For albeit the lawe and the Gospel, many tymes are to be ioyned together in order of doctrine: yet case may fall sometimes, that the law must be vtterly sequestred from the MarginaliaWho they be to whom the Gospell onely belōgeth.

As when any person or persons doe feele them selues, with the Magestie of the law, and iudgement of God, so terrified and oppressed, and with the burden of their sinnes ouerweyd & throwē down into vtter discomfort, and almost euen to the pitte of hell, as happeneth many tymes, to soft and timorous consciences of Gods good seruauntes: when such mortified hartes doe heare eyther in preachyng, or in readyng, any such example or place of the Scripture, whiche perteineth to the law, let them thinke the same nothyng to belong to them, no MarginaliaA mourning gowne in a place of mariage doth not agree. more then a mournyng weede belongeth to a mariage feast: and therfore, remouing vtterly out of their myndes all cogitatiō of the law, of feare, of iudgement, and condemnation, let them onely set before their eyes the Gospell, the swete cōfortes of Gods promise, free forgeuenes of sinnes in Christ grace, redemption, libertie, reioysing, Psalmes, thankes singyng, and a Paradise of spirituall iocunditie, and nothyng els: thinkyng thus with them selues, that the law hath done his office in the already, & now must nedes geue place to hys better, that is, must nedes giue roume to Christe the sonne of MarginaliaChrist the fulfiller, and also the finisher of the lawe.

For as the other before was euen as much as to put on a mournyng gowne, in the feast of a Mariage: so is thys but euen to cast pearles before swyne. Wherein is a great abuse among many. For cōmōly it is sene that these worldly Epicures and secure Mammonistes, to whō the doctrine of the lawe doth properly apperteine, doe receaue and apply to them selues most principally, the swete promises of the Gospell: and contrarywise, the other contrite and brused hartes, to whom belongeth onely the ioyfull tydynges of the Gospell, and not the lawe, for the most part, receaue and reteine to them selues the terrible voyce and sentences of the law, Whereby it commeth to passe that many do reioyse, where they should mourne: and on the other side, many do feare and mourne, MarginaliaHow to separate the lawe frō the Gospell. where they nede not. Wherfore to conclude, in priuate vse of lyfe, let euery person discretly discerne betwene the law and the Gospel, and aptly apply to him selfe that whiche hee seeth conuenient.

Then after hys degradation, they condemned hym as an heretike equal with M.
