2 This commandment is set down in the last place, because ⟨p. 98⟩the best method in teaching, is, to proceed from the things that are known, unto the things that are less known: Now these things which do consist in a determined will, and afore appointed deliberation or outward act, are better known then the inward thoughts, which very few think to be sin, so they do not break out into actions, and none (as PAUL testifieth) can account them to be sinful, except the assent be joined unto them, save only those who are instructed by this commandment.
