uered
his
olde
bryghtnes
/
&
shyneth
so
abrode
now
/
that
euen
they
whose
inwarde
eyes
be
blynded
with
false
perswasyons
of
man
and
couetyse
&
vayneglorye
perceyue
a
twynkeling
of
this
light
.
For
they
can
not
deny
but
that
they
haue
erred
in
many
thynges
and
were
fer
wyde
fro
the
square
/
how
lothe
so
euer
they
be
to
heare
it
of
laye
men
/
or
of
suche
as
beynge
good
preestes
/
wolde
fayne
call
theym
agayne
to
his
doctryne
/
who
alone
is
the
waye
/
the
trouth
&
lyfe
.
And
what
can
be
a
more
euydent
token
of
the
hye
indygnacyon
of
the
godhed
agaynste
the
chyrche
of
Rome
,
then
that
this
Pharao
and
all
his
egyptiens
be
so
hardened
in
theyr
hertes
,
that
they
wyll
in
no
wyse
receyue
the
truthe
&
doctryne
of
hym
whose
folowers
they
professe
themselfe
to
be
.
Of
whome
may
full
well
be
affyrmed
the
wordes
of
the
prophete
Dauid
.
Eyes
they
haue
/
&
shall
not
se.
Eeres
they
haue
,
and
shall
not
heare
.
wherfore
no
meruayle
/
for
they
are
so
drowned
in
the
desyres
of
worldly
worshyp
,
that
where
as
they
shold
saye
with
the
apostles
to
Chryst
,
Marci
.
x.
lo
we
haue
left
all
/
&
haue
folowed
the
/
they
can
not
saye
(
yf
they
shall
not
lye
)
but
the
clene
contrary
/
that
they
forsake
nothyng
/
but
catche
all
to
them selfe
and
forsake
him
.
wherfore
the
same
prophet
Dauid
fearyng
this
displeasure
and
greate
angre
of
god
fallen
vpon
the
papystes
/
and
desyrynge
the
grace
shewed
now
to

/
prayeth
on
this
wyse
.
Lord
make
thy
waies
knowen
to
me
/
&
teache
me
thy
pathes
.
And
why
prayeth
he
so
▪
For
as
he
writeth
in
an
other
place
.
Cursed
be
they
good
lorde
that
swarue
from
thy
commaundementes
.
Now
who
swarueth
more
from
the
commaundementes
of
god
/
than
he
which
taketh
vpon
hym
to
be
an
herdes
man
/
and
a
feder
of
Crystes
shepe
/
&
dryueth
them
away
from
theyr
mete
/
nor
playeth
the
good
&
iust
husbond
of
goddes
house
/
sowynge
spirytual
thynges
&
repynge
therfore
carnall
,
but
he
repeth
carnall
thiges
/
for
the
sowyng
of
the
vnthrifty
cockle
of
most
foule
and
abomynable
errors
/
and
seducynge
the
people
of
god
after
his
moste
detestable
lustes
.
which
word
good
redar
I
wold
not
that
thou
sholdest
thynke
to
be
spoken
generally
of
all
spyrytuall
men
.
For
there
are
among
them
thanked
be
god
hyely
therfore
,
men
endued
with
great
connynge
/
wysedom
/
&
vertuous
liuing
.
whose
workes
according
to
the
commaundement
of
the
gospell
,
do
shyne
afore
all
men
to
the
glorye
of
the
father
of
heuyn
.
Againe
thou
must
not
so
interprete
my
sayenges
as
I
sholde
thynke
it
vnlauful
for
the
clergy
to
haue
ony
possessyons
at
al.
Luc.
x.
euery
workeman
saythe
Chryste
is
worthy
to
haue
his
wages
.
And
the
apostle
wrytyng
to
the
Corinthyens
sayth
/
who
is
he
that
serueth
in
warre
at
his
owne
coste
?
who
planteth
a

and
eateth
not

therof
?
who
feadeth
a

and
eateh
not
of

mylke
of
the

?
But
I
meaned
of
suche
as
haue
possessyons
&
domynyons
more
lyke
to
kynges
&
emperours
then
spyritual
fathers
.
not
noryshynge

for

And
then
the
lyke
Annas

Cayphas
/
Ioēs

Alexandre
/
of
whome
mentyon
is
made
in
the
actes
of
the
apostles
forbyd
men
to
speake

teache
in
the
name
of
Iesu
/
for
they
will
not
haue
his
gospell
taught
nor
spoken
of
,
which
Christ
wold
haue
preached
vpon
houses
.
To
rede
the
new
testament
with
them
is
heresy
,
which
is
no
thyng
elles
saue
Chrystes
wordes
&
his

And
for
norysshynge
of

You

Lo

whiche
dyd
fede

Be
not

theyr
herdesmen
/
you
dyd
eate
the
mylke
and
with
the
wolles
you
were
couered
,
&
what
so
euer
was
fatte
/
you
kylled
it
.
But
my
flocke
you
dyd
not
feade
you
dyd
not
consolidate
that
which
was
weake
/
you
healed
not
that
whiche
was
syk
/
you
bound
not
to
gyther
that
whiche
was
broken
/
you
brought
not
againe
that
which
was
abiecte
/
and
you
sought
not
that
which
was
lost
/
but
you
ruled
them
with
austerite
&
power
.
And
my
shepe
were
skatered
abrode
,
because
there
was
no
shepherd
/
and
they
were
deuoured
of
all
the
beastes
of
the
feelde
&
dysperpled
.
My
herdes
haue
erred
in
all
mountaynes
/
and
in
euery
hy
hyll
/
&
vpon
all
the
face
of
the

