[The Pentateuch]

If thou wilt vow pilgrimage / thou must put salt thereto in like manner if it shall be accepted / if thou vow to go and visit the poor or to here gods word or what soever edifieth thy soul unto love & good work after knowledge or what soever god commandeth / it is well done and a sacrifice that savoureth well ye will haply say / that ye will go to this or y• place because god hath chosen one place more then another and will hear your petition more in one place then another. As for your prayer it must be according to God's word. Ye may not desire god to take vengeance on him whom God's word •eacheth you to pity & to pray for. And as for y• other gloss / y• god will hear you more in one place than in another / I suppose it sal infatu•t•m / salt unsavoury / for if it were wisdom how could ⟨image 245⟩we excuse the death of stevē Acts .vij. which dyed for that article that god dwelleth not in ten ples made with hands we that believe in god are y• temple of god saith paul / if a man love god & keep his word he is the temple of god & hath god presently dwelling in him / as witnesseth christ Johan .xiiij. saying: If a man love me he will keep my word / & then my father will love him & we will come unto him and dwell with him. And in the .xv. he saith: if ye abide in me and my words also abide in you / then axe what ye will & ye shall have it. If thou believe in christ & hast the promises which god hath made the in thine heart / then go on pilgrimage unto thine own heart and there pray & god will hear y• for his mercy and truths sake and for his son christs sake and not for a few stones sakes. What careth god for the temple? The very beasts in that they have life in them be much better then an heap of stones couched together.
