dead_a s_o be_v there_o any_o cause_n that_o excuse_v we_o from_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n m_o three_o thing_n may_v excuse_v us._n the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v not_o the_o mean_n to_o do_v they_o and_o so_o that_o good_a lazarus_n the_o poor_a beggar_n of_o who_o it_o be_v read_v in_o the_o gospel_n do_v no_o corporal_a work_n of_o mercy_n because_o himself_o have_v need_v in_o a_o manner_n of_o all_o those_o work_n and_o so_o be_v crow_v for_o his_o patience_n and_o this_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n that_o the_o rich_a may_v save_v themselves_o by_o show_v mercy_n &_o the_o poor_a by_o the_o way_n of_o patience_n and_o so_o he_o that_o have_v not_o knowledge_n or_o prudence_n for_o himself_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o teach_v or_o give_v counsel_n to_o other_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v when_o a_o man_n serve_v god_n in_o a_o high_a sort_n than_o the_o active_a life_n be_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o state_n have_v no_o occasion_n to_o do_v many_o work_n of_o charity_n so_o the_o holy_a eremite_n that_o remain_v enclose_v in_o solitary_a place_n or_o in_o their_o cell_n to_o contemplate_v heavenly_a thing_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o leave_v that_o holy_a exercise_n and_o go_v to_o seek_v those_o to_o who_o they_o may_v do_v work_n of_o mercy_n the_o three_o cause_n be_v when_o a_o man_n do_v not_o find_v any_o that_o have_v notorious_a need_n of_o his_o mercy_n for_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o succour_v any_o but_o those_o who_o can_v not_o help_v themselves_o or_o have_v not_o other_o that_o will_v and_o can_v help_v they_o true_a it_o

to_o i_o that_o all_o man_n may_v work_v the_o last_o work_n of_o mercy_n that_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o our_o neighbour_n m_o so_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a eremite_n do_v also_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n for_o that_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o give_v his_o grace_n to_o all_o those_o that_o need_v it_o chap._n xvi_o of_o vice_n and_o sin_n in_o general_n s_o it_o be_v now_o time_n that_o you_o teach_v i_o what_o vice_n and_o sin_n be_v to_o fly_v from_o it_o like_v as_o you_o have_v instruct_v i_o in_o virtue_n and_o good_a work_n to_o obtain_v they_o m_o

be_v a_o commit_v not_o to_o hear_v mass_n be_v a_o omission_n second_o be_v require_v that_o this_o commit_n or_o omit_v be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o well-working_a like_v as_o the_o art_n of_o a_o maison_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o make_v a_o wall_n well_o and_o therefore_o as_o a_o maison_n be_v not_o a_o good_a maison_fw-fr and_o

and_o that_o he_o promise_v not_o with_o a_o oath_n any_o thing_n but_o that_o he_o will_v undoubted_o perform_v whereupon_o they_o be_v perjure_a and_o sin_n grievous_o that_o affirm_v with_o a_o

do_v it_o s_o what_o mean_v to_o swear_v with_o judgement_n m_o the_o meaning_n be_v to_o swear_v with_o advisement_n &_o mature_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a to_o call_v god_n to_o

this_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v make_v to_o god_n to_o who_o vow_n do_v proper_o belong_v and_o when_o you_o hear_v that_o a_o vow_n be_v make_v to_o our_o lady_n or_o to_o other_o saint_n you_o must_v understande_v that_o the_o same_o be_v principal_o make_v to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o lady_n or_o other_o saint_n in_o who_o god_n remain_v in_o a_o more_o particular_a manner_n and_o more_o excellent_o then_o in_o other_o creature_n so_o that_o a_o vow_v make_v to_o a_o saint_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o promise_n make_v unto_o god_n to_o honour_v the_o memory_n of_o such_o a_o saint_n with_o some_o present_n that_o be_v to_o honour_n god_n himself_o in_o his_o saint_n three_o you_o have_v to_o know_v that_o a_o vow_n can_v be_v make_v but_o of_o a_o good_a thing_n and_o grateful_a to_o god_n as_o holy_a virginity_n voluntary_a poverty_n and_o the_o like_a thing_n wherefore_o he_o that_o shall_v vow_v to_o commit_v any_o sin_n or_o any_o act_n not_o pertain_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n yea_o or_o any_o good_a thing_n which_o shall_v hinder_v a_o great_a good_a shall_v not_o make_v promise_n of_o a_o thing_n grateful_a to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o do_v he_o honour_n but_o dishonour_n and_o he_o shall_v sin_v against_o this_o second_o commandment_n as_o he_o also_o sin_v greevious_o against_o the_o same_o commandment_n that_o make_v a_o vow_n and_o fulfil_v it_o not_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o can_v for_o god_n command_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o whosoever_o make_v a_o vow_n do_v not_o only_o remember_v to_o fulfil_v it_o but_o also_o that_o he_o slack_v not_o to_o do_v it_o s_o declare_v to_o i_o the_o last_o part_n which_o treat_v of_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o of_o

holy_a name_n and_o first_o forasmuch_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o praise_n there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o be_v manifest_a that_o all_o good_a thing_n come_v unto_o we_o from_o god_n and_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v full_a of_o wisdom_n of_o justice_n and_o of_o mercy_n it_o be_v reason_n that_o in_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v praise_v and_o bless_a but_o touch_v blaspheamie_a it_o

which_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o power_n wisdom_n justice_n or_o other_o excellence_n as_o to_o say_v that_o god_n can_v not_o do_v or_o see_v some_o thing_n or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o just_a the_o three_o when_o that_o be_v tribute_v to_o any_o creature_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n as_o if_o one_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v or_o can_v work_v true_a miracle_n the_o four_o when_o one_o curse_v god_n or_o our_o lady_n or_o other_o saint_n the_o five_o when_o some_o member_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o saint_n be_v name_v to_o do_v some_o