Therfore

here

I
lyue
saith

Bycause
that
my

haue
bene
made
in
to
rapyne
and
my
shepe
to
the
deuouryng
of

of

bycause
there
was
no

nor
the
shepeherdes
dyd
not

but
the
shepherdes
did

they
dyd

therfore

This
sayth
the

Lo
I
shall
requyre
of

I

And
I

it
shall

&c.
Se
here
most
gentle
reader
the
angre
of
god
enydently
fallen
vpon
the
bysshop
of
Romes
tyrannye
/
and
his
adherentes
whose
proude
power
daylye
decreaseth
according
to
the
sayenges
of
this
prophete
/
for
theyr
deuourynge
of
Chrystes
flocke
.
And
se
also
on
the
other
syde
the
greate
goodnes
of
god
towarde
our
Englysshe
nacyon
/
whiche
hathe
delyuered
vs
oute
of
his
rauenyng
mouth
/
and
gyuen
vs
our
hed
&
herdes
man
our
moste
redoubted
souerayne
/
whome
he
hath
made
the
veray
defender
of
the
fayth
and
an
hed
shepherd
to
set
suche
herdes
men
vnder
hym
/
which
shall
fede
vs
&
not
deuour
vs
.
Is
not
this
a
greate
token
gentle
redar
/
that
almyghty
god
is
well
content
with
this
gracyous
&
veray
fortunate
maryage
/
whiche
hath
sente
vs
the
light
of
his
lawes
sens
that
tyme
&
hath
brought
vs
out
of
the
thraldome
of
yll
bysshops
.
And
as
he
made
kynge
Dauid
keper
of
his
herd
of
Israell
as
it
is
expressed
of
the
prophet
in
the
forsayd
chapytre
/
euen
so
he
hath
by
the
voice
of
his
people
/
chosen
our
most
noble
&
vertuous
kynge
Henry
to
be
hed
of
his
Englishe
flocke
,
as
well
in
spirituall
gouernaunce
as
in
erthly
domynyon
.
Let
here
no
man
murmour
as
some
do
yet
/
that
his
grace
is
electe
to
be
hedde
of
the
chyrche
in
his
realme
/
no
forther
then
goddes
lawes
do
permyt
/
as
who
saith
,
there
is
in
that
pointe
an

For
why
sholde
not
by
goddes
lawe
our
kynge
and
souerayne

man
as
well
as
Dauid
beynge
a
lay
prynce
was
hed
shepehered
to
his
flocke
of
Israell
?
Now
wher
can
ony
of
them
fynde
one
iote
in
scripture
that
proueth
theyr
most
holy
father
to
be
aboue
kynges
or
temporall
rulers
?
peraduenture
,
they
wyll
brynge
forth
for
them
,
that
Peter
sayde
to
our
lorde
,
lo

here
be
.
ii
.
swerdes
&
therof
inferre
/
that
he
&
his
successours
had
giuen
to
them
hy
power
both
ouer
spyrytuall
&
also
temporall
.
In
good
soth
this
is
a
ioyly
smal
reason
and
worthy
to
come
oute
of
a
profounde
sophysters
mouth
,
euen
as
who
wold
say
.
Yf
when
the
kynges
grace
rydeth
in
to
the
forest
on
huntyng
/
one
shewe
him
an
hart
or
two
,
ergo
by
and
by
he
is
chefe
foster
of
the
hole
londe
.
Ad
populum
phaleras
/
as
ꝑsius
saith
.
Let
them
blere
good
sely
pore
symple
folkes
eyes
/
with
these
gewgawes
/
for
other
men
seith
their
lygyer
de
mayne
well
ynoughe
.
what
saith
Peter
him selfe
doeth
he
ascrybe
ony
such
power
to
him
or
ony
other
of
his
teachyng
.
Be
you
obedyente
saythe
he
to
euery
humayne
creature
for
our
lordes
sake
/
eyther
to
the
kynge
as
most
excellente
(
marke
you
he
calleth
kinges
most
excellent
,
&
vsurpeth
no
suche
tytle
to
hym selfe
)
or
to
other
guydes
as
sente
of
hym
.
Saint
Paule
sayth
that
all
temporall
power
is
of
god
/
&
he
byddeth
in
diuers
places
to
be
obedient
to
temporall
prynces
.
Some
hystoryes
also
make
mencyon
,
that
the
bysshop
of
Rome
toke
not
vpon
hym
to
be
hed
of
the
chyrche
tyll
the
yeare
of
our
lord
.
C.
x●v
.
Ergo
then
yf
this
hystorye
be
true
it
is
a
false
tale
to
saye
that
this
double
power
was
giuen
to
Peter
of
god
,
seyng
that
neyther
he
nor
a
dosen
mo
of
his
successours
(
graunted
that
he
was
pope
)
toke
it
not
vpon
theym
tyll
one
vyctor
waxed
so
stoute
/
&
yet
he
vsurped
no
temporall
power
,
how
that
came
in
I
report
me
to
them
.
Saint
Paule
neuer
sayde
of
the
apostles
that
they
bare
ony
swerde
,
but
of
temporall
prynces
he
sayd
that
they
here
not
a
swerde
without
cause
.
It
is
meate
for
vs
then
to
gyue
to
god
that
is
his
/
&
to
our
kyng
that
is
his
.
who
as
thou
seest
hathe
the
rule
ouer
vs
vnder
god
&
not
the
bysshop
of
Rome
.
And
hyghly
we
are
bounde
to
thanke
the
blessed
Trinite
/
that
the
eyes
of
faithfull
people
be
vncouered
to
se
the
truthe
.
wherfore
I
confesse
that
I
was
my selfe
a
greate
whyle
blynded
&
went
asyde
in

counsell
of

But
I
thanke

he

an

to
loke
better
on

where

wherfore
sens

For

I
call

I

of

whiche
lyfe
god
that
cannot
lye

hathe
promysed
before
the

began
/
but
hath
at
the
tyme
apointed
opened
his
wordes
by
preachynge
/
whiche
preachyng
is
commytted
vnto
me
,
by
the

