Peter

.
vers
.
There
were
false
Prophets
among
the
people
:
so
likewise
there
shal
be
false
teachers
among
you
,
which
shal
bring
in
damnable
heresies
denying
the
Lord
that
redeemed
them
,
bringing
vpon
themselues
a
speedy
destruction
,
and
many
shall
follow
their
riotousnesse
,
by
whom
the
way
of
truth
shall
be
blasphemed
.
And
in
couetousnesse
with
pleasing
wordes
,
they
shall
buy
and
sell
you
,
whose
iudgement
that
was
long
agoe
doeth
not
linger
and
their
destruction
doeth
not
slumber
.
THE
Church
of
God
the
which
the
Apopostle
Saint
Paul
termeth
the
piller
and
the
foundation
of
trueth
:
is
as
Augustine
writeth
vpon
the
28.
Psalme
,
planted
in
the
middest
of
thornes
and
briers
,
omnes
amici
&
nulli
pacifici
,
Saint
Paul
gloried
in
this
onely
,
that
he
was
crucified
to
the
world
,
and
the
world
vnto
him
.
In
these
perilous
and
dangerous
daies
,
wherein
euery
peculiar
phantasie
be
it
neuer
so
ridiculous
once
shrouded
vnder
hypocrisie
is
accounted
piety
,
wherein
likewise
,
quot
auditores
tot
detractores
,
as
many
auditors
,
so
many
detractors
,
I
haue
thought
it
necessary
,
to
stay
them
that
are
running
headlong
to
their
owne
perdition
and
if
it
may
be
to
plucke
them
out
of
the
fier
that
are
already
schorched
,
and
to
remoue
all
occasion
of
schisme
and
dissension
,
that
as
God
is
a
God
of
peace
,
so
wee
likewise
may
endeuour
to
obserue
the
vnity
of
the
spirit
in
the
bonde
of
peace
.
The
Apostle
speaketh
vnto
vs
,
telling
vs
,
that
in
God
there
is
no
change
or
shadow
of
chaunge
,
and
if
God
bee
alwaies
one
and
the
same
,
we
ought
likewise
to
conforme
our selues
vnto
him
,
and
to
stand
fast
in
that
doctrine
which
we
haue
receiued
.
And
not
to
be
caried
away
,
with
euery
blast
of
vaine
doctrine
.
The
Apostle
Saint
Peter
in
these
three
verses
propoundeth
vnto
vs
,
three
seuerall
partes
to
be
obserued
:
The
first
a
propheticall
prediction
of
the
future
calamities
incident
vnto
the
Church
of
Christ
by
false
teachers
conteined
in
these
words
:
There
were
false
Prophetes
among
the
people
so
likewise
their
shal
be
false
teachers
among
you
.
During
the
time
of
the
lawe
Iannes
and
Mambres
,
Balam
the
sonne
of
Bosor
with
others
seduced
the
Church
of
God
:
Pharisies
and
Saduces
,
Elymas
&
Simon
Magus
,
Alexander
the
copper
smith
,
raised
sedition
among
them
Since
their
time
Diosciorus
,
Iouinian
,
Vigilantius
issued
forth
,
and
these
with
Arrius
and
Eunomius
brake
downe
the
heads
of
the
vineard
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
corrupting
the
word
of
God
and
perverting
the
same
.
False
prophets
there
were
among
the
people
so
likewise
there
shall
be
false
teachers
among
you
.
The
second
containeth
in
it
a
description
of
them
:
They
shall
priuily
bring
in
sects
,
damnable
sects
denying
the
Lord
that
redeemed
them
and
shal
bring
vpon
themselues
a
sudden
destruction
,
many
men
shall
followe
their
riotousnes
,
the
way
of
trueth
shal
be
blasphemed
by
them
,
and
to
enrich
themselues
,
they
shall
buy
and
sell
you
,
according
to
their
owne
disposition
.
The
third
is
the
rigorous
and
feareful
iudgement
of
God
that
houereth
ouer
their
heads
seta
equina
by
a
twine
thread
contained
in
these
words
The
iudgement
of
these
men
doeth
not
linger
,
and
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
them
all
doeth
not
slumber
.
You
see
beloued
,
the
scope
and
final
end
of
the
apostle
,
his
words
are
plaine
&
manifest
verified
at
this
day
in
the
eies
and
eares
of
you
all
:
and
the
like
euent
,
that
campe
vpon
them
wil
also
light
vpon
vs
,
in
that
we
haue
deuided
the
cote
of
Christ
that
had
no
seame
,
and
haue
dried
vp
the
ointment
of
vnity
that
ranne
downe
vpon
Aarons
beard
euen
vnto
the
skert
of
his
garment
.
Saint
Paul
perpending
the
state
of
his
time
,
protested
plainely
,
that
if
hee
should
labour
to
please
men
,
he
could
not
be
a
Disciple
of
Christ
.
And
I
would
to
God
that
there
were
not
some
to
be
found
among
vs
that
will
preach
according
to
the
direction
of
their
auditory
from
whence
haue
rysen
diuisions
tending
to
the
subuertion
of
Christian
faith
and
religion
,
And
from
this
sort
of
men
the
Apostle
exhorteth
euery
one
to
depart
.
The
haruest
approacheth
the
Master
of
the
ground
expecteth
a
good
croppe
:
but
the
tempestuous
blast
of
schisme
and
diuision
,
hath
shaken
the
blade
that
the
corne
is
perished
,
and
he
that
thresheth
the
same
shall
well
perceiue
his
labour
to
bee
lost
.
Men
and
brethren
in
this
militarie
expedition
,
let
euery
one
be
aduised
,
how
,
and
in
what
order
hee
standeth
.
He
that
is
persuaded
that
he
is
sure
of
foot
,
may
fal
,
he
that
runneth
may
forthwith
stumble
:
but
in
humility
,
let
euery
one
learne
:
for
God
resisteth
the
proude
,
and
applieth
himselfe
to
the
humble
,
and
hath
dealt
mercifully
with
the
poore
in
spirit
,
when
the
rich
men
of
the
world
haue
beene
sent
empty
away
.
The
Apostle
S.
Paul
in
his
first
Epistle
to
Timothy

