If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture which saith. Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thy self / ye do well. But if ye regard one person more then another / ye commit sin / and are rebuked of the law as transgressors. Whosoever shall keep the whole law / and yet fail in one point / he is guilty in all. For he that said. Thou shalt not commit adultery / said also: thou shalt not kill. Though thou do none adultery / yet if thou kill / thou art a transgressor of the law. So speak ye / and so do as they that shall be judged by the *law of liberty. For there shall be judgement merciless to him that showeth no mercy / and mercy rejoiceth against judgement: ✚
Yf ye fulfill the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture which sayth. Thou shallt love thyne neghbour as thy silfe / ye do well. But yf ye regarde one person more then another / ye commit synne / and are rebuked of the lawe as transgressours. Whosoever shall kepe the whole lawe / and yet fayle in one poynt / he is gyltie in all. For he that sayd. Thou shallt not commit adulterie / sayed also: thou shallt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterie / yet yf thou kill / thou arte a transgresser of the lawe. So speake ye / and so do as they that shalbe iudged by the *lawe of libertie. For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy / and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement: ✚
- *To work offeare & compulsion is bond dage: but to love is liberty & the fulfilling of y• law before god / & maketh a man merciful to work of his own accord And to the merciful hath God bound him self to show mercy And contrary unto the unmerciful he threateneth judgement with out mercy. And mercy rejoiceth and trimpheth over judgement. For wheremercye is / there hath damnation no place by godes promise. God hath promised all mercy to the merciful only. Now if any that is not merciful believeth to have mercy of god he deceiveth himself: because he hath no Godes word for him For godes promise pertaineth to y• merciful only: & true faith therefore is known by hirdedes.