god
our

to
Tytus
his

Grace

For

not

For
a
bysshop
must
be
such
as
no

complaine

not

For
there
are
many
disobedyent

talkers
of
vanyte

disceyuers
of

namely
they
of

Here
begynneth
the
Paraphrase
of
Erasmus
of
Roterdame
vpon
saint
Paules
Epse
to
his
dyscyple
Tytus
.
I
PAule
my selfe
the
sworne
seruant
and
obeyer
/
not
of
Moyses
lawe
as
I
was
ones
/
but
of
the
law
of
god
the
father
/
and
Embassadour
of
his
sone
Iesu
Chryst.
Of
the
whyche
myne
Embassade
or
commissyon
the
hole
effecte
is
this
,
that
suche
as
god
hathe
electe
to
euangelycal
helthe
/
them
I
shold
exhorte
and
call
/
not
to
the
obseruacyon
of
the
olde
lawe
/
or
to
put
theyr
trust
in
theyr
workes
/
but
I
must
moue
them
to
faith
/
which
only
openeth
to
all
men
the
entryng
to
euerlastynge
lyfe
/
thrughe
the
free
goodnes
of
Iesu
Chryste
.
And
my
commyssyon
is
not
to
call
them
to
faith
onely
/
but
also
to
the
knowleg
of
trueth
which
among
the
gentyles
was
ouerheaped
&
doluen
in
the
imagynacyons
and
fayned
Inuentyons
of
worldly
wysdom
.
And
among
the
iewes
it
was
had
in
shadowes
&
wrappinges
of
figures
.
I
am
encharged
I
say
to
call
men
to
the
knowlege
of
truthe
/
not
that
whiche
the
phylosophers
of
this
worlde
do
teache
/
dysputyng
on
the
causes
of
naturall
thynges
/
but
to
the
knowlege
of
the
truthe
,
whiche
compendiously
sheweth
in
what
thynges
true
chrysten
lyuyng
is
set
/
whose
ende
and
rewarde
is
euerlastyng
lyfe
/
folowyng
after
this
shorte
lyfe
that
we
lede
here
in
this
worlde
,
which
euerlastig
lyfe
all
good
and
godly
lyuers
ought
with
the
more
trust
to
hope
for
/
in
how
so
euer
great
tribulations
and
euylles
of
this
worlde
they
be
.
Fyrste
by
cause
he
that
promysed
them
this
lyfe
euerlasting
was
not
a
man
that
myght
both
be
deceyuyd
hym selfe
,
and
also
deceyue
other
/
but
it
was
god
hymselve
/
which
as
it
can
not
be
chosen
/
but
he
must
nedes
abyde
styll
god
/
so
can
nothynge
surely
procede
from
hym
/
but
the
mere
truth
.
And
agayne
bycause
this
that
he
promysed
,
he
dyd
not
promyse
it
by
chaunce
,
or
nowe
of
late
/
but
afore
that
the
worlde
was
made
it
was
fyxed
&
fully
determyned
by
the
deuyne
and
vnchaungeable
decre
of
his
mynde
to
do
that
which
he
now
doeth
.
There
is
no
newe
thynge
come
to
his
purpose
/
but
that
thynge
which
for
secrete
causes
onely
knowen
to
the
godhed
he
wolde
haue
hytherto
couered
and
hyd
/
that
wold
he
haue
opened
to
all
the
world
at
this
tyme
whiche
by
his
euerlastynge
wysdome
he
had
afore
appoynted
to
this
busynes
.
Nor
he
wolde
not
that
there
sholde
be
onely
shewed
to
the
Iewes
a
darke
shadow
of
the
fygures
of
some
blynde
thyng
and
harde
to
be
discussed
/
but
his
wyll
is
to
haue
a
playne
truth
to
be
made
open
by
the
open
&
playne
preachynge
of
the
gospell
to
all
men
,
withoute
ony
dyuersyte
eyther
of
nation
or
tongue
.
This
is
the
sum
and
hole
effect
of
the
doctryne
of
the
gospell
/
the
prechyng
wherof
I
haue
not
taken
vpon
me
of
myne
owne
hed
/
but
it
was
commytted
to
me
and
not
by
men
/
but
by
our
sauyour
god
/
who
not
onely
called
me
to
the
occupieng
of
an
apt'es
roume
and
offyce
/
but
also
he
enioyned
it
me
/
yea
&
so
he
charged
me
therwith
/
that
it
was
not
lauful
or
free
for
me
to
say
naye
to
that
whiche
he
commaunded
me
to
do
/
which
wordes
I
haue
spoken
to
th
entent
that
no
man
sholde
thynke
myn
authorite
to
be
●yhgt
/
or
els
theyr
authoryte
/
whome
I
haue
put
ony
where
i
my
stede
.
I
therfore
the
same
Paule
beyng
in
suche
authoryte
do
wryte
this
letter
to
Titus
my
true
and
naturall
son
/
not
by
bodely
generacyon
but
by
the
sede
of
faythe
,
which
I
haue
so
shed
in
to
hym
and
in
the
which
he
so
well
resembleth
me
/
that
I
seme
to
be
renewed
in
hym
lyke
as
a
father
is
in
his
owne
naturall
son
.
To
hym
I
whissh
that
there
may
come
grace
and
peace
from
hym
/
from
whome
all
very
goodnes
dothe
come
/
that
is
to
saye
from
god
the
father
and
his
son
Iesu
Chryste
the
onely
author
of
our
helth
.
For
in
suche
ryches
,
as
grace
,
&
peace
are
,
my
desire
is
to
haue
my
chyldren
made
ryche
.
But
to
speake
now
to
the
my
son
Tytus
,
syth
I
dyd
knowe
ryght
well
the
nature
of
this
Ilonde
/
and
againe
I
dyd
not
doubt
but
that
they
had
nede
of
a
faythfull
and
dilygent
creanser
or
ouerseer
/
I
haue
for
that
cause
lefte
the
in
Crete
as
representyng
myn
own
person
,
bycause
that
the
busynes
of
the
gospell
calleth
me
to
other
places
/
that
suche
thynges
as
haue
there
begon
to
be
corrected
by
me
/
thou
as
my
deputye
maye
make
make
an
ende
of
them
.
And
because
that
thou
alone
art
not
able
to
ouerloke
so
many
cytyes
as
this
He
is
replenysshed
with
/
thou
shalt
ordeyn
in
euery
cytye
an
hedde
preest
or
bysshop
as
I
when
I
depted
dyd
dyd
the
/
But
beware
that
thou
admyt
no
man
to
so
hye
an
offyce
without
greate
dyscressyon
/
for
he
must
be
a
very
proued
man
to
whome
thou
shalte
betake
this
charge
/
and
not
all
onelye
of
a
knowen
and
testyfyed
honestye
/
but
also
he
must
be
clere
from
all
supycyon
of
any
maner
of
faute
what
so
euer
it
be
.
Suche
a
bysshop
or
ouerseer
to
thent
ent
that
thou
mayst
the
better
and
surelyer
those
out
/
I
wyll
set
hym
forth
by
certayne
sygnes
/
yea
and
in
maner
paynt
hym
to
the.
Yf
thou
know
ony
man
to
be
of
suche
maners
&
that
vpryght
lyuyng
/
that
no
faut●
can
prouable
be
layde
to
hym
.
Yf
ony
man
beyng
content
with
one
matrimony
geue
no
token
of
vnchast
lyuyng
/
if
he
haue
chyldren
so
instructe
and
brought
vp
,
that
not
onely
in
the
knowlaigyng
of
Chrystes
faythe
/
but
also
by
the
innocency
of
theyr
lyuynge
they
shew
them selfe
to
be
chrysten
men
/
that
is
to
saye
not
yll
named
for
ryot
,
as
the
commune
sort
of
yonge
men
be
/
nor
dysobedyent
to
theyr
father
and
mother
.
For
he
that
shall
be
counted
worthye
to
be
a
bisshop
must
be
so
fer
wyde
from
all
vyce
&
besyde
that
fro
the
suspicyon
of
ony
vyce
/
that
he
muste
marke
that
he
not
onely
kepe
his
owne
honesty
/
but
also
of
all
his
householde
,
for
the
fautes
of
the
chyldren
are
wonte
communely
to
be
reproched
to
the
fathers
&
mothers
.
Now
what
soeuer
hurteth
the
good
name
of
a
bysshop
/
it
turneth
to
the
sclaunder
of
the
gospell
of
Chryste
.
It
is
necessary
therfore
that
he
whiche
in
a
maner
stondeth
in
goddes
stede
/
and
to
whome
the
treasure
of
the
teachyng
of
the
gospell
as
to
a
chosen
dispenser
therof
is
commytted
be
in
all
poyntes
without
blame
/
and
a

