THese
wordes
ben
writen
in
the
gospel
/
redde
in
the
church
this
quinquagesime
sondaye
.
They
may
thus

Open

/
thy

In
this
gospell
saynt
Luke
telleth
a
miracle
/
the
whiche
our
sauiour
dyd
shewe
vpon
a
blynde
man
.
He
sayth
/
that
a
blynde
man
syttynge
nigh
to
the
waye
/
herde
a
noyse
of
people
passyng
forby
/
and
enquired
what
that
was
.
It
was
tolde
hym
/
that
Jesus
of
Nazareth
passed
that
waye
.
He
gaue
faith
vnto
this
worde
/
and
cried
for
mercy
/
sayeng
:
Jesu
the
sonne
of
Dauid
haue
mercy
vpon
me
.
Part
of
this
people
went
before
our
sauiour
in
the
waye
/
and
part
came
after
hym
.
They
that
went
before
(
as
the
gospel
sayth
)
rebuked
the
blynde
man
/
and
he
moche
rather
cried
for
mercy
/
sayeng
:
The
son
of
Dauid
haue
mercy
vpon
me
.
Our
sauiour
standyng
/
commaunded
this
man
to
be
brought
vnto
hym
.
And
whan
he
was
brought
to
his
presence
/
our
sauiour
asked
hym
what
he
wolde
.
O
syr
sayd
this
man
/
that
I
myght
haue
my
syght
agayne
.
Than
dyd
our
sauiour
this
miracle
vpon
hym
/
and
sayd
these
wordes
aboue
rehersed
:
Respice
/
fides
tua
te
saluum
fecit
:
Open
thyn
eies
/
thy
faith
hath
made
the
safe
.
And
forth
with
this
blynde
man
was
restored
to
his
sight
/
and
folowed
our
sauiour
in
the
way
with
the
other
people
.
¶
By
this
worde
and
other
suche
/
Martyn
Luther
hath
taken
occasion
of
many
great
errours
:
wher
by
he
hath
blynded
many
a
christen
soule
/
and
brought
them
out
of
the
way
/
sayeng
/
that
onely
faythe
doth
iustifie
vs
/
and
suffiseth
to
our
saluation
.
Wherby
many
one
litell
regardeth
any
good
workes
/
but
onely
resteth
vnto
fayth
.
This
gospell
therfor
may
sufficiently
instructe
any
reasonable
man
/
what
fayth
suffiseth
/
and
what
nat
:
For
it
maruelously
perteyneth
to
this
purpose
/
if
we
with
any
diligence
obserue
and
marke
euery
mistery
therof
.
Fyrste
let
vs
considre
this
multitude
in
it selfe
/
where
many
wente
before
our
sauiour
Jesu
/
and
many
folowed
after
:
and
he
in
the
myddys
of
them
all
.
Tho
that
went
before
hym
betoken
vnto
vs
/
the
fathers
and
the
people
of
the
olde
testament
/
the
whiche
dyd
passe
the
course
of
this
worlde
before
the
byrthe
of
our
sauioure
Christe
:
tho
that
folowed
after
/
do
signifye
the
fathers
&
the
people
of
the
newe
testamennt
/
the
whiche
succeded
the
byrthe
of
Christ
.
Both
these
make
but
one
people
:
For
they
be
al
of
one
faythe
.
Tho
that
went
before
beleued
that
Christe
shuld
comme
in
to
this
worlde
/
and
dye
for
man
.
Tho
that
folowe
/
beleue
that
Christe
is
comme
/
and
hath
suffered
his
dethe
for
man
.
Neuer
the
lesse
in
some
poyntes
there
is
difference
betwene
these
two
:
For
they
were
vnder
the
lawe
of
Moyses
/
whiche
was
a
lawe
of
drede
/
and
of
rygour
/
as
saynt
Paule
saythe
vnto
the
Hebrewes
:
Irritan●
quis
faciens
legem
Mosy
/
sine
vlla
miseratione
/
duovus
aut
trivus
testibus
moriatur
:
who
that
hath
broken
the
lawe
of
Moyses
/
if
he
were
conuinced
by
two
or
thre
wytnesses
/
he
without
any
mercy
shulde
dye
.
And
in
token
herof
it
is
sayde
of
them
that
wente
before
:
Et
qui
preibant
/
increpabant
eum
:
And
tho
that
wente
before
/
rebuked
the
blynde
man
/
that
cried
for
mercy
.
But
tho
that
folowed
Christ
were
and
be
vnder
the
lawe
of
grace
and
marcy
.
For
whan
our
sauiour
was
borne
in
to
this
world
/
all
grace
and
mercy
came
with
hym
.
And
therfore
to
shewe
a
difference
of
these
two
people
/
saynt
Johan
sayth
:
Lex
per
Moysen
data
est
/
gratia
et
veritas
per
Jesum
Christum
exorta
est
:
That
is
to
saye
/
the
lawe
was
gyuen
vnto
that
people
by
Moyses
:
but
grace
and
trewe
perfourmance
of
al
promysses
rose
vnto
vs
by
our
sauiour
Christe
.
All
thynges
was
shewed
vnto
that
people
by
figures
and
shadowes
/
as
saynt
Paule
sayth
:
Omnia
in
figura
contingebant
illis
.
Tyll
vs
(
that
succede
the
commynge
of
our
sauiour
)
the
same
thynges
be
disclosed
and
made
open
.
And
good
reason
why
.
For
they
that
folowe
a
lyght
se
more
clerely
by
that
lyght
/
than
they
that
go
before
.
That
people
myght
nat
well
and
easely
beare
the
weyght
and
strayte
commandmentes
/
the
whiche
were
leyde
vpon
their
shoulders
.
And
therfore
saynt
Peter
in
the
Actis
of
the
apostles
:
Neque
nos
/
neque
patres
nostri
portare
potuimus
:
The
burthen
of
the
lawe
of
Moyses
was
so
heuy
/
that
neither
we
