[The Pentateuch]

Note also the mighty hand of the Lord how he playeth with his adversaries and provoketh them and stirreth them up a little and a little, and delivereth not his people in an hour: that both the patience of his elect and also the worldly wit and wily policy of the wicked wherewith they fight against god, might appear.

Note also the mightye hand of the Lorde how he playeth with his aduersaries ād provoketh thē ād sturreth thē vpp a litle ād a litle, ād deliuereth not his people in an houre: that both the paciēce of his electe ād also the worldly witte ād wilye policye of the weked wherwith they fight agaynst god, might appeare.

Mark the longsuffering and soft patience of Moses and how he loveth the people and is ever between the wrath of god and them and is ready to live and dye with them and to be put out of the book that god had written for their sakes (as Paul for his brethren Roma .ix.) and how he taketh his own wrongs patiently and never avengeth him self. And make not Moses a figure of Christ with Rochester: but an ensample unto all princes and to all that are in authority how to rule unto God's pleasure and unto their neighbours profit. For there is not a perfecter life in this world both to the honour of god and profit of his neighbour nor yet a greater cross, then to rule christianly. And of Aaron also see that thou make no figure of christ until he come unto his sacrificing, but an ensample unto all preachers of God's word, that they add nothing unto God's word or take ought therefrom.

Marke the longesoferinge and softe paciē ce of Moses and how he loveth the people ād is euer betwene the wrath of god ād thē ād is readye to lyue ād dye with thē ād to be put out of the boke that god had writen for their sakes (as Paule for his brothren Roma .ix.) and how he taketh his awne wrōges pacientlie ād never avengeth him silf. And make not Moses a figure of Christ with Rochestre: but an ensample vnto all princes ād to all that are in authorite how to rule vnto goddes pleasure ād vnto their neyghbours profette. For there is not a perfecter lyffe in this world both to the honoure of god and profytte of his neygboure nor yet a greatter crosse, thē to rule christenlye. And of Aaren also se that thou make no figure of christ vntill he come vnto his sacrifisinge, but an ensample vnto all preachers of goddes worde, that they adde nothinge vnto goddes worde or take ought therfro.
