This is the right freedom & liberty from sin and from the law where of he writeth unto the end of this Chapter / that it is a freedom to do good only with lust / & to live well with out compulsion of the law. Wherefore this freedom is a spiritual freedom / which destroyeth not the law / but ministereth that which the law requireth / and where with the law is fulfilled that is to understood / lust & love / where with the law is stilled & accuseth us no more / compelleth us no more▪ nether hath ought to ⟨image 234⟩crave of us any more. Even as though thou were in debt to an other man / & were not able to pay / two manner ways mightest thou be loosed. One way / if he would require nothing of thee / and break thine obligation. An other way / if so me other good man would pay for the / & give thee as much as thou mightest satisfy thine obligation with all. Of this wise hath Christ made us free from the law: & therefore is this no will▪ de flesshely liberte / that should do nought / but that doeth all things / & is free from the craving and debt of the law.
This is the right fredome & liberte frō synne and from the lawe where of hewryteth vnto the ende of this Chapter / that it is a fredome to doo good only with luste / & to lyue well with oute compulciō of the lawe. Wherfore this fredome is a spirituall fredome / which destroyeth not the lawe / but ministreth that which the lawe requyreth / and where with the lawe is fulfilled that is to vnderstond / luste & loue / where with the lawe is stilled & accuseth vs no moare / compelleth vs no moare▪ nether hath oughte to ⟨image 234⟩craue of vs any moare. Euen as though thou were in dette to an other mā / & were not able to paye / two maner wayes mightest thou be losed. One waye / if he wold requyre nothinge of the / and breke thyne obligaciō. An other waye / yf so me other good man wolde paye for the / & geue the as moche as thou mightest satisfie thine obligaciō with all. Of this wyse hath Christe made vs frefrō the lawe: & therfore is this no wil▪ de flesshely liberte / that shulde doo nought / but that doeth all thinges / & is fre from the crauinge and dette of the lawe.
