do_v my_o best_a endeavour_n therein_o say_v probus_n the_o first_o instrvction_n show_v to_o what_o end_n god_n create_v man_n &_o place_v he_o upon_o earth_n cap._n 2_o the_o first_o instruction_n say_v alphonso_n &_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o often_o &_o serious_o to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o god_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o father_n teach_v create_v and_o send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n not_o to_o enjoy_v &_o rest_v in_o the_o transitory_a commodity_n &_o pleasure_n thereof_o but_o that_o take_v of_o god_n creature_n so_o much_o as_o may_v suffice_v our_o necessity_n we_o occupy_v &_o bestow_v ourselves_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o have_v in_o serve_v &_o honour_v our_o lord_n who_o haith_v prepare_v for_o our_o reward_n the_o bliss_n of_o heaven_n wherein_o we_o shall_v possess_v for_o ever_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v a_o infinite_a good_a and_o in_o he_o all_o good_a thing_n more_o abundant_o than_o we_o can_v imagine_v to_o honour_v &_o serve_v god_n therefore_o my_o sonn_n be_v we_o come_v into_o this_o world_n all_o we_o do_v besides_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o lose_v labour_n vain_a &_o hurtful_a trifle_a dishonourable_a to_o the_o noble_a child_n of_o such_o a_o father_n as_o god_n be_v no_o doubt_n father_n say_v probus_n but_o we_o be_v create_v to_o serve_v god_n as_o you_o say_v but_o what_o kind_n of_o service_n do_v god_n require_v of_o man_n &_o be_v by_o man_n of_o bound_n &_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v the_o second_o instrvction_n of_o two_o manner_n how_o to_o serve_v god_n &_o how_o man_n be_v bind_v unto_o they_o cap._n 3._o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o seruinge_a god_n say_v alphonso_n &_o two_o way_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v we_o bind_v to_o serve_v he_o the_o sirste_n be_v in_o the_o observe_n of_o god_n commandment_n which_o we_o be_v all_o bind_v to_o keep_v under_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n to_o hell_n fire_n the_o second_o be_v more_o perfect_a &_o be_v this_o that_o forsake_v all_o earthly_a thing_n and_o withdrawinge_v our_o heart_n from_o the_o love_n thereof_o we_o cast_v our_o affection_n whole_o upon_o our_o heavenlye_a father_n which_o be_v a_o infinite_a goodness_n &_o in_o all_o thing_n labour_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o spirit_n &_o will_n with_o he_o accord_v to_o the_o example_n which_o our_o savioure_n the_o natural_a sonn_n of_o god_n leave_v we_o while_o he_o serve_v here_o on_o earth_n not_o for_o any_o need_n of_o his_o own_o but_o to_o instruct_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o serve_v our_o lord_n this_o way_n christ_n teach_v the_o young_a man_n which_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n when_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v be_v perfect_a geve_v all_o thou_o have_v to_o the_o poor_a &_o come_v &_o follow_v i_o how_o be_v christian_n bind_v to_o this_o manner_n of_o service_n say_v probus_n not_o under_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n say_v alphonso_n as_o in_o the_o first_o way_n but_o by_o a_o law_n of_o frendshipp_n with_o god_n of_o equity_n &_o gratitude_n wherein_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o will_v not_o be_v reckon_v base-minded_a ungrateful_a &_o foolish_a shall_v most_o careful_o keep_v themselves_o that_o they_o may_v appear_v the_o worthy_a child_n of_o so_o graceous_a a_o father_n for_o to_o all_o it_o be_v give_v in_o commandment_n that_o we_o love_v our_o lord_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n with_o all_o our_o hart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o to_o all_o he_o say_v be_v you_o perfect_a as_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v as_o he_o deserve_v much_o blame_n that_o go_v to_o some_o place_n for_o dispatch_v of_o some_o weighty_a &_o necessary_a affair_n &_o neglect_v &_o leave_v the_o thing_n he_o go_v to_o do_v trifle_v away_o his_o time_n in_o vile_a sport_n &_o abject_a thing_n so_o likewise_o be_v he_o much_o blame_v worthy_a that_o be_v bear_v into_o this_o world_n to_o serve_v the_o high_a majesty_n of_o god_n with_o all_o his_o power_n &_o ability_n which_o service_n be_v most_o due_a unto_o god_n &_o most_o