not_o to_o follow_v the_o way_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o the_o flesh_n because_o that_o his_o procedynge_n have_v be_v far_o of_o from_o those_o he_o that_o walk_v by_o they_o take_v a_o

the_o long_a that_o they_o go_v the_o more_o different_a they_o be_v and_o syn_n we_o have_v brief_o declare_v by_o his_o example_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o go_v unto_o eternal_a bliss_n i_o woull_a we_o see_v now_o as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v what_o the_o way_n that_o his_o word_n teach_v we_o be_v ¶_o eternal_a life_n he_o than_o address_v himself_o towards_o his_o celestial_a father_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a this_o be_v everlasting_a life_n that_o they_o know_v the_o only_a god_n and_o that_o jesu_n christ_n who_o thou_o have_v send_v unto_o which_o knowledge_n we_o must_v

by_o grace_n through_o the_o light_n of_o he_o that_o may_v lighten_v our_o understandynge_n and_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o rest_v we_o shall_v in_o continual_a darkness_n if_o those_o inward_a eye_n receive_v not_o light_v by_o that_o supernal_a son_n as_o our_o natural_a eye_n have_v power_n to_o discern_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n by_o the_o son_n that_o we_o daily_o see_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n true_a that_o we_o know_v not_o god_n if_o first_o he_o know_v not_o us._n for_o like_a as_o if_o our_o mortal_a eye_n woull_n see_v the_o son_n it_o be_v first_o necessary_a that_o the_o son_n show_v himself_o euin_n so_o willing_a with_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o mind_n to_o see_v god_n it_o behove_v he_o first_o with_o the_o light_n of_o his_o own_o light_n to_o discover_v himself_o unto_o we_o which_o the_o divine_a bountee_n have_v do_z not_o only_o by_o geve_v we_o most_o large_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o send_v into_o earth_n his_o only_a beget_v son_n who_o be_v as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v the_o true_a light_n and_o it_o that_o lighten_v every_o man_n come_n into_o this_o world_n but_o also_o by_o the_o continual_a send_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o the_o herte_n of_o his_o elect_a with_o say_v to_o kendle_n in_o they_o the_o light_n of_o his_o grace_n this_o light_n than_o of_o the_o everlasting_a son_n be_v spread_v over_o we_o have_v discover_v unto_o our_o eye_n the_o light_n of_o our_o immortal_a part_n by_o the_o which_o behold_v god_n through_o christ_n we_o may_v by_o our_o say_v in_o christ_n come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n but_o to_o this_o say_v and_o belefe_v there_o behove_v no_o small_a consideration_n for_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o way_n of_o life_n mainteign_v our_o say_v lively_a with_o good_a work_v because_o that_o like_a as_o work_n without_o say_v be_v not_o receive_v of_o god_n for_o just_a necessary_a even_o so_o our_o say_v be_v but_o dead_a if_o it_o show_v not_o herself_o fruitful_a by_o charitable_a work_n and_o as_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v haboundaunt_a in_o we_o without_o our_o deserve_n so_o with_o our_o good_a work_v aught_o we_o to_o follow_v his_o commandment_n to_o make_v ourselves_o apt_a vessel_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o virtue_n and_o to_o become_v lively_a tabernacle_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o paul_n say_v not_o they_o that_o hear_v the_o law_n but_o they_o that_o fulfil_v the_o law_n shall_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n do_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o though_o we_o have_v our_o justification_n of_o say_v yet_o in_o manner_n it_o suffice_v we_o not_o without_o work_n and_o james_n the_o apostle_n write_v that_o if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o have_v say_v and_o woork_v not_o his_z say_v be_v dead_a and_o follow_v in_o speak_v of_o abraham_n justification_n he_o say_v that_o through_o his_o work_n he_o be_v justify_v have_v offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n unto_o the_o altar_n and_o that_o say_v do_v help_v he_o to_o work_v which_o say_v through_o the_o work_n be_v make_v perfect_a and_o add_v furthermore_o these_o word_n behold_v therefore_o that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o dede_n and_o not_o by_o his_o faith_n only_o to_o the_o prouffe_n whereof_o he_o allege_v a_o other_o example_n of_o raab_n who_o for_o save_v rhe_n messenger_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v save_v herself_o and_o say_v on_o this_o wise_n likewise_o be_v not_o raab_n the_o harlot_n justify_v by_o she_o work_v have_v receive_v the_o messenger_n and_o convey_v they_o away_o wherefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o as_o the_o body_n without_o spyrite_n be_v dead_a evin_n so_o be_v say_v without_o work_v but_o this_o you_o must_v consider_v he_o have_v not_o write_v to_o extol_v work_n withal_o or_o to_o take_v from_o god_n any_o part_n of_o his_o glory_n who_o of_o his_o divine_a bountee_n by_o mere_a grace_n &_o by_o say_v only_o do_v justify_v we_o but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o be_v already_o assure_v in_o say_v we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o ready_a with_o good_a work_n to_o confirm_v and_o increase_v our_o say_v for_o this_o lively_a and_o work_a say_v be_v it_o that_o christ_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v so_o let_v your_o light_a shine_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_v for_o if_o you_o keep_v your_o say_v close_v in_o your_o herte_n without_o work_v it_o can_v geve_v no_o light_n at_o all_o as_o it_o may_v appear_v also_o by_o that_o other_o sai_v of_o christ_n i_o be_o the_o vine_n and_o you_o the_o branch_n and_o they_o that_o bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n shall_v be_v shred_n away_o for_o christ_n be_v our_o body_n and_o we_o his_o membre_n he_o will_v we_o shall_v know_v that_o he_o woull_n not_o take_v they_o for_o his_o membre_n that_o woull_n not_o travail_v by_o well_o work_v to_o persevere_v in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o exaumple_v of_o the_o curse_n he_o give_v unto_o the_o fig_n tree_n that_o he_o find_v fruitless_a ¶_o but_o because_o this_o matter_n be_v more_o than_o evident_a it_o be_v time_n we_o enter_v to_o diffine_n what_o those_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v which_o we_o shall_v work_v willing_a to_o remain_v in_o the_o astate_n of_o jesu_fw-la christ._n and_o where_o can_v we_o so_o well_o learn_v it_o as_o of_o christ_n himself_o who_o have_v say_v before_o that_o all_o the_o

their_o foot_n and_o licence_v judas_n to_o go_v about_o his_o bargain_n he_o ordeign_v his_o testament_n in_o the_o which_o amongst_o other_o thing_n the_o word_n of_o his_o will_n be_v these_o ¶_o the_o testament_n of_o christ._n i_o geve_v you_o a_o new_a commandment_n that_o you_o love_v well_o to_o gethers_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o so_o love_v you_o one_o a_o other_o and_o thereby_o
