[The Pentateuch]

Thou wilt haply say, They tell a man the truth. What then? God will that we care not to know what shall come. He will have us care only to keep his commandments and to commit all chances unto him He hath promised to care for us and to keep us from all evil. All things are in his hand, he can remedy all things and will for his truths sake, if we pray him. In his promises only will he have us trust and there rest and to seek ⟨image 93⟩no farther.

Thou wilt happlye saye, They tell a man the truthe. What then? God will that we care not to knowe what shall come. He will haue vs care only to kepe his commaundmētes and to commytre all chaunses vnto him He hath promysed to care for vs and to kepe vs from all evell. All thinges are in his hande, he can remedye all thinges and wil for his truthes sake, yf we praye him. In his promyses only will he haue vs trust ād there rest ād to seke ⟨image 93⟩no farther.

How also doth he provoke them to love, ever rehearsing the benefits of God done to them already and the godly promises that were to come? And how goodly laws of love giveth he? to help one another: and that a man should not hate his neighbour in his heart, but love him as him self, Levitici .xix. And what a charge giveth he in every place over the poor and needy: over the stranger friendless and widow? And when he desireth to show mercy, he rehearseth with all, the benefits of God done to them at their need, that they might sea cause at the lest way in God to show mercy of very love unto their neighbours at the ir need.

How also doth he prouoke them to loue, euer rehersynge the benefites of God done to them allready and the godly promyses that were to come? And how goodly lawes of loue geveth he? to helpe one another: and that a man shuld not hate his neyghboure in his harte, but loue him as him filf, Leuitici .xix. And what a charge geueth he in euery place over the poore and neadye: over the straunger frendlesse ād wedowe? And when he desyreth to shew mercye, he reherseth with all, the benefites of God done to them at their neade, that they myght sea cause at the lest waye in God to shew mercye of very loue vnto their neyghboures at the ir neade.
