there_o be_v no_o mercy_n or_o pity_n there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n leave_v upon_o the_o earth_n backbiting_a lie_v murder_n theft_n adultery_n have_v overflow_v the_o world_n perjury_n reign_v every_o where_o and_o great_a pity_n it_o be_v to_o see_v how_o the_o precious_a name_n of_o almighty_a god_n be_v take_v in_o vain_a in_o all_o place_n no_o oath_n shall_v be_v give_v but_o three_o thing_n concurrent_a as_o jeremy_n the_o prophet_n in_o his_o 4._o chapter_n teach_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o judgement_n when_o a_o man_n be_v call_v thither_o to_o show_v the_o truth_n and_o for_o justice_n there_o to_o be_v minister_v to_o put_v away_o wrong_v do_v and_o for_o truth_n that_o falsehood_n may_v take_v no_o place_n there_o else_o no_o oath_n shall_v be_v give_v by_o god_n law_n but_o we_o shall_v affirm_v our_o say_n by_o yea_o yea_o and_o deny_v by_o nay_o nay_o as_o christ_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o 5._o of_o matthew_n but_o now_o every_o thing_n that_o we_o affirm_v or_o deny_v must_v have_v a_o oath_n couple_v with_o it_o when_o man_n do_v buy_v or_o sell_v any_o thing_n more_o oath_n be_v oftentimes_o interchange_v betwixt_o they_o than_o penny_n that_o the_o thing_n be_v sell_v for_o in_o communication_n and_o all_o pastime_n as_o many_o oath_n as_o word_n be_v use_v in_o play_v at_o any_o game_n there_o the_o tear_v of_o god_n name_n and_o particular_a mention_n of_o all_o the_o wound_n and_o pain_n that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o be_v contumelious_o in_o vain_a bring_v forth_o if_o a_o muster_n shall_v be_v take_v of_o swearer_n i_o think_v that_o some_o crooked_a piece_n shall_v be_v find_v not_o able_a to_o take_v the_o king_n wage_n that_o will_v swear_v as_o great_a oath_n and_o as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o the_o best_a and_o most_o able_a man_n on_o the_o field_n they_o think_v that_o great_a oath_n do_v make_v they_o to_o be_v of_o more_o estimation_n and_o therefore_o they_o swear_v at_o every_o word_n but_o sure_o they_o be_v foul_o deceive_v for_o oath_n be_v ordain_v where_o need_n be_v that_o truth_n shall_v not_o perish_v and_o that_o they_o may_v finish_v debate_n among_o man_n as_o paul_n say_v in_o the_o six_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n but_o he_o that_o at_o every_o word_n swear_v declare_v plain_o that_o no_o credence_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o he_o join_v to_o every_o word_n a_o oath_n as_o a_o surety_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o acknowledge_v the_o lack_n of_o truth_n to_o be_v in_o his_o word_n as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v offer_v a_o great_a substantial_a surety_n when_o he_o will_v borrow_v a_o penny_n of_o his_o neighbour_n he_o plain_o shall_v make_v his_o neighbour_n thereby_o to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v of_o no_o credence_n that_o will_v for_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n offer_v so_o great_a a_o surety_n where_o no_o need_n be_v so_o to_o do_v i_o fear_v i_o the_o great_a role_n of_o twenty_o cubit_n in_o length_n and_o ten_o cubit_n in_o breadth_n which_o the_o prophet_n zacharie_n see_v fly_v in_o the_o air_n in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n which_o as_o the_o angel_n show_v to_o he_o do_v contain_v the_o great_a malediction_n of_o god_n against_o thief_n and_o against_o swearor_n that_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o it_o do_v fly_v now_o over_o our_o head_n i_o pray_v god_n we_o may_v avoid_v the_o danger_n of_o it_o and_o abstain_v hereafter_o so_o to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a as_o be_v now_o common_o use_v we_o do_v profess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n with_o our_o mouth_n and_o have_v the_o book_n oft_o in_o our_o hand_n but_o we_o learn_v it_o not_o as_o we_o shall_v do_v for_o the_o gospel_n be_v give_v to_o we_o to_o know_v god_n thereby_o and_o to_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o live_v by_o but_o we_o much_o do_v talk_v of_o it_o which_o be_v very_o well_o do_v and_o yet_o we_o nothing_o regard_n to_o amend_v our_o life_n thereby_o and_o to_o live_v as_o it_o bid_v we_o but_o we_o do_v use_v the_o gospel_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o book_n of_o problem_n to_o dispute_v upon_o and_o care_v not_o to_o amend_v our_o live_n as_o it_o teach_v we_o which_o shall_v be_v to_o our_o great_a punishment_n