upon_o thy_o heart_n &_o as_o a_o bracelet_n on_o thy_o arm_n here_o it_o require_v a_o sign_n or_o mark_n not_o only_o that_o it_o may_v flow_v above_o in_o the_o heart_n as_o foam_n do_v in_o the_o water_n or_o spittle_n in_o the_o tongue_n which_o be_v cast_v out_o but_o that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v sure_o print_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o sure_o grave_v therein_o that_o no_o man_n may_v abolishe_v it_o no_o other_o wise_n than_o if_o it_o be_v give_v by_o birth_n and_o nature_n which_o can_v be_v extinguish_v by_o no_o power_n such_o be_v the_o heart_n of_o mary_n which_o keep_v these_o word_n as_o sure_a as_o though_o they_o be_v grave_v therein_o and_o all_o that_o do_v receive_v the_o word_n on_o this_o wise_n have_v the_o true_a mark_n of_o christ_n the_o true_a cautery_n and_o sign_n they_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o word_n to_o be_v wreste_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o heart_n whatsoever_o sectary_n or_o scysmatyke_n rise_v against_o it_o you_o or_o the_o dyvell_n himself_o as_o they_o have_v once_o beleve_v and_o know_v of_o this_o child_n so_o they_o keep_v it_o constant_o word_n but_o we_o must_v mark_v this_o also_o if_o we_o will_v &_o desire_v that_o god_n word_n shall_v enter_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o to_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v also_o take_v more_o heed_n let_v we_o learn_v of_o this_o little_a example_n how_o oftentimes_o one_o thing_n be_v teach_v and_o repete_v to_o child_n until_o they_o bear_v it_o away_o and_o think_v we_o that_o such_o great_a matter_n be_v get_v with_o so_o little_a care_n by_o and_o by_o assoon_o as_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v we_o go_v unto_o other_o business_n we_o care_v not_o for_o that_o that_o we_o hear_v we_o use_v deaffull_v overthwartnes_n in_o all_o thing_n we_o ought_v first_o to_o seek_v the_o kyngdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o have_v diligent_a study_n thereon_o but_o we_o think_v that_o that_o may_v be_v do_v last_o 6._o we_o do_v all_o our_o own_o business_n first_o as_o concern_v our_o worldly_a wealth_n and_o pleasure_n etc._n etc._n if_o this_o be_v not_o we_o will_v set_v by_o god_n word_n as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v our_o business_n but_o man_n can_v not_o be_v persuade_v so_o to_o do_v wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o there_o be_v such_o great_a infirmity_n that_o we_o quick_o forget_v altogether_o as_o it_o appear_v in_o temptation_n yet_o christian_a man_n know_v their_o duty_n they_o count_v nothing_o better_a or_o more_o precious_a than_o god_n word_n wherefore_o their_o mind_n dwell_v only_o in_o it_o and_o although_o they_o have_v much_o worldly_a business_n to_o do_v yet_o their_o mind_n incline_v to_o this_o wherein_o lie_v matter_n of_o great_a weight_n and_o this_o far_o have_v we_o speak_v of_o the_o example_n of_o mary_n which_o the_o evangelist_n think_v worthy_a to_o be_v rehearse_v because_o it_o be_v of_o no_o small_a commodity_n and_o profit_n it_o follow_v the_o shepherd_n return_v glorify_v and_o praise_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o seen_v as_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o do_v after_o that_o the_o shepherd_n have_v spread_v abroad_o the_o fame_n as_o touch_v this_o child_n jesv_n so_o that_o it_o can_v now_o be_v unknowen_a to_o no_o man_n in_o all_o the_o town_n of_o bethleem_n they_o return_n to_o their_o flock_n they_o glorify_v and_o praise_v god._n for_o the_o angel_n give_v they_o this_o commandment_n in_o their_o verse_n this_o doctrine_n therefore_o beside_o all_o other_o be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o most_o worthy_a to_o be_v remember_v that_o the_o shepherd_n after_o they_o have_v get_v the_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n they_o go_v not_o to_o the_o desert_n they_o take_v not_o up_o their_o lodging_n in_o a_o monastery_n or_o abbey_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o mounkes_n and_o nonnes_n but_o they_o see_v to_o their_o vocation_n and_o bestow_v themselves_o to_o serve_v and_o help_v their_o neighbour_n for_o they_o that_o leave_v this_o kind_n of_o lyvinge_v in_o this_o body_n and_o take_v on_o they_o to_o live_v after_o a_o other_o sort_n be_v never_o make_v such_o by_o faith_n as_o the_o mounkes_n be_v of_o this_o opinion_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v except_o in_o the_o end_n they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v unlyke_o other_o man_n for_o except_o they_o wear_v other_o apparel_n and_o do_v eat_v after_o a_o other_o sort_n and_o also_o watch_v etc._n etc._n they_o think_v then selue_o also_o to_o be_v profane_a &_o unreligious_a as_o other_o wherefore_o they_o invent_v out_o a_o unused_a trade_n of_o live_v peculiar_a to_o themselves_o for_o their_o apparel_n meat_n time_n &_o place_n this_o do_v they_o count_v christianity_n name_v it_o religion_n and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v religion_n but_o yet_o of_o the_o devil_n for_o he_o also_o have_v his_o religious_a but_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o change_v external_a thing_n thing_n and_o to_o subvert_v his_o creature_n and_o make_v new_a wherefore_o the_o body_n may_v be_v apparel_v feed_v and_o constrain_v to_o labour_n as_o need_v and_o necessity_n require_v for_o the_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v use_v by_o god_n ordinance_n without_o any_o change_v he_o come_v not_o to_o change_v any_o thing_n thereof_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o man_n free_a will_n to_o change_v apparel_n and_o meat_n when_o the_o matter_n require_v it_o and_o as_o for_o this_o change_n it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o beast_n also_o this_o change_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o no_o great_a estimation_n neither_o be_v it_o be_v necessary_a for_o christ_n to_o set_v it_o forth_o how_o much_o more_o be_v it_o against_o reason_n that_o such_o mutation_n and_o change_n shall_v be_v esteem_v for_o god_n service_n and_o for_o a_o religious_a observation_n but_o herein_o consist_v the_o true_a mutation_n for_o the_o which_o come_v christ_n heart_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v change_v inward_o in_o their_o heart_n before_o this_o open_v of_o the_o gospel_n at_o our_o time_n i_o think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n of_o i_o and_o that_o the_o governance_n of_o my_o salvation_n consist_v in_o myself_o i_o know_v nothing_o hereof_o how_o sin_n or_o death_n ought_v to_o be_v order_v and_o therefore_o many_o fell_a unto_o mounkerie_n but_o there_o be_v not_o so_o great_a virtue_n in_o a_o cowl_n apparel_n eat_v and_o fast_a etc._n etc._n death_n be_v not_o slay_v hereby_o sin_v be_v not_o put_v aside_o by_o this_o for_o both_o they_o remain_v under_o a_o cowl_n as_o well_o as_o under_o other_o garment_n but_o this_o thing_n be_v here_o go_v about_o that_o the_o heart_n itself_o may_v purchase_v a_o new_a light_n and_o a_o new_a token_n of_o remembrance_n as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sure_o persuade_v that_o god_n have_v respect_n unto_o it_o and_o regard_v it_o for_o he_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o flesh_n that_o i_o by_o he_o may_v overcome_v death_n and_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n this_o be_v the_o true_a change_n for_o before_o my_o heart_n know_v not_o but_o now_o it_o know_v and_o this_o change_n be_v now_o bring_v by_o christ_n that_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n may_v be_v renew_v and_o that_o a_o other_o understanding_n will_n and_o affection_n may_v rise_v therein_o for_o where_o as_o before_o there_o be_v great_a love_n of_o money_n and_o riches_n now_o after_o that_o christ_n be_v know_v not_o these_o thing_n only_o but_o also_o body_n and_o life_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v put_v in_o peril_n than_o that_o christ_n shall_v be_v forsake_v and_o his_o word_n before_o thou_o will_v not_o buy_v christ_n favour_n for_o a_o half_a penny_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o high_a of_o price_n that_o thou_o will_v set_v more_o by_o than_o christ._n before_o thou_o think_v that_o thy_o salvation_n consist_v in_o a_o friar_n wede_n now_o thou_o hate_v it_o worse_a than_o a_o mad_a dog_n or_o a_o adder_n before_o we_o count_v it_o a_o great_a sin_n if_o we_o have_v eat_v flesh_n on_o frydaye_n now_o do_v we_o abhor_v and_o execrate_v their_o wickedness_n which_o make_v it_o deadly_a sin_n to_o do_v

