As thou readest therefore think that 1every syllable pertaineth to thine own self, & suck out the pith of the Scripture, and arm thy self against all assaults. First note with strong faith the power of God, in creating all of nought. Then mark the grievous fall of Adam, and of us all in him, through the light regarding of the commandment of God. In the iiij. Chapter God turneth him unto Abel, and then to his offering, but not to Cain and his offering. Where thou seest that though the deeds of the evil, appear outwardly as glorious, as the deeds of yt good: yet in the sight of God, which looketh on the hart, the deed is good because of the man, and not the man good because of his deed. In the vj. God sendeth Noah to preach to the wicked, and giveth them space to repent: they wax hard hearted, God bringeth them to nought. And yet saveth Noah: even by yt same water by which he destroyed them. Mark also what followed the pride of the building of the Tower of Babel.
As thou readest therfore thinke that 1euery sillable pertayneth to thine own selfe, & sucke out the pithe of the Scripture, and arme thy selfe agaynst all assaultes. First note with strong fayth the power of God, in creatyng all of nought. Then marke the greuous fall of Adam, and of vs all in him, thorow the light regardyng of the cōmaundemēt of God. In the iiij. Chapter God turneth hym vnto Abell, and thē to his offeryng, but not to Cain and hys offeryng. Where thou seest that thoughe the dedes of the euil, appeare outwardly as glorious, as the dedes of yt good: yet in the sight of God, which looketh on the hart, the deede is good because of the man, and not the man good because of his deede. In the vj. God sendeth Noe to preach to the wicked, and geueth them space to repent: they wax hard harted, God bringeth them to nought. And yet saueth Noe: euen by yt same water by whiche he destroyed them. Marke also what folowed the pride of the buildyng of the Tower of Babell.
