of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o recite_v short_o the_o sum_n of_o god_n commandment_n do_v say_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o commandment_n be_v hear_v oh_o israel_n the_o lord_n

only_o to_o be_v just_a but_o also_o by_o the_o judge_n pronunciation_n to_o have_v the_o cause_n make_v manifest_a to_o all_o man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v just_a and_o god_n do_v deal_v with_o we_o

be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o man_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n honest_a word_n and_o

that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o shall_v be_v condemn_v to_o abraham_n after_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n it_o be_v say_v because_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o thing_n and_o have_v not_o spare_v thine_o only_o beget_v son_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o multiply_v thou_o exceed_o etc_n etc_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n make_v that_o promise_n to_o abraham_n before_o isaac_n be_v bear_v