He
muste

the

he

He
that

I

〈◊〉

〈◊〉
●hich
thinges
men
will
sooner
withdrawe

folow

he
must
also
in
ony

beware
of
couetyse
and
gapynge
after
lucre
for
that
thynge
is
vyle
and
pestylent
in
ony
laye
offycer
,
&
moche
more
to
be
abhorred
in

For
he
that
is
infecte
with
the
vyce
of
auaryce
doth
nothyng
vpryghtly
,
and
as
of
equyte
it
shold
be
done
.
A
bysshop
muste
besyde
these
be
sober
,
iust
in
innocency
of
lyfe
,
vertuous
and
godly
in
the
obseruacyon
of
Chrystes
faythe

of
the

not
subiecte

but
ferre
aboue
all
such
desyres
by
whiche
the
commune
sorte
of
men
are
led

But
chefyly
he
must
be
a
stedfast
holder
of
the

of
the

,
wherin
he
is
bound

that

I
do
not
warne
the
of
these
thinges
causeles
/
for
there
be
many
waywarde
parsons
/
brabelers
&
deceyuers
of

myndes

which
not
geuyng
an

bryng
in

vayne

vnprofitable
fables
of

,
wherby
they
may
get
them
a
name
of
lernyng
among
the
people
,
&
wynnynge
also
.
And
by
these
fables
they
entise
the
mindes
of
some
symple
folke
&
begile
them
crawlyng
vnder
the
colour
of
the

the

of
theyr

,
in
so
moche
that
many
tymes
they
corrupte
not
one

they
ouert̄ne
hole
householdes

kynredes
,
teachynge
shamefull
thynges
/
&
far
square
from
the
verite
of
the

And
yet
for
al
that
they
abuse
the
tytle
of
the
gospell
to
the
lucre
/
whiche
vilanously
they
daily
hunt
after
/
wherfore
se
that
you
rebuke
theym
sharply
and
shyt
theyr

.
There
be
some
of
the
gentyles
that
be
combred
with
this
enormyty

but
specyally
thou
shalt
fynde
them

this
malitious

which

which
vntruely

wyll
not

And
it
is
no

And
that

But

nothyng

For

than

which

This

nothing

not

for

wold
haue
all

after

litterall
sence
,
but
to
be
referred

the

of

what
thynge
can
be
pure
to

,
whose

&
their

ambytion

They
vpholde
the

and
yet
they
wote
not
what
the
lawe
meaneth
.
They
haue
their

circumcysed

but
the
mynd
within
is
vncircumcised
.
They
go
i
to
the
temple
with
hondes
&
fete
wasshed
,
but
the
soule
&
conscience
is
vnwasshed
.
They
kepe
their
sabbot
holy
from
bodely
workes
/
but
in
the
meane
tyme
/
they
haue
theyr
breste
vnquyeted
with
hate
,
anger
,
simony
/
&
other
troubles
of
the

.
They
fere
to
be
contamynate
yf
they
taste

but
they
thynke

clene
when
they
with

foule

They
thynke

yf
they
touche
ony

but
yet
thei
abhorre
not
to
touche
a
quene

They
thynke
it
a

yf
they
vse
onye
garment
of

wollen
mengled

but
they
stonde
not

when
they
haue
theyr

ouercouerd
with
so
many
foule

It
is
a
great
shame
therfore
to
theym
to
boste
them selfe
that
they
alone
knowe
god
seyng
that
they
deny

