9But if ye haue respect to persons, ye commit sinne, and are conuinced of the Law, as transgressours. 10For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Law, & yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11For he that said, Doe not commit adultery; sayd also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressour of the Law. 12So speake ye, and so doe, as they that shall bee iudged by the Law of libertie. 13For he shall haue iudgement without mercie, that hath shewed no mercy, & mercie reioyceth against iudgement.