4.
The
spirit
speaketh
plainely
,
that
in
the
later
daies
certaine
shall
reuolt
from
the
faith
.
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
addicting
themselues
to
spirits
of
errour
,
Eunomius
,
Vigilantius
,
and
Heluidius
,
in
the
fift
Pelagius
and
Nestorius
,
in
the
sixt
,
Agnoitae
,
Monophysitae
,
in
the
seuenth
,
Iacobitae
and
Sergius
,
that
retchlesse
helhound
,
of
whom
Anastasius
Bibliothecarius
maketh
mention
.
And
in
these
latter
daies
certaine
shall
reuolt
from
the
faith
,
giuing
attendance
vnto
spirits
of
errour
,
and
doctrine
of
deuils
,
as
Palmerius
did
with
Menno
the
Anababtist
,
denying
the
deity
of
the
sonne
of
God
.
As
Francis
Ket
did
,
not
long
since
in
Norwich
,
sounding
forth
innouations
contrary
to
the
doctrine
already
receaued
,
with
Browne
and
Barrow
,
making
an
externall
shewe
of
piety
,
as
the
Puritanes
in
England
doe
at
this
day
:
diuiding
themselues
from
the
Church
of
Christ
,
as
withered
branches
,
contending
de
lanae
caprina
,
for
moon-shine
in
the
water
,
haue
among
them
a
spotlesse
spouse
,
as
they
tearme
it
,
in
the
which
there
is
no
direct
or
prescript
forme
of
praier
,
but
as
the
spirit
ministreth
,
so
euery
one
to
speake
&
prophecy
.
And
these
recusants
are
planted
in
the
superlatiue
degree
,
they
are
omnium
infime
,
and
yet
superbissimi
,
not
able
to
defend
a
bad
cause
by
argument
,
exclaime
against
the
gouernment
of
the
Church
of
England
and
her
ministers
,
and
each
of
these
is
assured
that
he
hath
the
spirit
of
God
.
Brethren
wheresoeuer
you
be
,
and
whosoeuer
you
are
,
be
not
deceaued
,
for
God
assure
your selues
wil
not
be
mocked
.
For
a
time
he
forbeareth
but
in
his
due
time
he
striketh
:
he
is
not
tied
or
chained
to
any
one
corner
of
this
land
:
his
name
is
glorious
in
the
middest
of
his
people
:
there
hath
he
planted
an
holy
temple
for
himselfe
,
an
habitation
for
the
God
of
Iacob
.
I
pray
you
,
looke
into
the
practise
of
the
disturbers
of
the
Church
:
I
am
a
Prophet
aswell
as
you
are
,
and
my
doctrine
is
deriued
from
heauen
by
reuelation
.
So
those
irregular
Friers
tearmed
pauperes
de
Lugduno
that
rose
vp
in
the
yeare
a
thousand
fiue
hundreth
and
seuenty
vnder
Lucius
the
third
and
Alexander
,
the
3.
Popes
of
Rome
,
as
writeth
Abbas
Vrspergensis
in
the
yeare
a
thousand
two
hundreth
and
twelue
affirmed
that
they
had
a
peculiar
calling
from
God
,
and
therefore
they
regarded
not
the
ordinance
of
man
.
What
was
Samosatenes
,
Epiphanius
in
his
second
booke
contra
haereses
reporteth
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
puffed
vp
with
a
little
learning
that
he
had
fell
from
the
trueth
.
What
caused
Iulian
surnamed
the
Apostata
to
decline
,
Gregory
Nazianzene
speaketh
of
him
,
a
presumptuous
opinion
that
he
had
of
himselfe
,
the
which
in
the
ende
turned
to
his
owne
destruction
.
This
selfe
same
thing
Saint
Augustine
confesseth
in
his
53.
tracte
vpon
Iohn
:
Quosdam
nimia
suae
voluntatis
fiducia
extulit
in
superbiam
,
&
quosdam
nimia
suae
voluntatis
diffidentia
deiecit
in
negligentiam
.
Certaine
there
are
saieth
hee
,
that
of
a
reuerent
opinion
conceiued
of
themselues
,
wax
proude
,
and
others
distrusting
themselues
,
sitte
at
home
and
doe
nothing
.
And
as
Bernarde
de
consideratione
,
