And thus we have seen what is here meant by our Selves. Next see we what it is to Deny; and then lastly, what to Deny our selves. To Deny; we know what that is, either when we contradict what is affirmed, and affirm the contrary: or else when we refuse to grant ones Request, and neglect or oppose it. The first is Logical, in words; the other Moral, in our actions of commerce one with another. For the Word here, it is [Greek or Hebrew], of [Greek or Hebrew], and that, they say comes of [Greek or Hebrew], to take away, so that it is the same, upon the matter, with [Greek or Hebrew]; and then it seems our Saviours meaning was, first that we should take away our selves, then take up the Cross; or rather take up this, to take away that. In the Latin it is abneget, which signifies to deny one, and denying him, to thrust him from one, so that it is a Verbal and Real denial, both. Howbeit nego, if we look at the Original, is to deny Really too, coming of ne and ago, to do nothing for one: Therefore nego is to deny Morally, [Greek or Hebrew] Logically. This for the Word.

To Deny; we know what that is, either when we contradici what is affirm'd, and affirme the contrary: or else when we refuse to grant ones Request, and neglect or oppose it. The first is Logicall, in words; the other Morall, in our actions of commerce one with another. For the Word here, it is 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, of 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, and that, they say comes of 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, to take away, so that it is the same, upon the matter, with 〈non-Latin alphabet〉; and then it seems our Saviours meaning was, first that we should take away our selves, then take up the Crosse; or rather take up this, to take away that. In the Latin it is abneget, which signifies to deny one, and denying him, to thrust him from one, so that it is a Verball and Reall denyall, both. Howbeit nego, if we look at the Originall, is to deny Really too, comming of ne and ago, to doe nothing for one: Therefore nego is to deny Morally, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Logically. This for the Word.
