The will that Abraham had to s•ay Isaac, and all that he did till he came at y• very point to slay him, were good works, and so had ben the slaying also. And Abraham was sure that he pleased God highly, and as well as in any other work, and had as deeply sinned if he had been disobedient therein, as though he had done any other cruel deed forbidden by God. Yea but shoemaking is not commanded by God. Yes and hath the promise of God annexed thereto. For God hath commaū dead me for the avoiding of sin to do 1my brethren service, and to live thereby, and to chose one estate or other (for if thou wouldest receive only of thy brethren and do nought again thou were a these and an extortioner & a tyrant.) And I chose shoemaking, or receive it at y• obedience of mine elders. Now have I Gods commandment to work therein truly, and his promise annexed thereto, that he will bless mine occupation and make it lucky & fruitful to bring me an honest living. Work I not now at Gods commandment and have his promise that it pleaseth him?
