comfort_v the_o weak_a with_o sweet_a &_o love_a word_n as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v verse_n 20._o for_o i_o be_o trouble_v for_o you_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o be_o so_o trouble_v in_o my_o

they_o himself_o but_o he_o be_v in_o great_a perplexity_n and_o very_o careful_a for_o this_o matter_n take_v by_o the_o way_n this_o allegory_n similitude_n which_o then_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n for_o the_o people_n be_v great_o delight_v with_o allegory_n and_o similitude_n and_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o oftentimes_o use_v they_o for_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v certain_a picture_n which_o set_v forth_o thing_n as_o if_o they_o be_v paint_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o simple_a and_o therefore_o they_o move_v and_o persuade_v very_o much_o especial_o the_o simple_a and_o

sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o allegory_n have_v no_o place_n into_o unfit_a and_o foolish_a allegory_n therefore_o to_o use_v allegory_n it_o be_v oftentimes_o a_o very_a dangerous_a

the_o book_n of_o genesis_n la_o out_o of_o the_o which_o he_o allege_v the_o history_n of_o ishmael_n and_o of_o isaac_n the_o law_n see_v that_o book_n contain_v nothing_o at_o all_o concern_v the_o

which_o be_v there_o contain_v call_v the_o book_n of_o genesis_n the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o book_n of_o moses_n so_o do_v paul_n himself_o also_o be_v a_o jew_n and_o christ_n under_o