nor
our
fathers
myght
susteyne
them
.
But
nowe
to
vs
the
lawes
of
sauiour
Christe
be
made
easy
by
the
abundance
of
grace
/
and
by
the
dulcenes
of
loue
/
whiche
the
holy
gost
hath
put
in
our
hartes
/
as
saint
Paule
saith
:
Charitas
dei
diffusa
est
in
cordibus
nostris
per
spiritum
sanctum
/
qui
datus
est
nobis
:
that
is
say
/
the
loue
of
god
is
spredde
in
our
hartes
by
the
holy
gost
/
the
whiche
is
gyuen
vnto
vs
.
And
this
is
a
great
preeminence
that
we
haue
aboue
that
people
.
This
multitude
that
foloweth
Christ
in
the
way
/
and
is
in
passage
/
is
the
succession
of
Christis
churche
/
whiche
hath
contynued
and
shall
continue
vnto
the
worldes
ende
/
euen
like
a
floode
that
passeth
continually
/
the
waters
go
&
passe
/
but
yet
the
floode
continueth
/
and
reteyneth
styl
the
name
of
the
floode
:
so
the
succession
of
Christis
churche
euer
continueth
/
&
is
called
the
churche
catholike
/
though
the
people
yerely
renewe
.
Thus
moche
than
I
haue
said
for
this
multitude
/
amonge
whiche
our
sauiour
Christe
was
.
Nowe
let
vs
also
briefely
consydre
/
what
this
blynde
man
dothe
meane
and
signifie
.
This
man
doth
betoken
vnto
vs
the
heretickes
/
and
that
for
.
iiij
.
conditions
aboue
rehersed
in
this
gospell
.
And
here
my
bretherne
/
ye
that
nowe
be
abiured
take
hede
.
Fyrst
here
I
say
that
this
man
was
singular
by
hym selfe
:
and
so
the
heretikes
studie
to
be
singular
in
theyr
opinions
.
Singularite
and
pride
is
the
Seconde
.
this
man
was
blynde
/
and
had
lost
his
sight
.
And
the
heretikes
/
by
the
errour
of
false
doctrines
and
of
ꝑuersed
heresies
/
be
blyded
in
theyr
hartes
/
and
haue
nat
the
clere
light
of
faithe
.
Thyrde
.
this
man
sate
out
of
the
right
way
/
and
walked
nat
:
And
so
lyke
wise
these
heretikes
sytte
out
of
the
right
waye
/
and
walke
nat
in
the
iourney
towarde
heuen
.
Fourth
.
this
man
was
deuided
from
this
people
/
amonge
whom
Christe
Jesu
was
:
And
so
be
the
heretikes
like
wise
:
they
be
deuided
from
the
churche
of
Christe
/
with
whom
our
sauiour
Christe
continueth
vnto
the
worldes
ende
.
Thus
ye
perceyue
I
suppose
/
that
this
man
(
whiche
was
singular
/
●
blynde
/
and
sate
out
of
the
way
/
deuided
from
Christe
for
these
.
iiij
.
conditions
)
representeth
the
heretikes
.
¶
In
the
thyrde
place
we
may
by
this
easily
conceyue
/
what
great
diuersite
is
betwene
the
churche
catholike
and
the
heretikes
.
Fyrste
/
they
that
be
of
this
multitude
/
and
of
the
churche
catholike
/
they
be
of
one
mynde
and
opinion
/
concernyng
the
substance
of
our
faith
/
to
agre
to gether
in
one
doctrine
.
The
heretikes
be
singular
/
and
haue
opinions
by
them selfe
:
and
they
be
repugnant
nat
onely
with
the
churche
/
but
with
them selfe
amonge
them selfe
/
as
we
shall
shewe
here
after
.
It
is
a
very
trouth
that
one
wise
man
hath
sayde
:
Omne
verum
omni
vero
consonat
/
falsum
autem
tam
a
se
ipso
quam
ab
ipsa
veritate
discrepat
:
Euery
trouth
agreeth
with
other
:
but
falshod
is
both
repugnant
ageynst
hym selfe
&
ageynst
the
trouth
.
Secunde
.
The
churche
is
in
the
clere
brightnes
of
faith
.
The
heretikes
be
blynded
by
theyr
false
&
erronious
opinions
.
For
as
trouthe
gyueth
a
light
and
a
brightnes
/
so
falsehode
blyndeth
/
and
bryngeth
in
to
derkenes
.
Thyrde
.
The
churche
is
in
the
right
way
.
The
heretikes
be
out
of
the
right
way
.
Forthe
.
The
churche
walketh
and
profiteth
in
their
iourney
towarde
the
countre
of
heuen
.
The
heretikes
sitte
in
Cathedra
pestisentie
/
in
the
seate
of
pestilence
/
and
profete
nothynge
in
this
iourney
/
but
rather
synkethe
depper
and
depper
towarde
the
pytte
of
hell
.
Fyfte
.
the
churche
hath
in
it
the
presence
of
Chrste
/
and
shal
haue
continually
vnto
the
worldes
ende
:
The
heretikes
be
deuided
frome
Christe
in
this
present
tyme
/
and
so
finally
shal
be
excluded
from
the
sight
of
his
face
for
euer
.
All
these
fyue
differences
be
so
manifest
in
this
gospell
/
that
we
nede
nat
moche
decleration
for
the
same
.
¶
Nowe
in
the
fourth
place
let
vs
discusse
/
howe
this
blynde
man
was
restored
vnto
his
sight
:
to
th
entent
that
we
maye
perceyue
howe
an
heretike
Fyrst
he
hering
and
inquiryng
the
very
trouth
of
that
multitude
/
whiche
passed
forby
:
Audiuit
turbam
pretereuntem
/
et
interrogauit
/
quid
hoc
esset
:
He
herde
the
people