to
Eugenius
,
ociosus
est
,
non
tantum
quia
nihil
operatur
,
sed
qui
continuè
laborando
nihil
tandem
lucratur
.
That
man
saieth
Bernarde
,
is
not
onelie
saied
to
bee
idle
,
that
doeth
nothing
,
but
hee
likewise
that
alwaies
turmoyleth
,
and
reapeth
nothing
.
So
these
zealous
men
caried
awaie
with
a
popular
applause
Saxum
sudant
nitendo
,
nec
proficiunt
hylum
:
They
are
alwaies
inueighing
against
the
scandalous
gouernement
of
our
Church
,
and
as
Hierom
writing
to
Marcellam
speaketh
:
Itur
in
verba
:
sermo
teritur
,
lacerantur
absentes
,
vita
aliena
describitur
,
&
mordentes
inuicem
consumimur
ab
inuicem
.
Here
the
quarrell
beginneth
,
a
disputation
is
intended
,
and
thereof
proceedeth
malice
and
rancour
,
and
one
enuying
the
other
,
one
in
the
ende
consumeth
another
.
Heretofore
the
controuersie
was
about
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
bookes
extant
at
this
day
pro
&
con
,
by
that
right
honourable
,
right
reuerende
,
and
most
learned
father
of
the
Church
of
Englande
his
grace
of
Canterburie
sufficiently
approued
the
same
.
The
question
is
now
,
whether
our
ecclesiasticall
order
bee
allowable
by
the
word
of
God
,
and
hereupon
,
as
the
Poet
speaketh
successit
vetus
comaedia
&
in
vitium
libertas
excidit
&
vim
,
dignam
lege
regi
:
for
the
liues
of
our
spirituall
fathers
are
made
scandalous
,
their
doctrine
for
fashion
sake
lightly
regarded
,
and
cursed
cham
Iohn
Penrie
of
Wales
hath
laied
open
the
shame
of
his
father
,
but
a
curse
shall
light
vpon
his
heade
,
his
daies
shall
bee
prolonged
to
his
owne
shame
,
and
like
a
fugitiue
hee
shall
begge
his
breade
.
A
lewde
liuer
doeth
not
argue
a
corrupt
teacher
:
Scribes
and
Pharisees
were
lewde
liuers
,
and
yet
good
preachers
,
and
their
doctrine
ratyfied
and
approued
by
the
sonne
of
God
.
Christ
was
preached
for
enuy
,
hee
that
preached
Christ
in
that
order
was
a
lewde
liuer
,
yet
a
good
preacher
:
Saint
Paule
gloried
in
him
.
Christ
was
preached
for
ostentation
;
hee
that
preached
him
in
that
order
was
a
lewde
liuer
,
yet
a
good
preacher
,
Saint
Paule
gloried
in
him
.
Bee
the
preacher
in
life
lasciuious
,
if
his
doctrine
bee
good
,
Saint
Paule
speaketh
I
haue
reioyced
in
him
,
and
I
will
reioyce
.
Men
and
brethren
,
I
speake
not
this
to
defende
the
irregular
liues
of
anie
,
but
onely
to
stoppe
the
mouthes
of
them
that
for
a
small
infirmitie
woulde
exclude
the
best
preachers
in
this
lande
from
preaching
,
and
beeing
vnlearned
labour
to
determine
matters
,
the
which
they
doe
not
vnderstande
.
Although
I
wish
daielie
,
that
euery
one
of
vs
would
conforme
his
life
to
his
doctrine
,
for
the
worde
and
the
woorke
agreeing
,
doeth
as
Basil
speaketh
in
his
Homily
vpon
the
Prouerbes
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
it
causeth
the
worde
preached
to
bee
better
accepted
.
False
Prophets
there
were
saieth
the
Apostle
among
the
people
,
I
haue
not
sent
them
and
they
are
gone
:
false
Prophets
are
dispersed
among
the
people
,
so
likewise
there
shall
bee
false
teachers
among
you
.
sic
solet
amicos
beare
suos
,
in
this
order
doeth
he
magnifie
himselfe
in
his
frends
.
In
these
daies
wher
hypocrisie
can
hardly
be
discerned
from
piety
,
it
standeth
vs
vpon
to
know
a
false
teacher

