No man is made most good upon the sudden, so no man is most wicked suddenly, by little and little we slide into the pitfall, if we watch not, if we resist not the beginning and if we neglect small matters. Our foot must be plucked by and by out of the clay of since, least it fasten more deeply in, we must straight way resist the affections, least they come to have dominion over us. Satan sleepeth not, he never ceaseth, but walketh about like a roaring Lyon, seeking where to get his pray, whom let us resist by faith, and he will fly from us. The lord is strong to deliver us out of the mouth of the Lyon, so that we fly unto him by and by with our whole hart, and cast our selves all wholly upon him with a sound faith, let us take heed of the meat and of the bait which that most subtle enemy layeth for us, lest when we have devoured it, we fall with Judas into the everlasting night.

¶And when he was gone Jesus said, now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him, and God shall glorify him by him self, and shall glorify him by and by. My ⟨p. 55⟩little children, yet a little while I am with you, ye shall seek me, and as I have said to the Jews, whither I go, ye cannot come, so also I say unto you now, I give you a new commandment, that ye love one an other, even as I have loved you, do ye also love one an other, by this shall all men know, that ye are my disciples, if ye have mutual love amongest your selves. Simon Peter said unto him, lord whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, whither I go, thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me hereafter. Peter said unto him, lord why cannot I follow thee now? I will give my life for thee, Jesus aū swered, wilt thou give thy life for me? Verily, verily I say unto thee the cock shall not crow before thou hast denied me thrice.
