[The Pentateuch]

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.

Note also how god sendeth his promise to ⟨image 92⟩the people and Moses confirmeth it with miracles and the people believe. But when temptation cometh they fall into unbelief and few bide standing. Where thou seest that all be not christen that will be so called, and that the cross trieth the true from the feigned: for if the cross were not Christ should have disciples enow. Whereof also thou seest what an excellent gift off god true faith is, and impossible to be had with out the spirit of god. For it is above all natural power that a man in time of temptation when god scourgeth him should believe then steadfastly how that god loveth him and careth for him and hath prepared all good things for him, and that that scourging is as earnest that god hath elect and chose him.
