none effecte. For even as they are fayned and commaunded 

 withouten the worde of God. even so oute of theyni cometh 

 nether goodnes nor yett proffitl to mannis neghbour. But 

 contrary wyse cause grete cost and expenses, wlierwith many 

 a povre person greatly myglit have bene relyved and conforted. 

 So. Doutles it is even so. No man can denye it. Go t'orthe and 

 shortly declare the resydue. Fa. It is not withoute a cause 

 that Jesus is called a redemer. For he saveth his people Mat i. 

 froin their synnes. Christ is asmoche to saye as Anoy|n]ted. 

 He is of his father anoynted and sanctified above all wother. 

 And in hym dwelleth the fulnes of the godhed coi. i.j. 

 corporally. Wherfor I never thynke of the manhod of Christ, 

 seperatynge it from the diuinite which sent hym. And therfore 

 I adde sayinge, Oure lorde. For he is also eure lorde as 

 concernynge his humanyte. For God hath geven hym mat. ui. 

 power over all that is in heven and on erth. So. What avayleth 

 it me that Christ is oure lorde. Fat. Hawe, marvellus moche 

 no doute, once that we here maye lyve the surlyer, and also 

 perfectlyer knowe and vnderstonde what chri- [Fol. 10".] sten 

 liberte is. For seynge that Christ is oure lorde, it foloweth that 

 we are lordes over all thynges, and that nothynge can hurte vs. 

 So. I wolde faine heare huwe therby thou can st declare jo. iv. 

 that. Fa. Surly it is nothynge diffuse. Christ dwelleth in eo. xij. 

 vs and we in hym as sayth saynet' Ihon. Where i.cor. xij. 

 vnto agreeth the seconde chapter of the epistle to the ephesians 

 sayinge that we are all members of one body wherof the heed'^ 

 is Christ. The whych is lorde over all thynges. and maketh 

 vs also with him lordes over all, forasmoche as we are with 

 hym oure heed^ of one nature. And nowe wheare as is no 

 soche liberte, nether is Christ theare. And wheare as he is 

 absent we cannot but be in bondage vnto the lawe. wherfore 

 Paul warneth that we becom no more the servauntes of men- 

 and that we soffre not oure selves to be deceved through the 

 dementes of the worlde. So. Maye eny lawe, or temporall 

 constitucion bynde a Christen man? Fa. No soch as ij. corint. 

 make difference betwene dayes, forbid meates, and vüj. u. x. 

 defende wedlocke etc. For soche are divlysshe doctryus. ko. xüIj.
