Seeing then we have all these promises, let every of us acquaint himself with the same both morning and evening, and let it be our wisdom. And besides, we have his commandments whereunto we must cleave, & not be be smeared with superstition, and let every man forsake him self, and live to together in love and charity one with another, soberly, chastely, humbly, and honestly: and be pure & clean from all the filthiness of the flesh: lo here a general rule.
Séeing then we haue all these promises, let euery of vs acquainte himselfe with the same both morning and eueninge, and let it bee our wisdome. And besides, wée haue his commaundementes whereunto wée must cleaue, & not bée bée smeared with superstition, and let euerye man forsake him selfe, and liue to together in loue and charitie one with another, soberly, chastly, humblye, and honestly: and be pure & cleane from all the filthinesse of the flesh: loe héere a generall rule.
Moreover, in them every man is taught his particular lesson. For first the Husband is taught to understand what love he ought to bear unto his wife, and the wife her duty towards her Husband: and either of them are advertised what instruction they ought to give unto their Children.
Moreouer, in them euery man is taught his perticular lesson. For firste the Husbande is taught to vnderstande what loue hee ought to beare vnto his wife, and the wife her dutie towardes her Husband: and either of them are aduertised what instruction they ought to giue vnto their Children.
Moreover, the Magistrates are taught their lessons, and the Minister of the word theirs. To be short, this is a perfect doctrine accomplished in all points, where every man is so sufficiently instructed, that no man can be ignorant of his charge and duty. And thus we see what we have to note: And therefore, if every man apply himself hereunto as he ought, without doubt he shall have no leisure to roil over the fields.