whiche
was
in
passage
/
and
of
them
he
lerned
what
Jesus
of
Nazareth
was
.
So
must
heretikes
do
/
if
he
wyll
be
restored
vnto
the
true
faith
.
For
no
where
the
true
doctryne
of
Jesu
can
be
lerned
/
but
in
the
churche
.
Here
must
the
worde
of
god
be
lerned
.
And
this
is
wonderfully
expressed
in
this
gospell
by
mistery
.
It
is
certayne
that
the
people
of
the
Jewes
/
whan
that
Manhu
was
sent
vnto
them
from
aboue
/
&
they
sawe
it
in
the
lykenes
of
the
corriander
sede
/
they
made
this
same
question
/
whiche
this
blynde
man
nowe
dothe
aske
:
Quid
hoc
?
what
is
that
.
And
of
this
question
that
sede
toke
this
name
/
and
was
called
Manhu
.
Nowe
Manhu
betokeneth
in
figure
the
worde
of
god
.
Who
therfore
so
euer
wyll
lerne
the
trewe
doctryne
of
the
worde
of
god
/
he
muste
enquire
it
of
this
multitude
/
that
walketh
in
the
right
waye
:
that
is
to
say
/
of
the
churche
catholike
.
Doutles
out
of
the
churche
this
trouth
can
nat
be
lerned
.
Seconde
.
this
blynde
man
cried
for
mercy
:
so
muste
the
heretike
do
:
he
must
beseche
our
sauiour
Christ
to
enlighten
his
harte
by
clere
faith
/
&
to
remoue
from
his
hart
the
blyndnes
of
all
errours
&
heresye
.
Thyrde
.
our
sauiour
dyd
commande
that
this
blynde
man
shulde
be
brought
vnto
hym
:
And
so
must
the
heretikes
be
reduced
vnto
the
wayes
of
the
churche
.
But
by
whom
commaundeth
our
sauiour
/
that
thus
they
shall
be
reduced
?
truely
by
them
that
be
set
in
spiritual
auctorite
:
as
nowe
that
most
reuerent
fader
i
god
my
lorde
Legate
/
hauyng
this
most
souerayne
auctorite
/
hath
endeuored
hym selfe
for
these
men
here
present
/
&
other
/
whiche
were
out
of
the
way
/
to
reduce
them
in
to
the
wayes
of
the
churche
.
The
heretikes
contende
/
that
it
shal
nat
belefull
thus
to
do
:
but
they
wold
haue
euery
man
lefte
vnto
theyr
libertie
.
But
doutles
it
may
nat
be
so
:
For
the
nature
of
man
is
more
prone
to
all
noughtynes
/
rather
than
to
any
goodnes
.
And
therfore
many
muste
be
compelled
/
accordyng
as
the
gospel
sayth
in
an
other
place
:
Compellite
eos
intrare
.
If
euery
man
shuld
haue
libertie
to
say
what
he
wolde
/
we
shuld
haue
a
meruelous
worlde
.
No
man
shulde
stere
any
where
for
heresies
.
And
therfore
saynt
Paule
consideryng
the
pronytie
of
mans
harte
to
be
infected
with
heresies
/
gyueth
often
warnynge
/
that
we
shall
in
any
wyse
eschewe
the
perillous
infections
of
these
heretikes
.
And
the
same
saynt
Paule
often
pronunceth
excommunication
ageynst
them
that
sowe
this
puersed
doctrines
amonge
the
Christen
people
.
Wherfore
it
is
nat
lefull
that
any
man
shall
haue
libertie
to
speke
in
these
matters
concernyng
our
fayth
/
what
so
euer
that
he
liste
:
but
he
must
be
compelled
to
conforme
hym
vnto
the
holsome
doctryne
of
the
churche
.
Fourth
this
blynde
man
/
whan
he
was
brought
vnto
our
sauiour
/
yet
had
he
nat
his
syght
vnto
than
he
dyd
fully
assent
with
his
holle
wyl
vnto
the
same
.
And
to
that
purpose
our
sauiour
asked
hym
what
he
wolde
:
Quid
vis
vt
faciam
tibi
?
And
so
made
hym
to
confesse
his
full
assent
.
Thus
must
the
heretike
do
that
wyl
haue
his
spirituall
sight
:
he
muste
fully
assent
vnto
the
doctrine
of
Christis
churche
.
He
may
be
compelled
to
come
bodily
/
but
if
he
come
nat
also
with
the
feete
of
his
soule
/
and
fully
assent
vnto
the
churche
:
he
can
nat
haue
this
trewe
faith
.
The
faith
of
the
churche
is
nat
made
our
faith
/
but
by
our
assent
:
whiche
assent
cometh
of
vs
/
and
is
the
wombe
of
our
soule
.
And
therfore
it
is
nat
absolutely
saide
/
fides
but
fides
tua
:
That
is
to
say
/
thy
faith
.
The
faith
of
the
churche
(
whiche
by
thyne
assent
is
made
thy
faith
)
doth
make
the
safe
.
In
the
fyfte
and
the
last
place
/
as
touchyng
Martyn
Luthers
opinion
of
faith
/
nowe
wyll
I
speks
some
what
.
To
reherse
his
reasons
/
and
so
w●ade
in
this
matter
with
them
/
it
were
inough
for
all
holle
daye
.
Neither
the
tyme
wyll
serue
it
nowe
/
nor
yet
the
people
can
attayne
to
the
conceyuyng
of
it
.
But
I
shall
breuely
say
.
iij.
thynges
.
The
fyrst
is
this
.
Luther
sore
abuseth
and
discey
Seconde
.
why
dothe
Luther
deny
that
the
workes
do
nat
iustify
vs
?
His
reason
is
this
.
He
saith
bycause
they
be
our
workes
:
and
what
so
euer
reyseth
from
vs
/
it
is
but
synne
.
Than
let
hym
obserue
these
wordis
:
Fides
