And thy behauiour reuerent, giuing due regard with meekenes vnto the word of God, that the sense and substance thereof may enter into thy mind, as the sound doth pierce thy eare; for it is the power of God, to saue thy soule, if thou so heare and re∣teine it; or else it is the sauor of death vnto death, vnto thy eternall damnation, with the Diuell and his Angels, if thou doest carelessely neglect, contemne & despise it: but if thou be carefull to marke what sinne is reproued, and flye the same; and what vertue is commended, and embrace th•• same, it shall then amend thy memory, and manners to grow in knowledge, to learne to liue and die as a Christian.
