observe_v the_o precept_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o man_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o precept_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o god_n three_o that_o the_o rechabit_v not_o only_o do_v well_o and_o commendable_o in_o observe_v the_o precept_n of_o their_o father_n jonadab_n but_o also_o thereby_o deserve_v a_o peculiar_a blessing_n from_o god_n whereas_o

the_o son_n of_o rechab_n stand_v in_o my_o sight_n all_o day_n but_o to_o the_o jew_n i_o will_v bring_v upon_o you_o affliction_n now_o from_o hence_o let_v our_o adversary_n if_o they_o be_v wise_a infer_v these_o few_o verity_n first_o that_o the_o catholic_n observe_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n do_v no_o less_o well_o and_o laudable_o then_o do_v therechabite_v by_o keep_v the_o

neither_o the_o catholic_n sin_n against_o it_o second_o the_o cause_n why_o catholic_n have_v continue_v and_o do_v continue_v still_o be_v because_o they_o keep_v diligent_o the_o commaundment_n of_o the_o church_n and_o how_o much_o more_o diligent_o one_o do_v observe_v they_o so_o many_o more_o benefit_n he_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o that_o some_o other_o do_v not_o prosper_v because_o of_o the_o one_o side_n they_o contemn_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o which_o they_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o the_o rechabit_v be_v and_o on_o the_o other_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o ten_o commaundment_n in_o the_o which_o they_o be_v like_o the_o jew_n but_o that_o they_o may_v pretend_v some_o kind_n of_o excuse_n for_o this_o their_o damnable_a laziness_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v impossible_a to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o which_o they_o make_v god_n a_o tyrant_n as_o though_o he_o will_v command_v man_n that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o fulfil_v but_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o overthrow_v their_o false_a interpretation_n the_o true_a interpretation_n therefore_o be_v this_o you_o shall_v