tua
.
Our
sauiour
saith
/
nat
only
Fides
/
but
Fides
tua
.
Thy
faith
(
a
trouth
it
is
)
is
the
gyfte
of
god
:
but
it
is
nat
made
my
faith
/
nor
thy
faith
/
nor
his
faith
/
as
I
sayd
before
/
but
by
our
assent
.
By
our
assent
faith
(
whiche
cometh
from
aboue
)
is
made
ours
.
But
our
assent
is
playnly
our
worke
.
wherfore
at
the
least
one
worke
of
ours
ioyneth
with
faith
to
our
iusti●ienge
.
Thyrde
.
saynt
Paule
in
the
epistole
this
daye
/
playnly
condemneth
this
opinion
:
for
he
sayth
/
that
faith
/
hope
/
&
charite
be
.
iij.
diuerse
thinges
:
Fides
/
spes
/
et
charitas
/
tria
hec
:
These
be
.
iij.
diuerse
thynges
/
faith
/
hope
/
&
charite
.
He
sayth
further
:
Si
habuero
oninem
fidem
/
ita
vt
montes
trasferam
/
charitatem
a●tem
non
habuero
/
nihil
sum
:
If
I
had
all
and
euery
faith
/
so
that
I
myght
by
my
faith
remoue
any
great
mountayne
:
yet
if
I
haue
nat
charite
/
I
am
nought
.
wherfore
if
a
man
haue
al
maner
of
faith
/
and
wanteth
charite
/
he
is
neuer
the
more
iustyfyed
.
Withoutten
charite
therfore
no
man
can
be
iustified
:
but
who
that
hath
charite
/
hath
also
good
workes
:
as
the
same
saynt
Paule
also
proueth
at
length
in
the
same
Epistole
.
Wherfore
withouten
good
workes
/
either
done
/
or
in
a
full
wyll
to
be
done
/
no
man
can
be
fully
iustified
.
And
for
this
saint
Paule
in
the
Epistole
ad
Romanes
expresseth
/
what
faith
doth
iustifie
a
man
.
Fides
(
he
sayth
)
que
per
dilectionem
operatur
:
that
is
to
say
/
faith
whiche
worketh
by
loue
/
and
that
is
by
loue
pregnant
with
good
workes
.
Finally
for
a
more
clerenesse
of
these
wordes
/
we
shall
considre
.
iij.
maner
of
persones
:
one
of
them
that
be
in
the
way
/
an
other
of
them
that
be
nigh
vnto
the
way
/
thyrde
is
of
them
that
be
farre
out
of
the
way
:
and
eche
of
these
haue
a
byleue
.
The
Turke
beleueth
in
god
/
and
parauenture
more
constantly
than
many
christen
men
do
:
but
he
beleueth
nat
in
Christe
the
sonne
of
god
:
nor
vpon
the
doctryne
of
the
churche
:
whiche
doutles
was
inspired
by
the
holy
goste
.
And
therfore
his
faith
is
nat
sufficient
:
he
is
very
farre
out
of
the
way
.
The
hereticke
beleueth
in
god
and
in
Christe
:
and
therfore
he
is
one
degre
nerer
vnto
the
right
way
/
than
the
turke
is
:
he
sytteth
by
the
high
way
syde
:
but
yet
his
faith
is
nat
sufficient
:
For
he
doth
nat
assent
vnto
the
doctryne
of
the
churche
:
whiche
is
inspired
by
the
holy
goste
.
Ye
herde
by
the
gospel
/
that
the
blynde
man
(
whan
he
sate
out
out
of
the
high
way
)
beleued
in
Christe
for
he
sayd
/
Jesufi●●
Dauid
miserere
me●
:
Jesu
the
sonne
of
Dauid
haue
mercy
vpon
me
.
By
these
wordes
it
appereth
that
he
beleued
he
was
both
god
and
man
.
God
in
that
that
he
might
restore
his
sight
:
man
in
that
/
that
he
called
hym
the
sonne
of
Dauid
.
But
yet
this
faith
gaue
hym
nat
his
sight
:
He
recouered
nat
his
sight
to
than
he
was
brought
vnto
the
way
/
and
ioyned
with
this
multitude
/
amonge
whom
Christe
Jesus
was
/
and
gaue
his
full
assent
.
So
the
hereticke
/
haue
he
neuer
so
moche
faith
of
god
and
of
Christe
/
if
he
be
nat
commyn
in
to
this
way
/
if
he
be
nat
ioyned
with
this
multitude
of
christen
people
/
if
he
be
nat
made
one
of
this
nombre
/
if
he
hath
nat
gyuen
his
ful
assent
vnto
the
doctryne
of
the
churche
catholicke
/
whiche
is
inspired
of
the
holy
goste
/
doutles
he
wanteth
the
sight
of
true
faith
.
But
whan
he
hath
fully
assented
to
bileue
in
god
the
father
/
and
in
Christe
Jesus
his
sonne
/
and
vpon
and
in
the
doctryne
of
the
churche
/
whiche
deuoutly
was
inspired
by
the
holy
goste
:
than
this
miracle
is
done
vpon
hym
.
He
is
restored
to
the
sight
of
clere
faith
.
This
is
the
faith
good
bretherne
that
may
make
you
safe
/
and
restore
you
vnto
your
ꝑfet
sight
.
And
therfore
if
ye
haue
this
faith
/
I
may
say
nowe
to
eche
of
you
:
Respice
/
fides
tua
te
fasuum
fecit
:
Open
thyne
eies
/
thy
faith
hath
made
the
safe
.
It
is
nat
the
faithe
that
the
turke
hath
/
nor
the
faith
that
the
heretike
hath
/
but
the
faith
catholicke
of
Christis
churche
that
shal
saue
the
:
whiche
faith
is
made
thy
faith
/
if
thou
truly
come
vnto
the
right
way
/
if
thou
fastly
ioyne
thy selfe
with
the
churche
catholicke
/
if
thou
entierly
make
thy selfe
one
of
this
nombre
/
if
thou
vprightly
walke
by
good
workes