Do
they
not

him
,
when
they

so
spotted

of

that
they

and
when

yea
&

in

,
that
no

And
fynally
when
in
all
dedes
of
true
faythe
and
seruyce
towarde
god
by
which
we
sholde
make
god
to
be
mercyfull
to

they
be
farre
wors
then
other

be
.
The
second
chapyter
.
BUt
let
them
go
with
theyr
fables
/
let
the
naughtines
of
these
men
moue
the
nothynge
at
all
/
but
for
all
them
remembre
thyne
offyce
and
duty
,
and
speke
tho
thynges
that
be
indede
mete
for
the
lernynge
of
the
gospell
/
that
is
to

whiche
may
make
vs
commendable
to
god
for
our
clene
myndes
and
clene
maners
/
&
declare
that
we
be
the
dyscyples
of
Chryst.
But
here
peraduenture
thou
wylt
aske
me
what
thinges
they
be
.
Thou
shalt
warne
the
elders
and
senyours
of
the
people
that
they
be
sobre
/
wachfull
/
&
dylygent
to
all
workes
of
vertue
/
and
that
they
ouercome
the
dulnes
of
theyr
age
with
the
quikenes
of
faythe
.
warne
them
also
that
they
kepe
grauyte
and
that
they
play
not
the
foles
lyke
yong
men
vncomely
in
theyr
olde
age
.
And
that
they
be
of
good
and
sad
maners
/
that
the
youth
may
haue
them
in
reuerence
and
awe
/
&
temꝑate
them selfe
that
they
be
not
waywarde
and
soone
an
angred
as
the
commune
sorte
of
olde
men
is
/
and
wel
commended
of
other
&
with
out
blame
not
onely
for
the
integryte
of
theyr
feythe
/
but
also
in
doynge
dedes
of
charyte
/
and
in
suffrynge
of
incommodityes
&
trybulations
,
namely
for
the
gospell
of
christ
.
On
the
same
maner
thou
shalt
warne
olde
wemen
that
they
go
apparelled
after
suche
maner
as
becometh
theym
that
wyll
be
named
chrysten
folke
/
they
must
not
blame
the
lyuynge
of
other
/
whiche
faulte
is
peculyer
to
this
sex
and
age
.
They
muste
not
be
geuen
to
ouermoche
drynckynge
of
wyne
/
how
be
it
the
vse
of
wyne
must
be
permytted
to
age
/
so
it
be
moderate
.
They
must
teche
maydens
&
yong
women
honest
thinges
/
no
nycenesse
or
other
yll
maners
and
so
brynge
them
vp
that
they
loue
theyr
owne
husbondes
and
theyr
children
/
and
that
they
be
sobre
and
chaste
/
and
busy
at
home
,
and
for
to
se
theyr
houses
well
ordered
and
playe
the
good
housewyues
.
For
this
surely
is
the
chefest
praise
that
women
can
haue
,
to
be
knowen
subiect
&
obedyent
to
their
husbondes
/
that
by
theyr
lewde
maners
the
name
of
god
,
(
whose
relygeon
they
professe
)
be
not
sclaundred
.
For
sythen
we
se
the
wyues
of
myscreauntes
or
hethen
men
to
behaue
theym selfe
ryght
womanly
in
these
pointes
belongyng
to
womanhod
/
what
shall
suche
infydeles
say
if
they
se
christsten
women
in
the
layd
pointes
worse
then
be
theyr
women
whome
as
they
are
chrysten
/
so
they
ought
a
great
deale
to
passe
them
in
honestye
&
vertue
.
Now
what
thynge
old
women
muste
by
thyne
instruction
teache
yong
maydens
and
yong
wyues
/
that
same
shalte
thou
thy selfe
teache
yong
men
/
exhortyng
them
to
be
sobre
&
moderate
in
theyr
affections
/
that
the
heate
of
youth
ouerthrowe
them
not
hedlynge
in
to
viciousnes
.
And
that
thou
mayst
with
more
efficacie
perswade
these
thynges
.
Fyrst
of
all
be
thou
thy selfe
to
theym
an
example
of
honest
dedes
,
and
that
in
all
office
of
godly
lyfe
.
For
no
man
doeth
sooner
or
easylyer
pswade
,
then
he
whiche
constantly
doeth
as
he
teacheth
.
Thou
shalte
therfore
teache
the
youth
thus
,
&
in
the
meane
space
in
teachynge
lyue
vprightly
that
thy
lyfe
be
not
corrupt
with
ony
vyce
/
&
kepe
suche
grauyte
that
it
maye
make
theym
to
haue
thy
doctrine
in
reuerence
&
awe
.
And
therfore
so
moderate
all
thy
lyfe
&
wordes
that
there
can
nothing
be
founde
in
the
/
to
be
despysed
&
set
at
naught
/
so
that
not
onelye
they
whiche
be
vnder
thy
loore
/
may
obey
the
/
but
also
they
that
were
afore
agaynste
the
gospell
,
may
be
a
shamed
of
theyr
yll
sayenge
/
when
they
shall
se
all
thynges
in
the
so
without
blame
,
that
they
whiche
lye
in
wayte
for
the
,
and
seke
all
the
occasyons
thei
can
,
to
chop
at
the
,
can
fynde
nothyng
wherby
they
can
iustly
speake
ony
thyng
agaynst
the
.
As
concerning
seruauntes
exhorte
theym
to
be
obedyente
to
theyr
maysters
and
dylygente
to
please
theym
in
all
thynges
that
not
by
the
profession
of
Christes
religion
they
may
seme
to
be
made
wors
then
they
were
afore
/
and
therby
may
begynne
reproch
to
be
geuen
to
the
gospell
/
when
it
is
al
the
frute
of
naughty
parsons
.
Let
them
not
therfore
be
full
of
excuses
,
and
yll
wylled
to
do
theyr
masters
commaundementes
,
nor
preny
pykers
/
as
the
most
sorte
of
yll
seruantes
be
/
that
seynge
they
professe
the
gospell
they
declare
them selfe
in
all
seruyse
to
be
don
to
theyr
masters
,
faithful
&
true
/
yea
though
their
masters
do
but
litle
deserue
it
of
them
.
So
that
thrugh
theyr
honest
maners
thei
may
commend
and
set
forth
the
doctryne
of
our
sauyour
god
/
that
by
them
mo
men
may
be
drawen
to
the
folowyng
of
it
/
if
men
se
suche
as

theym selfe
to
be
christen
men
/
to
be
therby
more
gentle
and
amyable
in
all
theyr
lyuynge
.
For
in
this
thrugh
the
gospel
hath
shined
the
goodnes
and
gentelnes
of
god
our
sauyour
not
afore
knowen
.
And
it
hathe
not
shyned
onely
to
the

