pestilent_a tradition_n false_a interpretation_n and_o gloss_n have_v corrupt_v and_o almooste_o clerelye_o stop_v up_o this_o pure_a well_o of_o god_n lyvely_a word_n teach_v that_o this_o love_n

of_o the_o devyll_n for_o who_o so_o ever_o do_v not_o love_v his_o brother_n belong_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o the_o perverse_a nature_n of_o man_n corrupt_a with_o sin_n and_o destitute_a of_o god_n word_n and_o grace_n think_v it_o against_o all_o reason_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v love_v his_o enemy_n and_o have_v many_o persuasion_n which_o induce_v he_o to_o the_o contrary_n against_o all_o which_o reason_n we_o ought_v aswell_o to_o set_v the_o teaching_n as_o the_o lyve_a of_o our_o savioure_n christ_n who_o love_a we_o when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o love_v our_o

which_o we_o have_v do_v against_o almighty_a god_n how_o often_o and_o how_o grevous_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o whereof_o if_o we_o will_v have_v of_o god_n forgyvenes_n there_o be_v none_o other_o
