IF ye understand thes things / happy are ye if ye do them Joan. xiij. A christian mans heart is with the will of God / with the law & commandments of God / and hungereth and thirsteth after strength to fulfil them and morneth day and night desiring god according to his promises / for to give him power to fulfil the will of God with love and lust: then restifyeth his dead that he is blessed and that the sprite which blesseth us in Christ is in him and ministereth such strength. The outward dead testifieth what is with in us / as thou readest Joan. v. The deeds which I do / testify of me saith Christ. And Joan. xiij. hereby shall all men know that ye are my disciples / if ye love one an other. And Joan. xiiij. he that hath my commandments & keepeth them the same it is that loveth me. And again / he that loveth me keepeth my commandments / and he that loveth me not keepeth not my commandments / ⟨p. lij⟩the outward dead testifying of the inward heart. And John .xv. If ye shall keep my commandments ye shall continue in my love / as I keep my fathers commandment and continue in his love. That is / as ye see y• love that I have to my father in that I keep his commandments / so shall ye see the love that ye have to me in that ye keep my commandments.

The outewarde deade testifieth what is with in vs / as thou readest Joan. v. The deades whych I do / testifie of me sayth Christ. And Joā. xiij. hereby shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples / if ye love one an other. And Joā. xiiij. he that hath my cōmaundementes & keapeth thē the same it is that loveth me. And agayne / he that loveth me kepeth my cōmaundementes / ād he that loveth me not kepeth not my commaundementes /
