¶ The .v. Chapter.

STond fast therfore in y^• libertie wher with Christ hath made vs fre / & wrap [ A] * 1.1 pe not youre selves agayne in y^• yoke of bondage. Beholde I Paul saye vnto you / that yf ye be circumcised / Christ shall proffit you nothinge at all. I testifie agayne to every man which is circumcised that he is bounde to kepe the whole lawe. Ye are gone quyte frō Christ as many as are iustified by the lawe / & are fallen from grace. We loke for & hope in the sprite / to be iustified thorow fayth. For in Iesu Christ / nether is circumcision eny thin∣ge

worth / nether yet vncircōcision / but * 1.2 faith which by love is mighty in operacion. Ye did runne well: who was a let vnto you / that ye shuld not obey the trueth? Evē that counsell [ B] that is not of him that called you. A lytell le∣ven doth leven the whole lompe of dowe.

✚ I have trust towarde you in the Lorde / y^t ye wyll be none other wyse mynded. He that troubleth you shall beare his iudgemēt / what* 1.3 soever he be. Brethren yf I yet preache circū cision: why do I then yet suffre persecucion? For then had the offence which the crosse ge veth / ceased. I wolde to God they were sepe∣rated from you which trouble you. Brethrē ye were called in to (libertie) only let not youre libertie be an occasion vnto the flesshe / but in* 1.4 love serve one another. For all y^• lawe is ful∣filled in one worde / which is this: thou shalt love thyne neghbour as thy selfe. Yf ye byte [ C] & devoure one another: take hede lest ye be con¦sumed one of another.

✚ I saye walke in the sprete / & fulfill not y^•* 1.5 lustes of y^e flesshe. For y^e flesshe lusteth con∣trary to y^e sprete / & y^• sprete cōtrary to y^e fles∣she. Tese are cōtrary one to the other / so y^t ye cānot do that which ye wolde. But & yf ye be* 1.6 ledde of the sprete / then are ye not vnder the lawe. The dedes of the flesshe are many fest / whiche are these / advoutrie / fornicaciō / vnclē∣nes / wantannes / ydolatrye / witchecraft / ha∣tred / variaunce / zele / wrath / stryfe / sedicion / sec tes / envyinge / murther / dronkēnes / glottony / [ D] and soche lyke: of the which I tell you before

as I have tolde you in tyme past / that they which cōmit soche thing{is} / shall not inherite / y^e kyngdome of God. But * 1.7 y^e frute of sprete is / loue / ioye / peace / longesufferinge / gētlenes goodnes / faythfulnes / meknes / temperancye. Agaynst suche ther is no lawe. They y^e are Christis / have crucified the flesshe with the appetites and lustes. ✚ ✚ Yf we lyve in the sprete / let vs walke in the sprete. Let vs not be vayne glorious / provokinge one another / & envyinge one another.