/
if
thou
frely
and
fully
assent
vnto
the
commen
doctrine
of
this
multitude
/
amonge
whom
Christe
Jesu
is
.
And
to
th
entent
that
your

maye
be
the
more
clered
in
this
faith
/
I
shal

to
all

of

it
shall
appere
(
as
I

)
that

The
fyrste
collection
FOr
a
more
strengthynge
of
these
collections
/
we
shal
adioyne
vnto
this
miracle
a
parable
of
our
sauiour
Christe
/
which
●●
the
same
euangelist
saynt
Lu●e
telleth
in
this
maner
.
The
sower
(
he
saith
)
went
forth
to
sowe
his
sede
/
and
in
the
sowyng
some
part
of
his
sede
fell
nigh
vnto
the
high
way
/
and
so
was
trodden
vpon
:
and
the
byrdes
of
the
ayer
dyd
eate
vp
this
sede
.
An other
parte
fell
vpon
the
stones
/
whiche
was
couered
over
with
a
litell
erthe
/
and
so
the
sede
dyd
sprowre
:
but
whan
it
was
sprowted
/
it
myght
take
no
roote
for
the
hardnes
and
drynes
of
the
stones
/
but
anone
withered
for
lacke
of
moysture
.
A
thyrde
part
fell
amonge
the
thornes
:
and
this
sede
rooted
and
rose
vp
a
littel
:
but
the
thornes
ouer
grewe
it
/
and
so
dyd
suffocate
it
/
that
it
myght
brynge
forthe
no
frute
.
The
fourth
parte
fell
vpon
the
good
erthe
/
and
sprowted
/
and
toke
roote
/
and
shote
vp
/
and
brought
forth
great
increase
of
frute
/
an
hundred
folde
so
moche
.
Whan
our
sauiour
had
spoke
this
parable
/
he
cried
mightily
/
sayeng
:
Om
havet
autes
audiendi
/
audiat
:
who
that
hath
the
inwarde
eares
of
heryng
/
let
hym
here
and
marke
this
parable
.
In
this
parable
we
shall
note
.
iiij
.
thynges
:
and
of
them
/
by
the
leaue
of
all
myghty
god
/
we
shall
gether
as
many
collections
.
Of
these
.
iiij
.
thynges
/
the
fyrst
is
the
sower
/
the
seconde
is
the
sede
/
the
thyrde
is
the
good
erthe
/
the
fourth
is
the
great
encreace
of
frute
.
All
these
.
iiij
.
thynges
vnder
other
names
be
conteyned
in
the
gospell
of
the
miracle
.
There
our
sauiour
is
redy
to
take
away
the
blyndnes
of
our
hartes
.
●here
is
he
called
a
sower
of
his
sede
.
The
multitude
there
enstructeth
the
blynde
man
where
Jesus
of
Nazareth
is
/
&
enfurmeth
hym
in
the
doctrine
of
faith
.
He
/
or
the
same
doctrine
is
called
the
sede
of
the
worde
of
god
.
That
multitude
/
which
ther
hath
Christ
amonge
them
/
here
is
called
the
good
erthe
.
There
the
multitude
ꝓfiteth
in
merite
/
by
walkyng
&
nigh
approching
vnto
our
sauiour
Christe
:
here
this
merite
is
called
the
plenteous
encreace
of
good
frute
.
Fyrst
than
as
concernyng
the
sower
/
some
person
might
Fyrst
this
sower
(
as
I
haue
sayde
)
is
the
sonne
of
god
▪
our
sauiour
Christe
Jesu
:
and
he
is
the
very
spirituall
sonne
of
this
worlde
/
Qui
illuminat
omne
hominem
venientem
in
hunc
mundum
/
That
spreadeth
his
comfortable
beames
vpon
the
soules
of
men
.
He
issued
out
from
the
bosome
of
his
father
/
and
came
in
to
this
worlde
purposely
to
sowe
in
the
hartes
of
men
the
sede
of
trouth
.
He
it
is
that
soweth
his
owne
sede
.
The
preachers
of
this
word
be
nothyng
els
/
but
as
the
cophyns
and
the
hoppers
/
wherin
this
sede
is
couched
.
Thus
saint
Augustine
sayth
of
hym selfe
:
Ego
quid
sum
/
nisi
cophinus
seminatoris
▪
What
am
I
sayth
he
?
verily
nothyng
els
but
the
cophyne
/
or
the
hopper
of
hym
that
soweth
.
The
preacher
may
well
reherse
the
wordes
of
scripture
:
but
they
be
nat
his
wordes
/
they
be
the
wordes
of