no

the
singing
of

was
lawfull

The
Psalmes

The
Psalmes

not

vnto
himselfe

is
not
this
verified
among
vs
at

and
what
is
the
reason
thereof

men
are
caried
awaie
with
a
shew
of
doctrine
,
so
head-strong
,
that
they
will
not
stande
to
the
iudgement
of
the
Church
:
corruption
in
maners
,
in
religion
,
are
very
rife
,
all
haue
erred
,
and
the
trueth
is
reuealed
but
vnto
a
fewe

that
is
vnto
them

done
〈◊〉

The

was
instituted
in

,
&
after
the
fal
of
our
first
parents
being
barren
,
she
became
fertle
,
watered
with

of

the

whereof
,
we
all
haue
receiued
,
and
shal
continue
to
the
ende
of
the
world
,
and
the

shall

Are
wee
all
agreed
of
a
Church
?
and
of
the
vnity
thereof
?
from
whence
arise
these
dissentions
?
the
Seruetian
,
he
hath
a
Church
by
himselfe
,
and
is
his
the
true
Church
?
the

he
is
a

of
the

therefore
he

Our

of

,
are
now
a
purging
of
the

in
taking
away
humane

If

,
Idaeam

the
like
vnto
this
at
anie

should
neuer
haue
bene
knowen

But
God
hath
taken
the
raigne
into
his
own
hand
&
hath
put
a
snaffle
into
their
mouthes
,
and
hath
asswaged
the
corages
of
them
,
that
to
run
forward
they
cannot
,
and
the
vigilant
eie
of
our
soueraigne
hath
caused
them
like
Seriphian
frogges
to
liue
in
silence
,
and
whereas
heretofore
the

hath
swarmed
with

bookes
the
date
of
them
is
now
expired

&
God
graunt
them
grace
that
in
time
they
may
see
there
owne
infirmities
,
and
al
occasions
of
dissention
taken
a

we
may
liue
togither
in

in

we
may
so

,
that
into

we
al
likewise
may
be

.
It
were
not

vnto
this

,
if

as

obserueth
:

,
there
is
no

This
is
a
dangerous
matter
saith
he
,
that
one
shal
presume
of
himselfe
so
far
aboue
his
reach
in
that
he
is
not
able
to
performe
halfe
that
is
expected
at

,
in
the

season
his
ignorance
is
detected
&
his
doctrine
scorned
,
from
hence
springeth
diuision
scandalus
to
the
church
of
God
:
the
waring
of
a
decent
garment
in
the
church
as
a
Cap
or
a
Sirples
is
superstitious
:
vnlearned
men
haue
we
spred
this
in
corners
&
vnlearned
men
maintaine
it
publikely
that
as
Hierom
writeth
ad

