the lord commanded / that he should be put to death / and setteth that down for a general law. How mich more then / shall he which despiseth the word off God / (which is the rule off the whole body off the service off God / and off that true rest From our own works and from sin / whereof that bodily rest / was a figure) be punished with death? And if because the law doth not say in thus many words / that a contemner shall die, it be not lawful to conclude / that he ought to be put to death: what will the answerer say / unto the writer unto the hebrews which 1saith / that he that despiseth the law off Moses under two or three witnesses / was put to death without mercy? For by those words it appeareth / not only that a contemner of the law off Moses / ought by the law to die (which is that which I set down:) but also that the writer upon th•• and such like places as I have here alleged / gathered that which is no where in the law / found in the same words wherein he uttereth that sentence.
the lorde commaunded / that he shoulde be put to deathe / and setteth that downe for a generalle lawe. How myche more then / shall he which despisethe the worde off God / (which is the rule off the whole bodie off the seruice off God / and off that trew reste From our owne workes and from sinne / whereoff that bodelye reste / was a figure) be punished withe deathe? And iff because the lawe doothe not saie in thus many wordes / that a contemner shall die, yt be not lawfull to conclude / that he owght to be put to deathe: what wil the answerer saie / vnto the writer vnto the hebrues which 1saithe / that he that despisethe the lawe off Moses vnder two or three witnesses / was put to deathe withowt mercie? For by those wordes yt appearethe / not onely that a contemner of the lawe off Moses / owght by the lawe to die (which is that which I sett downe:) but also that the writer vpon th•• and suche like places as I haue here alledged / gathered that whiche is no where in the lawe / found in the same wordes wherin he vttereth that sentence.