Christe
.
And
if
our
sauiour
Christ
speke
nat
within
the
preacher
/
the
sede
shal
be
but
caste
in
vayne
.
Therfore
saint
Paule
sayth
vnto
the
Corrinthies
of
hym selfe
:
In
me
loquitur
Christus
:
Christe
sayth
Nowe
than
to
my
purpose
/
thus
farre
we
be
/
ye
nowe
conceyue
(
I
suppose
)
that
this
spirituall
sower
/
all
be
it
so
〈…〉
be
corporally
ascended
vnto
his
father
/
yet
neu●●thelesse
he
by
his
godhed
&
by
the
assistence
of
his
grace
/
hath
ben
euer
sens
veryly
presente
with
his
churche
/
to
sowe
therein
the
sede
of
his
worde
.
And
also
the
heuenly
influence
/
that
is
to
saye
/
the
influence
of
the
holy
gost
/
is
fauorably
spred
vpon
the
toward
&
well
wyllyng
hartes
/
to
th
entent
that
this
sede
may
brynge
forthe
a
plentuous
encrease
of
good
frute
/
and
in
this
gratious
purpose
they
both
/
I
say
bothe
the
sower
and
this
holy
spirite
/
haue
continued
/
and
wyll
so
continue
/
vnto
the
worldis
ende
.
Who
than
may
dout
/
but
in
this
longe
time
/
whiche
is
aboue
fyftene
hundred
yeres
/
the
true
sede
of
the
worde
of
god
/
that
is
to
say
the
scriptures
of
god
haue
bene
truely
taught
vnto
the
people
:
and
the
people
hath
truely
beleued
and
gyuen
true
faithe
vnto
the
same
doctryne
of
the
scriptures
?
Who
is
so
deuyllysshe
/
that
maye
thynke
that
our
sauiour
Christe
/
the
whiche
so
derely
beloued
his
churche
/
that
for
the
weale
of
hit
/
wolde
suffre
so
bytter
/
so
villaynous
/
so
horrible
a
deth●
▪
and
shede
his
mooste
precious
blode
in
the
cross●
▪
to
prepare
the
hartes
of
his
people
for
the
receyuyng
of
this
sede
?
I
saye
who
may
thynke
/
that
euer
he
/
that
dyd
so
moche
for
vs
/
wolde
breake
his
promyse
vnto
vs
?
And
if
he
haue
nat
broke
his
promyse
:
than
hath
he
ben
with
his
churche
all
this
longe
tyme
of
fyftene
hundred
yeres
:
and
hath
sowen
the
tre●●e
sede
of
his
worde
:
and
his
moste
holy
spirite
also
hath
bene
al
this
tyme
present
in
the
churche
:
and
hath
gyuen
vnto
the
towarde
hartes
his
gratious
influence
/
both
to
receyue
this
sede
/
and
also
to
brynge
forthe
plentuous
frute
.
¶
Nowe
than
/
if
this
sede
were
thus
truely
sowen
:
than
wolde
I
lerne
/
who
were
the
mynysters
of
this
trewe
sede
?
Who
but
the
preachers
of
this
worde
:
I
say
the
holy
doctours
/
whiche
taughte
the
people
:
and
to
whome
by
the
holy
spirite
was
commysedde
the
gouernaunce
of
the
flocke
of
Christe
/
as
saynt
Paule
sayth
in
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
:
Attendite
vobis
/
et
vniuerso
gregi
/
in
It
is
manifest
than
/
that
these
preachers
were
the
true
ministers
of
this
sede
.
It
is
also
nat
to
be
douted
/
but
the
true
christen
people
alwayes
hitherto
hath
gyuen
faithe
to
the
doctrine
of
the
catholicke
preachers
:
and
so
dyd
beleue
the
scriptures
as
they
dyd
expounde
them
/
that
were
in
tymes
paste
.
And
it
is
farther
more
certeyne
/
that
these
catholicke
doctours
ministred
this
sede
/
in
lyke
maner
as
they
haue
lefte
writen
vnto
vs
in
theyr
bokes
.
Wherfore
if
the
preachers
dyd
erre
in
teachynge
the
scriptures
of
god
:
the
people
dyd
erre
in
beleuyng
their
doctryne
.
And
if
bothe
the
preachers
and
the
people
dyd
erre
:
where
was
the
true
sowynge
of
this
sede
?
Where
was
the
doctryne
of
the
faithe
?
where
was
bicome
the
promyse
of
our
sauiour
Christ
?
O

