THE ARGVMENT.

Of avoyding manslaughter, & how many waies it is committed in the sight of God, the end whereof is, that the safetie of everie one ought to bee commended to everie one.

What doeth God require in the sixt commandement.

That neither by thought, nor by word, nor by gesture, much lesse by deede, either by my selfe, or by any other, I doe reuile, or hate, or hurt, or slay my neighbour, buta cast away all desire of reuenge. Moreouer that Ib hurt not my selfe, nor wittingly cast my selfe into any daunger. And therfore also, that murther might be avoided, he hathc armed the Magistrate with the sword.d
