A    ^noteFrom whence commeth warre ∧ fighttynge amonge you: come they not here hence? even of youre volupteousnes that rayne in youre members. Ye lust / and have not. ^noteYe envie ∧ have indignacion / and cannot obtayne. Ye fight and warre ∧ have not / because ye axe not. Ye axe and receave not / because ye axe a mysse: ^note even to consume it apon youre volupteousnes. Ye advouterars / ∧ wemen that breke matrimonie: knowe ye not how þt; the fr&ebar;shippe of þe; worlde is ennimite to god warde? Whosoever wilbe a frende of the worlde / is made the enemie of god. Ether do ye thinke that the scripture sayth in vayne The ^note sprite that dwelleth in you / B   lusteth ev&ebar; contrary to envie: but geveth more grace.

Submit youre selves to god / and resist the devyll / and he will flye from you. Drawe nye to god ∧ he will drawe nye to you. Clense youre hondes ye synners / and pourdge youre hertes ye waverynge mynded. Suffre afflicci&obar;s: sorowe ye and wepe. Let youre laughter be turned to mornynge / and youre ioye to hevynes.

Cast doune youre selves before the lorde / and he shall lift you vp. Backbyte not one another / brethren. He that ^note backbyteh hys brother / and he that iudgeth his brother / backbyteth the lawe / and iudgeth the lawe. But and yf thou iudge the lawe / thou art not an observer of þe; lawe: but a iudge. Ther is one lawe gever / D   which is able to save and to distroye. What art thou that iudgest another man?

Go to now ye that saye: to daye ∧ to morow let vs go into soche a citie and continue there a yeare ∧ bye and sell / and wynne: and yet can not tell what shall happen to morowe. For what thynge is youre lyfe? It is even a vapoure that apereth for a lytell tyme / and th&ebar; vanyssheth awaye: For that ye ought to saye: yf the lorde will and yf we live / let vs do this or that. But nowe ye reioyce in youre bostinges. All soche reioysynge is evyll. Therfore to him that knoweth how to do good / and doth it not / to him it is synne. ^note
