for whosoever […] to be avenged he shall not be blessed of god. Again whosoever suffereth wrong at his neighbours hand, and taketh it willingly, he shall be blessed of god.

An ensample we have in Joseph: his brethren sold him1 and handled him most cruelly and tyrannously, what did he? he toke it willingly without any revengement: what did god? Mary he fulfilled his promise, inheritabunt terram, they shall inherit the land. Therefore he made him lord over all Egypt, this did god, and so he will do unto us: but our heart is so poisoned with the poison of malice, that we think we should be undone, when we should not avenge our selves, but they that have the spirit of god, and to whom these blessings pertain, they […] charitable, and yet use the law when necessity shall […] so, but they will do it with a godly mind.
An ensample we haue in Ioseph: his brethren solde hym1 and handled him most cruelly and tyrannously, what did he? he toke it wyllyngly without any reuengement: what dyd god? Mary he fulfilled his promise, inheritabunt terram, they shall inherite the lande. Therfore he made him lorde ouer al Egipt, this did god, and so he wyll do vnto vs: but our heart is so poysoned with the poison of malice, that we thynke we shoulde be vndone, when we should not auenge our selues, but they that haue the spirite of god, and to whom these blessynges pertayne, they 〈…〉 charitable, and yet vse the law when necessitie shall 〈…〉 so, but they wyll doe it wyth a godlye mynde.
