The texte.

For as many as hang vpon the obseruaunces of Moses law, whō they kepe not in dede, but breake, are vnder all Goddes indignacion & curse. The Iewes selfe cannot deny this, forasmuche as in the boke of Deute∣ronomie this wyse it is written, cursed be he that continueth not in all thinges, whiche are written in the boke of the lawe, and doeth not suche thinges as by the lawe are cōmaunded. By whiche wordes ye see, that suche as kepe the lawe ceremonial, are not for that promised to be made Page  x righteous, but the transgressers therof are threatened goddes curse. What man is he, that is able to perfourme the whole lawe, specially synce it is suche a thyng, whiche when through inhibicion it hath prouoked men to syn, gyueth no strength nor ablenes to suppresse and ouercome desyers.
