Secondarily all good works must be done free with a single eye with out respect of any thing / and that no profit be sought thereby.
SEcōdarily all good workes must be done free with a syngle eye with out respecte of any thinge / and that no profet be sought thereby.
That commandeth Christ / where he saith Mar. x free have ye received / free give again. For look as Christ with all his works did not deserve heaven / for that was his all ready / but did us service therewith / and nether looked nor sought his own profit• / but our profit / & the honour of God y• father only. Even so we with all our works may not self our own profit / ⟨p. xv⟩nether in this world nor in heaven / but must and ought freely to work / to honour God with all / and without all manner respect / self our neighbours profit and do him service. That meaneth Paul Philip. ij. saying. Be minded as Christ was which being in the shape of God / equal unto God and even very God / laid that a part / that is to say / hid it. And to•e on him the form and fashion of a servant. That is / as concerning him self he had enough / that he was full / & had all plenteousness of the Godhead / and in all his works sought our profit and became our servant.
That commaundeth Christ / where he sayth Mar. x fre have ye receaved / fre geve agayne. For loke as Christ with all his workes did not deserve heven / for that was his all redye / but dyd vs servyce therwith / ād nether loked nor soughte his awne profit• / but our profit / & the honoure of God y• father only. Evē so we with all oure workes maye not sefe oure awne profit / ⟨p. xv⟩nether in this world nor in hevē / but must ād ought frely to worke / to honour God wyth all / and without all maner respecte / sefe oure neyghbours profit and do hym service. That meaneth Paul Philip. ij. sayng. Bemynded as Christ was which beinge in the shappe of God / equall vnto God and even very God / laid that a part / that is to saie / hyd it. And toe on him the forme ād faseyon of a servaunt. That is / as cōcerninge hym selfe he had ynough / that he was full / & had all plentuousnes of the Godhed / ād in all his workes sought our profit and became our servant.
