Now concerning the goods of this world, it is easy to judge. 1In the first state or degree yt oughtest to be thankful to Christ, and to love, to give and to lend to them that are bought with his precious blood, all that thou art able. For all that thou owest to Christ whose servant thou art to do his will, that must pay them. And that thou doest 2to them, that same thou doest to Christ, and that thou art not ready to do for them, that denyest thou to do for Christ. But and any of thy brethren will with hold or take away by force above that thou mayst spare by the reason of some office that thou hast in the second state, or invade thee violently, and lay more on thy back then thou canst bear: then hold thine hart & hand, that thou neither hate or smite, and speak fair and lovingly, and let neighbours go between. And when thou hast proved all means of love in vain, then complain to the law and the officer that is set to be thy father & defend thee, & to judge between thee and thy brother.

And that thou doest 2to thē, that same thou doest to Christ, and that thou art not ready to do for thē, that denyest thou to do for Christ. But and any of thy brethren will with hold or take away by force aboue that thou mayst spare by the reason of some office that thou hast in the second state, or inuade thee violently, and lay more on thy backe then thou canst beare: thē hold thyne hart & hand, that thou neither hate or smite, and speake fayre and louingly, and let neighbours goe betwene. And when thou hast proued all meanes of loue in vayne, then complaine to the law and the officer that is set to be thy father & defend thee, & to iudge betwene thee and thy brother.