even_o as_o christ_n say_v the_o hireling_n death_n which_o be_v not_o the_o shepherd_n &_o to_o who_o the_o sheep_n do_v not_o belong_v see_v the_o wolf_n come_v &_o forsake_v the_o sheep_n &_o

that_o in_o this_o peril_n desire_v to_o be_v without_o ieoperdy_o &_o not_o to_o be_v rend_v &_o tear_v of_o the_o wolf_n must_v diligent_o take_v heed_n that_o he_o put_v not_o his_o confidence_n

therefore_o when_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n we_o must_v resort_v and_o flee_v unto_o he_o alone_o and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v steadfast_o believe_v we_o ourselves_o can_v do_v

the_o brethren_n for_o this_o we_o right_a well_o know_v how_o great_a the_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o special_o the_o pope_n labour_v with_o all_o main_n to_o oppress_v the_o word_n yea_o and_o so_o many_o as_o be_v the_o true_a pastor_n &_o preacher_n thereof_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o faithful_a and_o good_a

not_o this_o voice_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n not_o of_o a_o shepherd_n but_o of_o a_o wolf_n sheep_n for_o thus_o be_v the_o report_n of_o this_o beast_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o a_o sheep_n it_o

also_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n shall_v most_o diligent_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o shephearde_n that_o they_o be_v not_o deceive_v and_o this_o be_v his_o mean_a that_o where_o

never_o so_o clear_a pleasant_a and_o sweet_a therefore_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v that_o we_o geve_v diligent_a attendance_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o that_o alone_a and_o none_o other_o that_o through_o it_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o set_v ourselves_o against_o all_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o he_o crafty_o goth_v about_o to_o

have_v not_o his_o purpose_n by_o false_a doctrine_n then_o doothe_v he_o inward_o imagine_v deceit_n through_o pestilent_a and_o poisonful_a thought_n here_o must_v thou_o follow_v the_o sheep_n and_o say_v i_o care_v not_o for_o this_o voice_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o wolf_n and_o not_o of_o a_o shepherd_n the_o voice_n of_o my_o shephearde_n be_v i_o be_o the_o good_a shepherd_n
