By this now that I have said ye may perceive what […] 1of sleeping is this of which S. Paul speaketh […], name lye the sleep of sin. […] we […] and spend our time in wickedness than we sleep that deadly sleep, which bringeth eternal damnation with him: and again, ye have heard how you shall rise up from that sleep, how ye shall fight and […] stle with sin, not suffer her to be the […] over you: […] therefore begin even now while god giveth us so good and convenient a time, let us tarry no longer, let us awake from this deadly sleep of sin: it may well be called a deadly sleep: for this sleep of sin bringeth eternal death and everlasting […] nes and sorrows: Let us therefore rise to a godly life and continue in the same till to the end. These things S. Paul […] generally to all men, and against all manner of […]: but […] he cometh to […]. And first he showeth what […] ⟨p. 114⟩shall not do, then afterward he telleth us what we shall do. Not in eating and drinking, neither in chambering and wan tonnes:2 neither in […] and cnuying.

In the beginning (I say) mankind eat nothing, but herbs, and […], and salads, and such gear as they could […]: but4 after the flood god gave unto mankind liberty to eat all manner of clean beasts, all things that had life, be it fish or […]. And this was done for this cause, that the earth was not so frambde nor brought not forth so wholesome herbs after the […], as she did before the flood: there fore God allowed unto man all manner of meat be it fish5 or flesh: yet it must be done measurably: But seeing I have occasion to speak of eating, I will entreat somewhat of it, and tell you what liberties we have by gods word. Truly we be allowed by God's word to eat all manner of meat be it fish or […], that be eatable. But ye must understand that there be certain hedges, over which we ought not to leap, but rather keep our selves within those same hedges.
