of_o peace_n and_o do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n like_o scatter_a sheep_n run_v too_o much_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n into_o the_o way_n of_o preciseness_n 4_o

of_o other_o country_n but_o even_o of_o of_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n jue_v have_v voluntary_o relinquish_v their_o crown_n their_o sceptre_n and_o all_o their_o royal_a robe_n and_o cloister_v up_o themselves_o in_o monastery_n that_o they_o may_v live_v as_o they_o think_v in_o a_o more_o perfect_a state_n and_o certes_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o such_o as_o can_v well_o away_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o life_n have_v many_o opportunity_n to_o serve_v god_n which_o we_o have_v not_o ep_v and_o have_v not_o many_o imperfection_n of_o the_o world_n which_o we_o have_v vitaeso_fw-la yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o only_a perfect_a state_n which_o tend_v towards_o the_o mark._n but_o as_o diverse_a have_v live_v very_o bad_o in_o monastery_n so_o many_o have_v live_v very_o bless_o without_o they_o yea_o there_o be_v no_o call_n so_o mean_v but_o if_o a_o man_n follow_v christ_n in_o it_o he_o may_v well_o enough_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o give_v he_o become_v a_o perfect_a man_n let_v joseph_n be_v a_o example_n for_o servant_n jacob_n for_o shepherd_n amos_n for_o cottager_n mathewe_n for_o farmer_n peter_n for_o fisher_n paul_n for_o tentmaker_n &_o so_o forth_o in_o the_o rest_n 593._o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o right_a mark_n always_o before_o his_o eye_n he_o may_v live_v as_o

of_o we_o say_v unto_o he_o with_o holy_a job_n my_o foot_n have_v follow_v thy_o step_n thy_o way_n have_v i_o keep_v and_o have_v not_o decline_v 11._o this_o we_o shall_v do_v if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o king_n high_a way_n of_o charity_n 139_o and_o keep_v the_o royal_a law_n of_o love_n 8._o for_o we_o that_o be_v christian_n go_v towards_o the_o mark_n not_o by_o live_v but_o by_o love_v not_o with_o our_o foot_n but_o with_o our_o affection_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n which_o make_v a_o good_a or_o a_o bad_a life_n but_o a_o good_a or_o a_o bad_a love_n 52._o therefore_o he_o that_o will_v be_v perfect_a must_v be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n and_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o evangelicall_a perfection_n he_o must_v love_v not_o only_o his_o friend_n in_o god_n but_o also_o his_o foe_n for_o god_n sententiarum_fw-la because_o as_o that_o be_v the_o hot_a fire_n which_o warm_v they_o that_o be_v further_a off_o so_o that_o be_v the_o most_o fervent_a &_o

dark_o not_o face_n to_o face_n 12._o so_o that_o the_o most_o perfect_a perfection_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o in_o this_o life_n be_v a_o humble_a acknowledge_v of_o that_o imperfection_n which_o we_o have_v fine_a and_o a_o earnest_n labour_v for_o that_o perfection_n which_o we_o have_v not_o fine_a we_o live_v here_o in_o that_o we_o hope_v for_o life_n ●03_n and_o we_o be_v perfect_a
