¶Thou shalt bear no false witness ⟨image 23⟩against thy neighbour.
¶Thou shalt bere no false witnesse ⟨image 23⟩ageynst thy neyboure.
Therefore it is forbidden us to hurt any kind of our neighbours goods / but contrary wife commanded that we should increase them. Now if we look on the law of nature / we shall soon perceive how marvellous / equal / good and righteous these precepts are. For there is nothing commanded in all these that pertain either to god or to our neigh boure / but that every man would that it should be performed toward him self if he were in the stead of god or of his neighbour,
THerfore it is forboden vs to hurte any kinde of oure neyghboures goodes / but cōtrary wyfe cōmaunded that we shuld encreace theim. Nowe yf we loke on the lawe of nature / we shall sone perceyue howe merueylous / equall / good and ryghtuous these preceptes are. For there is nothing cōmaunded in all these that perteyne eyther to god or to oure neygh boure / but that euery man wolde that it shulde be perfourmed touward hym selfe yf he were in the stede of god or of his neyghboure,
