Now whosoever transgresseth these laws, either the general laws, or the special laws, he sinneth: and that which is done contrary to these laws, is sin. When ye will know now whether ye have sinned or not, see and consider1 these laws, and then go into thy heart, and consider thy living, how thou hast spent all thy days: when thou doest so, no doubt thou shalt find innumerable sins done against these laws: for the law of god is a glass wherein a man may see his spots and filthiness: therefore when we see them, let2 us abhor them and leave them: let us be sorry for that which is passed, and let us take a good purpose to leave all sins, from hence forward. And this is it that S. Paul saith, let us arise from the sleep of sin and wickedness, for our salvation is come […]: our saviour he is clearly opened unto us, he hath suffered for us already, and fulfilled the law to the utter […]: and so by his fulfilling taken away the curse of the law.
Now whosoeuer transgresseth these lawes, eyther the generall lawes, or the speciall lawes, he sinneth: and that whiche is done contrary to these lawes, is synne. When ye will know now whether ye haue sinned or not, see and consider1 these lawes, and then go into thy heart, and consider thy lyuyng, how thou hast spent al thy dayes: when thou doest so, no doute thou shalt finde innumerable sinnes done against these lawes: for the law of god is a glasse wherin a man may see his spottes and filthines: therfore when we see them, let2 vs abhorre them and leaue them: let vs be sory for that which is passed, and let vs take a good purpose to leaue all sinnes, from hence forward. And this is it yt S. Paule saith, let vs arise from the slepe of sinne and wickednes, for our saluation is come 〈…〉: our sauiour he is clerely opened vnto vs, he hath suffred for vs alredy, and fulfylled the lawe to the vtter 〈…〉: and so by hys fulfylling taken awaye the curse of the lawe.