for_o a_o servant_n that_o know_v his_o lord_n pleasure_n and_o not_o fulfil_v it_o be_v more_o grievous_o to_o be_v punish_v than_o he_o that_o know_v it_o not_o as_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o luke_n we_o much_o extol_v faith_n as_o it_o be_v much_o worthy_a but_o work_n and_o deed_n many_o man_n care_v not_o for_o say_v god_n regard_v they_o nothing_o for_o faith_n alone_o justify_v we_o and_o not_o our_o work_n here_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o no_o deed_n nor_o work_n that_o be_v do_v by_o man_n without_o faith_n can_v ever_o help_v he_o to_o heaven_n for_o like_a as_o a_o man_n that_o run_v out_o of_o the_o race_n where_o the_o course_n be_v set_v though_o he_o run_v never_o so_o fast_o win_v no_o game_n so_o a_o man_n that_o do_v good_a deed_n moral_a without_o faith_n deserve_v of_o god_n no_o reward_n for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v the_o 11._o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n but_o if_o he_o do_v good_a deed_n with_o faith_n than_o they_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v reward_v he_o for_o they_o and_o saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o always_o to_o be_v occupy_v in_o do_v of_o good_a work_n for_o albeit_o no_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n alone_o yet_o after_o he_o have_v faith_n he_o must_v join_v good_a work_n with_o it_o if_o he_o have_v any_o time_n thereto_o or_o else_o his_o faith_n be_v unprofitable_a unto_o he_o for_o the_o faith_n that_o by_o grace_n do_v justify_v be_v the_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o charity_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o galatian_n in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n and_o not_o a_o idle_a faith_n which_o saint_n james_n in_o his_o epistle_n call_v a_o dead_a faith_n saint_n paul_n say_v also_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n that_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n and_o saint_n james_n in_o his_o epistle_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n do_v liken_v he_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o there_o after_o unto_o a_o man_n that_o look_v in_o a_o glass_n and_o after_o he_o have_v so_o do_v lay_v it_o down_o and_o forget_v that_o he_o look_v in_o it_o and_o think_v of_o other_o matter_n and_o where_o they_o say_v that_o faith_n alone_o justify_v that_o be_v untrue_a and_o against_o saint_n james_n in_o the_o 2._o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o his_o faith_n alone_o also_o to_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n repentance_n of_o his_o evil_a life_n pass_v be_v necessary_o first_o require_v and_o must_v needs_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n before_o he_o be_v justify_v for_o else_o if_o he_o repent_v not_o he_o remain_v still_o in_o sin_n and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o justify_v and_o all_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n begin_v at_o repentance_n and_o penance_n so_o that_o faith_n without_o that_o can_v help_v wherefore_o it_o be_v never_o true_a that_o faith_n alone_o justify_v for_o grace_n of_o god_n must_v go_v before_o faith_n and_o on_o our_o behalf_n repentance_n and_o charity_n must_v be_v join_v with_o faith_n and_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o be_v penance_n and_o so_o be_v charity_n so_o be_v hope_n but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n who_o grant_v all_o go_v before_o all_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o our_o good_a deed_n do_v before_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v for_o lack_v of_o faith_n but_o join_v unto_o faith_n they_o do_v help_v for_o come_v after_o faith_n they_o help_v to_o make_v we_o more_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o 21._o of_o the_o apocalypse_n let_v he_o that_o be_v right_a wise_a be_v yet_o more_o justify_v and_o that_o almighty_a god_n require_v of_o we_o good_a work_n it_o appear_v in_o the_o 21._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n and_o the_o 11._o of_o mark_n where_o christ_n come_v to_o a_o fig_n tree_n full_a of_o leaf_n have_v no_o fruit_n which_o he_o seek_v in_o it_o by_o his_o curse_n do_v make_v it_o seere_z so_o if_o we_o be_v the_o tree_n bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n have_v time_n thereto_o neither_o the_o root_n of_o faith_n nor_o the_o leaf_n of_o word_n can_v alone_o help_v we_o another_o parable_n in_o the_o 13._o