O
moste
execrable
hereticke
that
denyest

all
the

For
in

denyeng

thou
must
nedes
affirme
/
that
neither
the
doctrine
of

faith
/
nor
any
trewe
sowyng
of
this
sede
was
in
the
churche
of
Christe
by
so
many
yeres
:
and
that
our
sauiour
Christe
Jesu
nothyng
regarded
his
promyse
all
this
long
tyme
/
either
as
concernyng
his
owne
presence
to
be
continually
with
his

concernyng
the

for
to
gyue
his

It
is
therfore
clere

If

For

Thyrde
.
the
holy
goste
is
the
spirite
of
lyfe
vnto
the
doctryne
of
the
churche
.
But
the
sprite
of
lyfe
can
nat
be
deuided
:
but
it
must
go
holle
:
As
we
se
that
whan
a
mannes
arme
is
cutte
from
his
body
/
the
lyfe
is
nat
deuided
/
parte

but
the
holle
lyfe
gothe

the
arme
hath
no
parte

So
for
bicause
that
Luther
by
his
intricate
expositions
maketh
one
parte
of
scripture
to
be
repugnant
agaynst
an
other
/
as
he
confesseth
hym selfe
/
that
he
can
nat
frame
his
other
expositions
with
the
Epistole
of
saynt
James
/
and
with
the
gospell
of

.
Therfore
it
is
manifest
▪
that
his

is
deuided
from
the
holle
corps
of
scripture
/
and
is
nat

with
the

nowe

Wherfore
ye
may
sufficiently
conclude

that
the

is
nat
the
gratious
sede
of
the
worde
of

/
nor
hath
in

The

seriously
commysed
his

to
be

Fourth
.
if
he
considre
/
that
the
true
christen
people
/
whiche
we
haue
at
this
day
/
was
deriuied
by
a
continuall
succession
from
the
see
of
Peter
.
For
where
is

the
christen
people
of
the
region
of
Scithia
/
whiche
came
of
the
succession
of
saynt
Andrewe
:
Be

Where

Where

/
whiche
came
of

succession
of
saynt
Mattheu
&
saynt
Mathye
?
Be
they

And
breuely
to
say
/
where
is
all
the
other
people
/
whiche
came
of
the
succession
of
the
other
apostles
?
either
they
nowe
be
infidels
/
or
els
schismatickes
/
or
other
wyse
deuided
from
the
churche

