¶ But thou reader thīke of [the] law of God how [that] it is all to gether spirituall/ & so spirituall [that] it is neuer fulfilled [with] dedes or werkes/ vntill they flow out of thyne herte [with] as greate loue toward thy neyboure/ for no deseruīge of his ye though he be thine enimie/ as Christ loued [the] ād did for the/ for no deseruīge of thyne/ but evē whē thou wast his enimie. And in [the] meane time/ thoroute all our infancie & childhod in Christ/ tyll we be growen vpp in to perfecte men in the full knowlege of christ & full loue of christ agayne & of oure neyboures for his sake/ after [the] ensample of his loue to vs/ rembenbir that [the] fulfillynge of [the] law is/ a fast fayth in christes bloud coupled [with] our professiō & submyttīge our selues to lerne to doo better. ¶ And of [the] Gospell or promises which thou metest in [the] scripture/ beleue fast [that] God will fulfill them vn to [the]/ and that vn to [the] vttemost Iott/ at the repentaunce of thyne herte/ whē thou turnest to hym & forsakest euell/ even of his goodnesse & fatherly mercie vn to the/ ād not for thy flatterīge hym with ypocritish workes of thyne awne fayninge. So [that] a fast faith only with out respecte of all workes/ is the forgeuenesse both of the synne which we did in tyme of ignoraunce with luste ād cōsent to synne/ & also of all the synne which we doo by chaunce & of frailte/ after [that] we are come to knowlege ād have professed [the] law out of oure hertes. And all dedes serue only for to helpe oure neyboures & to tame oure flesh that we fall not to synne agayne/ & to exercice oure soules in vertue/ & not to make satisfaction to Godward for [the] synne [that] is once paste. ¶ And all other stories of [the] bible/ with out excepciō/ are [the] practisinge of [the] law & of the Gospell/ and are true and faitfull ensamples & sure erneste [that] God will euen so deale with vs/ as he did with thē/ in all infirmities/ in all temptaciōs/ & in all like cases & chaunces. Wherin ye se on [the] one syde/ how fatherly & tendirly & with all cōpassion god entreateth his electe which submitte them selues as scolers/ to lerne to walke in the wayes of his lawes/ & to kepe thē of loue. If they forgatt thē selues at a time & wēt astraye/ he sought thē out & sett thē agayne with all mercie. If they fell & hurte thē selues/ he healed thē agayne with all compassion & tendernesse of hert. He hath ofte brought greate tribulation & aduersite vppon his electe: but all of fatherly loue only/ to teach thē & to make them se their awne hertes & [the] sinne [that] there laye hid/ that they might aftirwarde feale his mercie. For his mercie wayted vppon thē/ to rid them out agayne/ assone as they ware lerned & come to [the] knowlege of their awne hertes: so that he neuer cast man awaye how depe so euer he had sinned/ saue thē ōly which had first cast [the] yocke of his lawes frō their neckes/ with vtter diffiaunce & malice of herte.
