As A purgation made for the body (which Galenus callithe humorum qui sua qualitate molestant, evacuationem. That is to say a cleansing of such humours / as be hurtful) many times worketh not his operation / by reason of the isle temperature of the body / or else of the ⟨p. XXVI⟩region / that to much / by reason of heat / draw• the humours of man / into the exterior parts of the body so the word of God / poured into the ears / and understanding of man worketh not many times / his operation / in cleansing the sol from the humours / and corruption of sin: by reason of •hi•e temperature / and disposition of the persons / that useth to read / and hire the scripture. As the physician therefore / yevit the patient / first some preparative to dispose / and make apt the body / to receive the purgation with fruit / and commodity: so doth Moses prepare / first to make his auditors apt to hire the commandments / that after ward they might receive them with fruit / and profit. How to proceed in the science / and practise of physic / learn of Galen and Hippoc. or of such as professeth that art. My purpose is / to show how Moses proceedeth in the celestial science of divinity: to cure the sol of man. He prescribeth unto his audience 7. rules / or precepts / where with he prepareth them / unto the receiving of the Ten commandments. and with out them / it availeth nothing / to hire / or read the commandments / or any other place of the scripture.
