_n in_o token_n of_o holiness_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o rede_v that_o sayncte_n john_n baptyste_v the_o messenger_n of_o christ_n will_v never_o suffer_v the_o hear_v of_o his_o heed_n nor_o beard_n to_o be_v cut_v and_o by_o what_o argument_n more_o plain_a may_v we_o prove_v beard_n to_o please_v god_n than_o by_o this_o that_o the_o father_n when_o they_o can_v have_v no_o chylderne_a they_o make_v vow_n to_o let_v their_o beard_n grow_v the_o which_o thing_n if_o those_o father_n have_v think_v unthankful_a to_o god_n doubteles_a they_o will_v not_o have_v hope_v to_o opteyne_v any_o grace_n of_o he_o by_o such_o vow_n they_z without_o doubt_n be_v warn_v of_o the_o offence_n that_o peraventure_fw-fr certain_a delycate_a fellow_n commit_v by_o shave_v of_o their_o beard_n dydde_v intend_v both_o to_o mend_v the_o erroure_n and_o also_o to_o get_v ageyne_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o that_o vow_n trewe_o you_o shall_v find_v among_o the_o hebrew_n dyvers_a time_n beard_n shave_v where_o any_o unsufferable_a peyne_n or_o great_a wretchedness_n do_v happen_v to_o they_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v show_v themselves_o as_o man_n spoil_v of_o all_o their_o welthe_n a_o hole_n day_n you_o a_o hole_n year_n will_v not_o serve_v i_o if_o i_o shall_v continue_v after_o this_o manner_n to_o remember_v all_o the_o place_n and_o exaumple_n write_v in_o those_o day_n where_o beard_n be_v commend_v the_o which_o thing_n seinge_v it_o be_v so_o plain_a i_o think_v it_o not_o mete_v to_o consume_v any_o long_a time_n in_o a_o matty_a so_o open_o know_v it_o apperethe_v in_o the_o old_a law_n that_o beard_n be_v not_o forbid_a but_o ordain_v to_o be_v wear_v and_o command_v by_o god_n himself_o not_o to_o be_v put_v away_o now_o go_v to_o let_v we_o come_v to_o a_o other_o law_n which_o our_o christian_a religion_n have_v follow_v 1529._o year_n this_o law_n be_v name_v by_o our_o divine_n the_o law_n of_o grace_n which_o we_o divide_v into_o the_o law_n of_o example_n &_o the_o law_n write_v by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghooste_n the_o law_n of_o example_n be_v of_o so_o great_a authority_n that_o that_o alone_o suffice_v as_o it_o apperith_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o himself_o profess_v to_o gyve_v exaumple_v to_o us._n therefore_o we_o be_v ever_o wont_a to_o put_v christ_n afore_o we_o for_o a_o example_n and_o by_o that_o argument_n ignatius_n the_o disciple_n of_o sayncte_n john_n the_o euangeliste_n be_v move_v ageyn_v the_o supersticiousnes_n of_o certain_a man_n which_o think_v themselves_o the_o holy_a because_o they_o absteyn_v ever_o from_o flesh_n christ_n say_v he_o dydde_v eat_v flesh_n peter_n do_v eat_v flesh_n and_o those_o that_o follow_v after_o wherefore_o shall_v we_o than_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o holiness_n take_v away_o the_o eating_a thereof_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o example_n that_o what_o so_o ever_o he_o have_v do_v we_o shall_v do_v the_o same_o as_o far_o as_o our_o power_n do_v extend_v and_o so_o we_o may_v plain_o say_v that_o every_o act_n of_o christ_n our_o author_n be_v a_o law_n and_o form_n of_o our_o lyve_a and_o this_o be_v grant_v i_o will_v wit_n of_o our_o accuser_n whether_o

the_o manner_n of_o peter_n &_o paul_n and_o all_o the_o appostel_n may_v be_v judge_v a_o sufficient_a defence_n for_o beard_n and_o there_o be_v certeyn_fw-mi man_n which_o so_o descrive_v the_o

than_o paul_n which_o be_v a_o master_n of_o our_o live_v to_o who_o most_o wise_a instruction_n we_o be_v ever_o obedient_a andrew_n thomas_n and_o all_o the_o felowshyppe_n of_o they_o be_v

the_o less_o you_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o it_o be_v the_o generalle_a agreement_n of_o all_o man_n that_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostel_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a auctour_n of_o our_o

very_o we_o can_v not_o prove_v that_o ever_o sayncte_n john_n the_o messenger_n of_o christ_n be_v shave_v nor_o yet_o sayncte_fw-la james_n who_o amongst_o other_o good_a gift_n of_o a_o virtuous_a
