Again,1 he that loveth his neighbour sincerely, will by no means hurt him, nor work any evil against him. He will not disobey his superiors. He will commit no manslaughter, whoredom, theft, nor bear any false witness nor yet covet that, which should be hindrance to his neighbour, but he will gladly & with a free spirit do unto the uttermost of his power, what so ever the Scripture requireth of him, as Christ saith, if any man loveth me, he will keep my word, and my father shall love him, & we will come to him & dwell with him. He that loveth not me, keepeth not my words.2 He that hath my Commandments & keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, & he that loveth me, shall ⟨image 95⟩be loved of my father, & I will love him & show my self unto him. How doth this your flour please you?

He wyl commyt no manslaughter, whoredome, thefte, nor beare ony false wytnes nor yet couyt that, which shoulde be hynderaūce to his neyghbour, but he wyl gladly & with a free spirite do vnto the vttermooste of his power, what so euer the Scripture requireth of hym, as Christ sayth, yf ony man loueth me, he wyll kepe my word, and my father shall loue hym, & we wyl come to hym & dwell with hym. He that loueth not me, kepeth not my wordes.2 He that hath my Commaū dementes & kepeth thē, he it is that loueth me, & he that loueth me, shall ⟨image 95⟩be loued of my father, & I wyl loue hym & shewe my selfe vnto hī. How dothe this youre floure please you?