profitable_a to_o the_o servant_n yet_o omittethe_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o command_v he_o under_o pain_n of_o death_n bestow_v himself_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n in_o a_o mean_a and_o more_o abiecte_a kind_n of_o service_n mix_v with_o much_o worldly_a vanity_n that_o most_o swift_o pass_v away_o &_o bringethe_v with_o it_o much_o evil_n and_o albeit_o god_n haith_v leave_v it_o in_o our_o free_a choice_n and_o curtefye_v yet_o the_o bind_v of_o frendshipp_n equity_n &_o gratitude_n require_v that_o we_o endevoure_v to_o serve_v he_o to_o who_o all_o honour_n and_o service_n be_v most_o due_a in_o the_o best_a manner_n we_o be_v able_a the_o first_o way_n to_o serve_v god_n say_v probus_n be_v plame_z &_o manifest_a to_o all_o christian_n but_o the_o other_o appertain_v only_o to_o you_o eremite_v to_o religious_a person_n and_o clergy_n man_n as_o the_o first_o say_v alphonso_n be_v common_a to_o all_o christian_n &_o teach_v every_o where_o so_o there_o be_v no_o christian_a but_o he_o may_v be_v teach_v learn_v &_o perform_v the_o second_o i_o can_v hardly_o think_v so_o say_v probus_n for_o we_o may_v not_o all_o forsake_v the_o world_n &_o cast_v all_o our_o heart_n upon_o this_o perfect_a seruinge_n of_o god_n you_o speak_v of_o no_o person_n say_v alphonso_n be_v make_v a_o christian_a before_o he_o first_o solemn_o renounce_v the_o world_n with_o all_o the_o pomp_n &_o vanity_n thereof_o &_o yield_v himself_o to_o the_o obedience_n &_o service_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o profession_n not_o only_o of_o ermit_n religious_a person_n &_o priest_n but_o of_o all_o true_a christian_n also_o be_v to_o forsake_v the_o world_n &_o serve_v their_o lord_n with_o all_o they_o be_v &_o have_v for_o as_o i_o say_v god_n create_v man_n for_o this_o end_n &_o for_o all_o temporal_a &_o earthly_a thing_n no_o man_n do_v right_o use_v they_o or_o can_v have_v they_o but_o to_o his_o exceedinge_n harm_n unless_o he_o turn_v they_o whole_o to_o the_o service_n &_o honour_n of_o his_o lord_n who_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v &_o not_o mannes_z but_o for_o a_o little_a time_n to_o use_v as_o god_n haith_v ordain_v &_o command_v which_o service_n we_o ought_v to_o yield_v to_o god_n not_o only_o in_o keep_v his_o general_a commandment_n but_o in_o the_o perfect_a manner_n as_o christ_n our_o lord_n by_o his_o own_o exawple_n haith_v teach_v we_o all_o and_o this_o second_o be_v that_o which_o now_o i_o purpose_v to_o teach_v you_o that_o be_v how_o rich_a man_n artificer_n &_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n may_v serve_v their_o lord_n and_o god_n most_o perfect_o this_o will_v be_v most_o comfortable_a to_o we_o of_o the_o world_n say_v probus_n but_o it_o seem_v a_o most_o difficult_a thing_n to_o be_v do_v the_o three_o instruction_n of_o the_o woeful_a ruin_n &_o destruction_n make_v in_o man_n soul_n &_o body_n by_o sin_n by_o reason_n whereof_o he_o find_v great_a difficultye_n in_o seruinge_v god_n cap._n 4_o you_o must_v know_v moreover_o say_v alphonso_n that_o if_o man_n have_v continue_v in_o the_o happy_a state_n wherein_o god_n create_v he_o at_o the_o first_o when_o he_o place_v he_o in_o paradise_n it_o have_v be_v no_o difficulty_n for_o he_o to_o have_v serve_v god_n in_o most_o perfect_a manner_n &_o to_o have_v wrought_v any_o good_a for_o they_o by_o original_a justice_n his_o sesuality_n &_o inferior_a power_n be_v keep_v in_o most_o seemly_a order_n &_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o his_o reason_n &_o will_n and_o these_o again_o be_v guide_v &_o assist_v by_o singular_a &_o abundante_fw-la grace_n easy_o to_o obey_v &_o serve_v god_n &_o work_v any_o good_a but_o after_o once_o by_o the_o evil_a use_n of_o his_o free_a will_n he_o sin_v &_o transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o his_o lord_n he_o with_o all_o his_o progeny_n be_v spoil_v of_o those_o graceous_a gift_n &_o cast_v out_o of_o that_o happy_a state_n &_o place_n into_o the_o banishment_n of_o this_o miserable_a world_n his_o appetite_n his_o will_n and_o whole_a soul_n become_v so_o infirm_a &_o disease_a that_o loathe_v the_o infinite_a good_a for_o which_o he_o be_v create_v as_o a_o thing_n wherein_o now_o he_o take_v no_o delight_n or_o pleasant_a taste_n &_o aver_v from_o all_o good_a he_o be_v ever_o since_o incline_v
