15 ! Not to giue our selues to couetous care of this life.

27 h The liberalitie of God which shineth in the herbes and floures, surmounteth all that man can do by his riches or force.

32 k Which is the chiefest thing that can be giuen, and therefore you can not want those things which are of lesse importance.

32 ! But to righteousnes, almes, watching, patiente, wisdome and concorde.

37 m Because they did vse long garments, the maner was to girde or trusse them vp when they went about anie busines.

48 p To whome God hathe giuen manie graces.

49 q The Gospel is as a burning fyre moste vehement, which maketh a change of things through all the worlde.
