nothing_o but_o command_v we_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o oure self_o yea_o and_o that_o when_o he_o hurt_v we_o also_o and_o when_o we_o will_v desire_n

from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n we_o can_v not_o put_v so_o great_a confidence_n in_o our_o circumcision_n and_o love_n toward_o god_n and_o obedience_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n we_o can_v not_o trust_v and_o stycke_n to_o these_o thing_n all_o our_o trust_n be_v in_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v obedient_a innocent_a and_o holy_a this_o trust_n shall_v not_o deceive_v we_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a before_o that_o this_o be_v open_v unto_o we_o we_o think_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o fulfil_v the_o law_n or_o be_v damn_v but_o now_o we_o knowledge_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o man_n to_o do_v and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o bear_v that_o burden_n but_o christ_n have_v take_v it_o from_o we_o &_o put_v it_o on_o himself_o and_o begin_v the_o matter_n by_o

which_o be_v in_o my_o member_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v i_o must_v of_o compulsion_n obey_v the_o flesh_n but_o after_o faith_n i_o do_v not_o so_o it_o greve_v i_o and_o i_o abide_v

the_o law_n and_o fulfil_v it_o hereof_o after_o that_o ensue_v a_o new_a zeal_n and_o a_o new_a affection_n law_n even_o love_v towards_o god_n because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o that_o we_o may_v

of_o circumcision_n the_o first_o be_v command_v by_o god_n and_o the_o jew_n have_v obey_v unto_o it_o hitherto_o as_o unto_o a_o law_n and_o yet_o they_o obtain_v not_o salvation_n thereby_o for_o
