For so moch the as ye are children, God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes, which cryeth: Abba, deare father.

Brethre I beseke you, be ye as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurte me at all.

For ye knowe how that in weaknes after ye flesh I preached ye Gospell vnto you at the first:

How happy were ye then? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had bene possible, ye had plucked out youre awne eyes, and geue them vnto me.

I wolde I were wt you now, and coulde chauge my voyce, for I stode i doute of you.

For it is wrytten, that Abraham had two sonnes the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a fre woman.

As for him that was of the bode mayde, he was borne after ye flesh: but he which was of the fre woman, was borne by promes.

These wordes betoken somwhat. For these wemen are the two Testamentes: The one from the mount Sina, that gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar.

For Agar is called in Arabia ye mount Sina, and reacheth vnto Ierusalem which now is, and is in bondage with hir children.

For it is wrytte: Reioyse thou baren, that bearest no childre: breake forth and crye thou yt trauaylest not, for the desolate hath many mo childre, then she which hath an hussbande.

As for vs (brethren) we are the children of Isaac acordinge to the promes.

But what sayeth the scripture? Put awaye the bonde mayden and hir sonne: for the sonne of ye bondmayde shal not be heyre with ye sonne of the fre woman.

For in Christ Iesu nether is circumcision eny thinge worth ner vncircumcision, but faith which by loue is mightie in operacion.

For all the lawe is fulfylled in one worde, namely in this: loue thy neghboure as thy selfe.

For the flesh lusteth agaynst the sprete, and the sprete agaynst the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye can not do that which ye wolde:

For euery one shal beare his owne burthen.

Be not disceaued, God wil not be mocked. For what soeuer a man soweth, that shal he reape.

Let vs not be weery of well doynge: for wha the tyme is come, we shal reape without ceassinge.

For eue they them selues which are circumcysed, kepe not the lawe, but wolde haue you circucysed, that they mighte reioyse in youre flesh.

For in Christ Iesu nether circucision avayleth eny thinge, ner vncircumcision, but a new creature.