/
but
egaliy
to
all
men
,
not
that
after
we
be
delyuerd
fro
the
burden
of
Moyses
lawe
/
we
sholde
lyue
after
our
owne
wyll

but
we
be
taught
/
that
after
that
by
baptysine
the
fautes
of
our

afore

be

&
that
we
sweryng

Exhorte

For
there
be
some

Here
therfore
shewe
forth
the
grauyte
and
authoryte
of

Now
as
I
wold
haue
that
all
seruauntes
sholde
be
to
theyr
maysters
,
yea
thoughe
they
be
gentyles
/
euen
suche
by
thy
monycyon
wolde
I
haue
all
christen
men
to
be
to
theyr
prynces
and
to
suche
as
are
hed
offycers
vnder
them
/
though
suche
prices
or
rulers
vnder
whom
they
be
,
are
them selfe
vncrystened
.
For
this
muste
we
in
ony
maner
of
wyse
take
hede
vnto
/
that
no
man
may
by
our
maners
,
catche
ony
occasyon
to
alienat
him selfe
fro
the
gospell
.
But
it
wolde
so
chaunce
yf
they
that
be
heddes
&
rulers
shold
perceyue
that
we
by
reason
of
the
professyon
that
we
haue
taken
/
were
more
sedicyous
and
stately
,
and
lesse
obedyent
to
theyr
commaundementes
.
For
they
wolde
anon
ley
that
to
the
faute
of
the
gospell
/
&
so
more
withdrawe
theyr
myndes
fro
the
professyon
therof
.
warne
them
therfore
that
beleue
in
Chryst
/
that
they
be
neuer
the
more
for
all
that
free
fro
the
lawes
&
authorite
of
the
kynges
or
prynces
or
other
rulers
vnder
whose
domynion
they
be
/
but
they
muste
the
rather
bycause
they
be
chrysten
men
,
be
obedyente
subiectes
/
and
gladly
do
as
they
be
commaunded
/
and
redy
&
prone
to
euery
good
worke
/
then
men
may
se
them
do
as
they
ought
to
do
not
beyng
constrayned
therto
for
feare
of
punyshment
/
but
of
theyr
owne
fre
wyll
.
For
yf
the
heddes
do
commaunde
that
which
is
ryghtfull
/
it
is
greate
iniquite
and
a
foule
ensample
to
dysobey
hym
that
is
heed
ouer
all
other
.
But
agayne
yf
they
commaunde
&
rule
otherwyse
then
ryght
is
/
yf
they
oppresse
theyr
subiectes
to
hardly
/
yf
they
call
to fore
upon
theym
:
yet
gentlenes
&
suffrance
is
more
comely
for
no
man
than
the
folowers
of
Christe
.
what
so
euer
they
commaunde
vs
that
is
not
agaynst
the
very
relygyon
of
god
/
we
must
therin
gladly
obey
.
Thei
wyll
peraduenture
take
away
our
goodes
/
what
then
?
For
theym
groweth
to
vs
a
greate
treasure
of
good
vertuous
lyuyng
.
They
wil
bannishe
vs
out
of
the
contrey
.
It
maketh
no
matter
/
for
Chryst
is
euery
where
redy
to
confort
his
seruantes
.
Here
peraduenture
some
man
wyll
say
/
what
&
our
prynces
be
hethen
men
and
worshyppars
of
Idolles
/
contamynate
with
open
vyces
/
enemyes
to
Christes
faythe
.
They
that
be
suche
/
be
such
to
theyr
owne
harme
and
ieoperdy
/
it
is
not
our
parte
to
condempne
them
but
to
amende
theym
.
And
better
they
may
be
induced
by
obedyence
/
suffrance
/
and
examples
of
good
lyuynge
/
then
by
rebellyon
/
or
opprobrious
sayenges
.
Let
vs
leue
theym
to
their
iudge
/
and
let
vs
remembre
what
is
syttynge
for
vs
.
Chryst
dyd
praye
for
them
that
blasphemyd
him
/
so
fer
wide
it
is
that
he
wolde
gyue
chek
for
chek
/
how
is
it
then
conuenyente
that
his
discyples
sholde
be
contumelious
agaynste
ony
man
as
louers
of
stryfe
and
debate
?
But
rather
after
the
example
of
hym
/
whose
name
they
do
professe
/
they
must
be
gentle
/
shewyng
all
myldenes
not
onely
vnto
honest
men
and
suche
as
haue
well
deserued
it
/
but
also
muste
be
obedyent
vnto
euery
man
.
To
good
men
bycause
they
deserue
it
/
to
yll
men
that
they
amende
/
and
agayne
that
they
haue
not
a
wors
opynion
of
our
beleue
/
yf
they
be
prouoked
and
angred
for
a
cause
.
Chrysten
charyte
suffreth
all
thynges
/
and
in
al
thynges
it
hath
good
hope
.
And
if
there
be
ony
such
yll
men
/
we
must
rather
pytye
them
,
then
abhorre
theym
.
And
therfore
we
shall
do
more
yf
we
call
to
remembraunce
that
we
were
somtyme
such
as
they
be
now
.
Let
vs
not
refuse
theym
by
cause
they
are
yll
lyuers
,
and
wycked
men
/
but
let
vs
helpe
the
best
that
we
can
/
that
they
cease
to
be
as
they
be
▪
and
begynne
to
be
lyke
vs
/
who
called
vs
from
our
blyndnesse
?
was
it
not
the
free
clemencie
or
swete
gentlenes
of
Chryst
And
that
same
gentlenes
of
chryste
may
chaunge
such
men
when
he
will
.
And
how
be
it
that
we
which
of
Iewes
be
made
chrysten
men
,
did
not
worshyp
Idolles
/
yet
we
were
afore
our
conuersyon
subiecte
to
great
vices
,
beyng
foles
/
iobedyent
/
erryng
/
geuen
to
diuerse
appetites
&
pleasures
/
ful
of
enui
,
ful
of
malice
,
grudgyng
&
hating
one
of
another
.
To
these
so
great
euylles
we
were
subiecte
euen
vnder
Moises
lawe
,
but
that
now
for
foles
&
dulheddes
we
be
made
sobre
&
wyse
