Let us therefore that have now at this time our eyes opened again through the tender mercy of God / keep a mean. Let us so put our trust in the mercy of god through christ / that we know it our duty to keep the law of God & to love our neighbours for their fathers sake which created them & for their lords sake which redeemed them & bought them so dearly with his blood Let us walk in the fear of God / & have our eyes open unto both parts of God's covenants / certified that none shall be partaker of the mercy / save he that will fight against the flesh / to keep the law. And let us arm our selves with this remembrance / that as christs works ⟨image 7⟩justify from sin & set us in the favour of god / so our own deeds through working of the spirit of God / help us to continue in the favour & the grace / into which christ hath brought us / & that we can no longer continue in favour & grace than our heart are to keep the law.
Let vs therfore yt have now at this tyme oure eyes opened agayne thorow ye tēder mercie of God / kepe a meane. Let vs so put oure trust in ye mercy of god thorow christ / yt we knowe it oure dutie to kepe ye lawe of God & to loue oure neyboures for their fathers sake which created thē & for their lordes sake which redemed thē & bought thē so derely wt his bloude Let vs walke in ye feare of God / & have oure eyes opē vnto both partes of Godes couenaū tes / certified that none shalbe partaker of the mercie / saue he that will fyght agynst ye flesshe / to kepe ye lawe. And let vs arme oure selues wt this remēbraūce / that as christes workes ⟨image 7⟩iustifie frō synne & set vs in ye fauoure of god / so oure awne dedes thorow workynge of ye spirite of God / helpe vs to cōtynew in ye fauoure & ye grace / into which christ hath brought vs / & that we cā no lenger cōtynew in fauoure & grace thē oure herte are to kepe the lawe.
Furthermore concerning the law of God / this is a general conclusion / that the whole lawe• whether they be ceremonies / sacrifices / yea or sacraments ether / or precepts of equity between man & man throughout all degrees of the world / all were given for our profit & necessity only / & not for any need that God hath of our keeping them / or that his joy is increased thereby or that the deed / for the deed it self doth please him That is all that God requireth of us when we be at one with him & do put our trust in him &
