And as thou callest him: which is not renewed with the sprite & borne again in Christ / flesh / and all his deeds / even the very motions of his heart and mind / his learning / doctrine and contemplation of high things / his preaching teaching and study in the scripture / building of churches / founding of abbeys / giving of alms / mass / matence and whatsoever he doeth / though it seem spiritual and after the laws of god. So contrary wise call him spiritual which¹ is renewed in Christ / and all his deeds which spring of faith / seem they never so gross as the washing of the disciples feet / done by Christ and Peters fishing after the resurrection / yea and all the deeds of matrimony are pure spiritual / if they proceed of faith / & what soever is done with in the laws of God / though it be wrought by the body / as the very wiping of shows and such like / how soever gross they appear outward. Without such understanding of these words canst thou never understand this epistle of Paul / nether any other place in the holy scripture. Take heed therefore / for whosoever understandeth these words other wise / the same understandeth not Paul / what soever he be. Now will we prepare our selves unto the pistle.

And as thou callese him: which is not renewed with the sprite & borne agayne in Christ / flesshe / and all his dedes / euen the very mocyōs of his hert and mynd / his lerninge / doctrine and contemplacyon of hye thinges / his preachinge teachinge and study in the scripture / bildinge of churches / foundinge of abbeyes / geuinge of almes / masse / matence and whatsoeuer he doeth / though it seme spirituall and aftyr the lawes of god. So cōtrary wyse call him spirituall which¹ is renewed in Christe / and all his dedes which springe of fayth / seme they neuer so grose as the wasshinge of the disciples fete / done by Christ and Peters fisshinge aftyr the resurreccion / ye and all the dedes of matrimony are pure spirituall / yf they procede of faith / & what soeuer is done with in the lawes of God / though it be wrought by the body / as the very wipinge of shewes and soche lyke / how soeuer grose they appere outewarde. Withoute suche vnderstōdinge of these wordes cāst thou neuer vnderstond this epistell of Paull / nether any other place in the holy scripture. Take hede therfore / for whosoeuer vnderstondeth these wordes other wyse / the same vnderstondeth not Paul / what soeuer he be. Now will we prepare oure selues vnto the pistle.
