for no man borne into this world is without sin, save Christ only. The scheledoctors say the was arrogant. One came & told our saviour as he was teaching: Sir thy mother is here, & would speak we thee, he made answer like as he did wham he was but 12. year old: opoitet meesle so he sayeth now stretching out his hands who is my mother? […] facit volutatē patris1 mei […] est in […] he that doth the will of my father that is in heaven. Lucas saith, qui audit verbū dei & facit istud, he that heareth the word of god & doth it. Mark this well he saith that doth it: let us […]: let us not only be hearers, but doers, then we shall be accor ding to his promise, his brethren, & sistern, we must hear his word & do it. For truly if Mary his mother had not heard his2 word & believed it, she should never have been saved. For the was not saved because she was his natural mother but because she believed in hi, because she was his spiritual mother. Remember therefore ye all that do his will, are his kinsfolk. But remember that in an other place he saith Nō om̄es qui dicunt […] ⟨image 37⟩Domine domine introibunt, Not all that say, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; here you see that the matter standeth not in saying, but in doing, do his will, and than resort unto him and thou shalt be welcome. We […] in Luke: where our saviour said, […] qui […] domini, & non facit, vapulabit multis, that servant that […] weth the will of his master and doth it not shall be […].3 with many stripes: He that knou […], but not so much. We must first know & than to, it is a good thing to know, but it is a […] thing to know and not to do: it is a great sin, to slander gods word with wicked if uyng, as it is commonly seen amongest men. But this fault if it be not amended shall have grievous punishment.