/
that
for
rebelles
we
are
meke
and
treatable
/
for
men
errynge
/
hauyng
knowlege
of
the
trueth
/
for
the
seruantes
of
desyres
and
voluptuousnes
/
the
wyllynge
kepers
of
iustice
,
for
malycious
/
simple
&
curtes
/
for
enuious
/
glad
to
do
good
/
for
haters
,
wel
willyng
to
them
that
hate
vs
/
this
haue
we
not
neyther
by
moyses
lawe
nor
yet
by
our
owne
merites
,
but
by
that
free
goodnes
of
god
/
by
the
which
we
coueyte
that
all
yf
it
be
possible
sholde
reioyce
with
vs
in
a
commune
welfare
/
and
to
all
men
the
verite
of
the
gospell
may
shyne
,
as
it
hath
shined
to
vs
.
For
afore
lyke
blynde
men
we
were
styll
in
darkenes
as
they
,
but
now
sens
there
is
opened
by
the
lyght
of
the
gospell
/
how
great
the
goodnes
and
charyte
of
god
(
which
is
autour
of
our
helthe
)
is
to
all
men
/
then
at
the
last
we
gate
true
lyfe
after
that
we
had
put
away
the
darkenes
of
our
lyfe
that
we
led
afore
/
not
thrugh
the
obseruation
of
Moyses
law
/
in
whome
was
conteyned
a
maner
of
iustice
▪
but
yet
of
lytle
efficacye
to
geue
euerlastynge
lyfe
/
but
thrugh
the
free
mercye
of
god
.
For
by
the
holy
fonte
of
baptysme
we
were
regenerat
agayne
&
planted
in
Chryst
,
and
by
his
spirite
being
renewed
we
haue
ceased
to
be
carnall
and
begonne
to
be
spirituall
.
Therfore
what
so
euer
we
be
/
we
are
holy
bounde
to
hym
for
it
,
which
in
to
vs
nothynge
deseruynge
it
/
shed
aboundantly
his
spyryte
/
which
the
law
coulde
not
geue
.
And
by
Iesu
Chryste
he
shed
his
spyryte
in
to
vs
,
by
whom
it
hathe
pleased
him
to
geue
vs
all
thynges
/
that
we
being
purged
by
his
benefite
,
from
our
olde
synnes
shold
enforce
by
good
workes
to
be
made
apte
to
take
the
enherytaunce
of
immortall
lyfe
.
Of
the
which
the
doctrine
of
the
gospell
maketh
vs
to
haue
sure
hope
.
Sens
that
we
then
were
ones
myserable
/
and
by
the
onely
aboundante
mercy
of
god
deleuered
from
synne
now
hope
for
the
crowne
of
euerlasting
lyfe
we
must
haue
pyty
on
other
/
and
go
aboute
by
all
meanes
that
god
also
may
haue
mercye
on
theym
.
Let
a
chrysten
bysshop
in
stede
of
iewes
fables
tel
these
thynges
to
the
people
,
for
they
be
certeyne
&
without
doubte
.
There
remayneth
nothyng
more
for
vs
to
do
/
but
that
in
our
liuing
we
may
remember
the
benefyte
of
god
and
lyue
accordyng
to
his
pleasure
/
or
elles
the
professyon
of
chrystendome
&
the
gospell
wyll
nothyng
auayle
vs
.
wherfore
I
wyl
that
thou
assure
all
men
of
these
thynges
whiche
greatly
longe
to
the
purpose
&
confyrm
them
therin
also
/
that
thei
which
ones
haue
beleued
in
god
/
that
by
his
free
mercifulnes
they
haue
ben
redemed
fro
theyr
synnes
/
&
that
he
will
gyue
the
croune
of
euerlastyng
life
to
all
them
which
by
vertuous
and
godly
lyuyng
do
study
to
folow
as
nere
as
thei
are
able
Iesu
Chryst
/
that
they
I
say
which
haue
this
beleue
so
lede
ouer
theyr
lyfe
that
it
maye
seme
accordynge
to
our
professyon
&
not
vnworthy
so
greate
promyssys
of
god
.
Now
they
shall
declare
them selfe
to
be
very
christen
men
/
not
if
they
curse
or
say
yll
by
the
gentyles
&
iewes
/
but
yf
they
be
beneficiall
&
gentle
to
all
men
/
&
by
the
affection
that
they
haue
to
pyty
/
they
reioyse
to
helpe
euery
body
.
For
these
thinges
shall
not
onely
ornate
&
commend
the
professyon
of
the
christen
beleue
/
as
thynges
of
theym selfe
honest
/
but
also
profitable
to
draw
other
to
Chryste
&
to
helpe
other
whiche
be
oppressed
with
ony
calamyte
.
The
chefe
poynt
of
chrystentye
is
to
do
good
to
all
men
/
and
by
benefites
wylde
bestes
be
ouercome
&
made
tame
&
gentle
.
Thou
shalt
therfore
on
this
maner
speke
&
preache
of
these
thynges
not
makynge
ony
doubte
as
thei
do
which
redacte
all
thinges
in
to
questyons
and
seme
to
haue
nothyng
perfyghtly
to
them
assured
/
but
teache
them
with
greate
confydence
of
countenaunce
with
greate
stedfastnes
of
wordes
/
that
all
men
may
well
perceyue
&
vnderstonde
that
thou
art
well
assured
of
that
whiche
thou
doest
labour
to
perswade
to
other
men
/
that
oute
of
these
commeth
the
frute
of
vertuous
lyuynge
.
But
folysshe
and
vnconnynge
questyons
and
tangled
or
intrycate
genealogyes
and
contencyous
or
brawlyng
dysputations
or
rather
warre
vpon
Moyses
law
/
whiche
some
folowyng
the
trade
of
iewes
styrre
vp
and
moue
to
get
them
therby
a
name
&
aduauntage
/
cast
them
away
as
superfluous
&
vnprofytable
to
the
liuyng
after
the
gospell
.
For
what
hurteth
it
to
good
lyuynge
yf
I
know
not
/
why
Moyses
graue
can
no
where
be
found
/
whether
it
be
as
the
iewes
say
that
he
shold
