[The Pentateuch]

Finally God hath two testaments: the old and the new. The old testament is those temporal promises which God made the children of Israel of a good land and that he would defend them, and of wealth and prosperity and of temporal blessings of which thou readest over all the law of Moses, But namely Levitici. xxv•. And Deuteromij .xxviij. and the avoiding of all threatenings and curses off which thou readest likewise every where▪ but specially in the two places above rehearsed, ⟨image 95⟩and the avoiding of all punishment ordained for the transgressors of the law.

Finally God hath two testamentes: the old and the newe. The old testament is those temporall promyses which God made the childrē of Israel of a good londe and that he wolde defende them, and of welth and prosperyte ād of temporall blessynges of whiche thou readest ouer all the lawe of Moses, But namelye Leuitici. xxv•. And Deuteromij .xxviij. ād the avoydynge of all threateninges and curses off which thou readest lykewyse everye where▪ but specyallye in the two places aboue rehersed, ⟨image 95⟩and the avoydinge of all punyshmēt ordened for the transgressers of the lawe.

And the old testament was built all together upon the keeping of the law and ceremonies and was the reward of keeping of them in this life only, and reached no further then this life and this world, as thou readest levi .xviij. a man that doth them shall live there in which text Paul rehearseth Rom .x. and Gala .iij. That is, he that keepeth them shall have this life glorious according to all the promises and blessings of the law, and shall avoid both all temporal punishment of the law, with all the threatenings and cursings also. For nether the law, even of the .x. commandments nor yet the ceremonies justified in the heart before god, or purified unto the life to come. Insomuch that Moses at his death even .xl. year after the law and ceremonies were given complaineth saying: God hath not given you an hart to understand, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day. As who should say, god hath given you ceremonies, but ye know not the use of them, and hath given you a law, but hath not written it in your hearts.