Christe
.
Fynally
/
if
he
put
vnto
these
/
that
onely
the
succession
of
Peter
in
dispite

al
their
ennemyes
dothe

continue
/

yet
beareth
the

veray
catholicke

so
shall
do

he
shall
se

that
this

is
the
veray
churche
of

:
agaynst
the
whiche

Thus
than
ye
se
whiche
is
the
good
erthe
:
I
say
the
multitude
of
christen
people
/
whiche
hitherto
by
a
continuall
succession
was
deriuied
from
the
see
of
Peter
.
But
nowe
let
vs
here
what
conditions
our
sauiour
The
seconde
condition
is
honesto
/
that
is
honeste
The
thyrde
condition

that
meaneth
the
The
fyrst
is
this
.
Qui

That
is
to
say
/
they
folowe
the
wayes
of
theyr
flesshe
/
&
walke
in
the
vnclene
disires
of
the
same
.
Thus
Luther
doth
withouten
doubt
and
they
all
/
whiche
be
of
his
secte
:
for
he
sayth
it
is
necessary
for
euery
man
and
woman
to
haue
the
carnall
vse
of
their
body
/
as
it
is
to
eate
or
to
drynke
.
But
where
this
carnalite
reigneth
/
there
the
wicked
spirites
haue
full
domination
:
and
there
they
kepe
their
haunte
/
and
make
that
soule
and
herte
as
commune
a
trodde
as
is
the
high
way
.
These
be
the
byrdes
of
the
ayre
/
whiche
eate
vp
the
sede
of
the
worde
of
god
:
they
leaue
nothynge
but
the
veray
hulle
of
that
sede
/
the
vertue
o●
it
they
conuey
away
.
The
fayre
speche
/
the
eloquece
/
the
knowlege
of
languages
/
these
be
but
the
veray
hulle
of
the
scriptures
.
This
hulle
these
heretickes
haue
:
But
the
veray
pithe
and
substance
of
the
sede
is
piked
out
of
theyr
hartes
by
these
euyll
spirites
/
that
kepe
them
in
this
carnalite
.
The
seconde
condition
is
.
Dominationem
contenmūt
audaces
/
prefracti
.
That
is
to
say
/
they
dispise
al
gouernours
/
and
them
that
be
in
auctorite
/
&
they
be
stiffe
&
heedy
in
their
wayes
:
be
nat
the
Lutherans
thus
?
who
is
more
styffe
/
yea
more
furious
than
Luther
is
?
For
he
dispiseth
kynges
/
princes
/
popes
/
bisshoppes
/
and
all
auctorite
both
spirituall
and
temporall
.
And
what
is
this
/
but
a
veray
stonynes
/
indurate
of
pride
and
obstynacie
?
The
thyrde
condition
is
this
.
Qui
gloria
precesientes
non
verentur
cōuitus
incessere
.
That
is
to
say
/
they
drede
nat
/
nor
be
a
shamed
to
skoffe
/
and
checke
/
and
to
rebuke
/
yea
to
teare
/
scratche
and
rente
the
fames
and
lyues
of
noble
men
.
And
this
the
Lutherans
also
do
/
and
Luther
hym selfe
principally
:
and
thus
they
shewe
them selfe
to
be
very
thornes
and
briers
/
whiche
/
as
the
gospell
sayth
/
doth
strangle
the
good
sede
.
Nowe
than
to
you
my
bretherne
/
whiche
be
abiured
/
I
must
direct
my
speche
.
For
as
moche
as
by
this
collection
ye
perceyue
/
that
the
erthe
ment
in
this
parable
is
the
true
christen
people
/
whiche
haue
Christe
amonge
them
/
accordyng
as
the
gospel
of
the
miracle
telleth
:
and
that
this
people
hath
continued
their
succession
hitherto
/
fro
the
see
of
Peter
:
and
that
also
they
haue
in
them
.
iij.
conditions
/
that
is
to
say
/
they
be
of
one
harte
/
by
true
doctryne
:
they
be
of
one
honesty
/
by
the
brightnes
of
faith
:
And
thyrde
/
they
be
of
one
good
wyll
to
brynge
forthe
encrease
of
good
frute
.
The
Lutherans
want
these
.
iij.
conditions
:
they
be
nat
of
one
harte
and
of
one
doctryne
with
this
multitude
:
Nor
they
haue
nat
one
faithe
with
them
:
And
as
for
any
frute
they
care
nat
:
as
shal
be
clerely
shewed
in
the
fourthe
collection
.
Wherfore
they
be
nat
this
good
erthe
/
but
they
rather
haue
the
conditions
of
thornes
and
stones
/
and
of
the
clonge
erthe
/
as
it
manifestly
appereth
by
the
prophecy
of
saynt
Peter
/
as
ye
haue
herde
.
Wherfore
it
shal
be
expedient
that
ye
from
hensforth
fle

company

adioyne
you
with
the
good
erthe

with

catholike
people

that
I
may

whan