be
called
vp
agayne
by
magiciens
?
How
many
yeres
Matusale
lyued
?
what
age
Salamon
was
of
,
when
he
begat
Roboam
?
why
Moyses
dyd
forbed
to
eate
the
flesshe
of
swyne
?
why
the
iewes
do
suppose
that
the
blode
of
a
wesell
must
with
so
greate
care
be
purged
/
&
other
thynges
they
moue
doubtes
vpon
,
which
be
yet
more
folyshe
then
these
.
In
the
expoundyng
wherof
what
neadeth
him
to
tary
whiche
hasteth
to
the
rewarde
of
good
and
vertuous
lyuing
.
These
thinges
must
rather
be
cut
away
then
declared
.
And
thei
which
professe
them
as
excellent
thynges
must
be
blamed
and
byd
to
holde
theyr
peace
and
not
disputed
with
all
.
If
thei
erre
by
symplenes
/
when
they
are
admonysshed
they
wyll
amend
.
But
if
they
do
amysse
by
stubberne
and
obstacle
malyce
/
for
a
name
or
lucre
or
ony
other
foule
cause
/
then
wyll
they
be
redye
also
to
defend
as
well
false
thynges
as
trwe
.
Such
men
when
thou
hast
ones
or
twyse
rebuked
them
/
yf
they
cease
not
/
exchew
theym
as
men
faccyous
and
incurable
/
lest
they
maye
do
more
,
when
they
be
prouoked
/
then
they
wolde
yf
they
were
let
alone
as
men
not
regarded
/
yea
&
left
to
/
by
such
eggyng
and
styrryng
of
theym
▪
it
myght
come
to
daunger
/
that
such
which
cannot
be
amended
,
might
by
dysputations
when
thei
are
prouoked
draw
theyr
admonytour
into
the
same
errour
.
And
what
auaileth
it
to
geue
ony
more
medycynes
when
there
is
no
longar
hope
of
recouerynge
.
An
errour
commyng
but
onely
by
the
fragilite
of
man
,
is
remedyed
by
one
or
two
warnynges
but
malyce
is
icurable
,
and
made
wors
,
by
putting
to
of
ony
remedyes
.
And
therfore
he
that
beyng
ones
or
twyse
rebuked
contine
with
neuertheles
to
bide
stife
in
his
opynyon
/
let
hym
alone
in
his
froward
mynde
a
man
quite
ouerturned
and
remedyles
.
Nor
it
neadeth
not
the
to
labour
to
condempne
hym
/
sythen
he
is
by
his
owne
iudgement
condempned
.
Yf
he
perische
/
he
is
lost
&
cast
away
by
his
owne
faute
.
For
he
hathe
no
such
bukler
to
hold
afore
him
.
I
erred
by
ignorance
/
no
man
warned
me
.
For
what
can
one
do
to
a
syk
man
/
that
wyll
take
no
medycyne
/
peraduenture
yf
he
be
despysed
&
neglect
/
he
wyll
wex
wyser
/
yf
he
wyll
not
/
yet
the
fewer
that
resorte
to
hym
/
the
fewer
shall
the
contagyousnes
of
his
disease
infecte
.
I
wold
fayn
haue
you
with
me
a
few
dayes
.
But
I
wold
that
it
sholde
not
be
to
the
damages
/
of
the
christen
congregations
in
Crete
whiche
haue
ben
but
of
late
conuerted
to
the
trew
fayth
,
and
therfore
they
haue
the
more
neade
of
a
diligent
hed
/
which
may
builde
vpon
the
fundations
now
layed
.
Se
therfore
that
thou
mete
with
me
at
Nycopole
/
but
not
afore
that
I
send
either
Artemas
or
Tichtcus
thyder
to
be
there
for
the
in
my
stede
,
lest
thy
deptyng
sholde
leue
Crete
destytute
&
as
an
Orpheline
.
Thou
shalt
not
nede
to
feare
that
I
wolde
in
the
meane
tyme
go
any
where
els
&
so
thou
sholdest
lese
thy
laboure
/
For
I
am
purposed
all
this
next
winter
to
be
at
Nycopole
which
is
a
citie
of
the
contre
of
Thrace
.
when
zeno
which
was
sometyme
a
professour
of
Moyses
law
/
&
now
a
noble
preacher
of
the
gospell
.
And
Apollo
whiche
is
a
man
greatly
aproued
in
the
doctryne
of
Chryst
wyll
depart
from
thens
bryng
them
forward
with
all
the
humanytye
that
maye
be
.
And
se
they
lak
nothynge
that
shall
be
necessarye
for
theyr
iorney
.
Yf
these
offices
of
humanytie
be
done
of
the
gentyles
/
that
they
will
for
good
maners
sake
bring
him
forwarde
yf
he
haue
deserued
it
/
and
geue
hym
sufficiently
at
his
departyng
vitayles
&
other
necesaries
to
his
iorney
.
I
thynke
it
very
ryght
that
our
men
also
/
whiche
knowlege
them selfe
to
be
christen
men
sholde
lerne
to
vse
suche
gentylnes
/
and
to
geue
due
thankes
to
them
that
haue
well
deserued
them
/
not
that
they
sholde
by
theyr
lyberalyte
make
them
ryche
/
but
that
they
gyue
them
suche
thynges
as
be
necessarye
for
theyr
liuyng
,
when
nede
shall
be
.
For
it
is
not
conuenyent
that
sythen
they
whiche
be
alyenat
from
Chryste
/
be
yet
taught
of
nature
to
geue
thankes
to
them
of
whome
they
haue
ben
holpen
with
ony
benefite
:
christen
men
sholde
be
baren
and
vnfrutfull
to
them
of
whome
they
haue
receiued
ony
good
turne
.
As
many
as
be
here
with
me
commende
them
to
the.
Do
thou
againe
commend
me
there
to
as
many
as
loue
me
not
with
no
worldly
affection
,
but
with
euangelycall
&
chrysten
charyte
/
whiche
the
commune
professyon
of
fayth
doth
gendre
in
vs
.
The
fre
benefycence
of
goodnes
of
god
be
alwayes
with
vs
all
.
Amen
.
