Thence come out evil thoughts sayeth (Christ) as murder / adultery, fornication, these, false witnessing and blasphemies, These are the things which make a man foul A man then is not foul in the sight of God,1 till his heart be foul. And the filthiness of the heart are thoughts that study to break God's commandments,2 wherefore the pureness of the heart is the consenting and studious purpose to keep the law of God and to mean truly in all thy words and works, and to do them with a true intent.

Thence come out euell thoughtes sayeth (Chryste) as murther / adultrye, fornycacyon, thefe, false wytnessynge and blasphemyes, These are the thynges which make a man fowle A man then is not fowle in the syghte of God,1 tyll his harte be fowle.