In

that

are
very
carefull

in

for
them

Luther
in
his
time
found
no
incōuenicence
in
them
,
in
so
much
that
he
vsed
them
.
Erasmus
ad
fratres
inferioris
Germaniae
was
so
farre
from
condemning
them
,
that
he
defended
them
,
if
Caluin
or
Beza
haue
exclamed
against
them
as
abuses
scandalous
.
The
causes
that
moued
our
professed
enemies
to
sende
forth
these
teachers
are
diuerse
:
among
the
which
I
wil
at
this
time
obserue
one
,
and
that
is
,
the
short
continuance
that
he
hath
in
this
world
,
the
reason
is
in
that
he
surmised
,
that
this
worlde
is
languishing
and
lieth
at
the
last
gaspe
,
and
by
reason
the
time
is
short
,
he
doeth
not
omit
any
oportunity
,
diuerse
are
allured
with
an
externall
shew

,
others
are
caried
away
with
a
persuasiue
hope
of
permanent
felicity
,
some
are
drowned
in
despaire
:
in
fine
,
there
is
but
one
way
to
heauen

the

and
crosse

Bernard
lamenting
the
disordered
liues
of
the
Cleargy
in
his
time
,
compared
them
to
conduit

the
which
yeeld
water
vnto
vs
plentifuully

but
in
fine
reserue
none
themselues

,
in

forth
a
shrill
sound

themselues
nothing

Thomas
Aquinas
writing
vpon
the
9
,
of
Genesis
affirmeth
that
the
priestes
in
his
time
were
disordered
,
in
that
they
reserued
the
Reuenues
of
the
Church
to
their
owne
peculiar
vse
and
in
the
end
he
concludeth
,

The
priests
saith
he
are
so
sumptuous
in
their
diet
,
and
so
prodigal
in
superfluous
expences
that
they
liue
more
like
princes
,
then
priests
.

Is
the

of

in
this
point
so
reformed

at

required

I

not

any
where

we

this
is
scandalous
to
the

the

,
in

Erasmus

This
man
had
many
children
the
which
he
kept
for
charity
some
at
the
Vniuersities
,
others
that
were
not
ingenious
he
disbursed
a
sum
of
money
,
and
placed
them
in
an
occupation
,
for
his
daughters
that
were
fatherles
and
motherles
,
fearing

they
should
encline
to
leudnes
,
he
gaue
not
many
hundreds
as
we
doe
in
these
daies
,
but
a
competent
dowry
of
twenty
nobles
,
and
bestowed
them
to
their
great
likings
.
This
man
was
summoned
by
sickenes
to
depart
out
of
this
world
,
three
houres
before
his
departure
he
called
his
treasorer
vnto
him
,
charging
him
to
bring
vnto
him
his
accompts
,
that
hee
might
make
euen
with
the
world
,
before
he
departed
,
the
which
when
he
had
done
,
it
was
found
that
the
olde
Bishop
was
not
in
debt
:
and
that
he
had
in
redy
money
a
great
masse
of
currant

might
according
to
their
desert
be
preferred

to
a
scholler-ship

I
doubt
not
,
but
the
smoke
of
this

would
ascend
like
a
sweete
perfume
in

As
there
were
false

Among
manye
plagues
wherewith
God
did
afflict
and
punish
his
people
,
this
was
the
greatest
,
that
for
their
contempt
and
disobedience
of
his
people
,
he
would
giue
them
their
hearts
desire
,
he
would
permit
them
to
be
seduced
by
euery
spirit
.
Doth
God
afflict
his
people
by
famine
,
vpon
their
repentaunce
hee
sendeth
abundance
:
doth
hee
afflict
them
with
pestilence
vpon
their
conuersion
,
the
plague
ceaseth
.
Doeth
hee
afflict
them
with
war
God
at
their
amendment
,
hee
breaketh
the
bowe
and
speare
insunder
,
and
ouerthroweth
all
the
chariots
and
horsemen
of
the
AEgyptians
,
and
causeth
the
violent
waues
of
Iordan
to
returne
backewarde
,
and
deliuereth
his
people
in
great
security
from
imminent
dangers
by
the
handes
of
Moses
and
Aaron
.
But
are
his
people
light
headed
?
Will
they
haue
Gods
to
goe
before
them
as
the
heathen
haue
,
this
light
meate
in
the
wildernesse
cloyeth
vs
,
it
is
not
comparable
in
any
degree
,
to
the
flesh
pots
of
Aegypt
:
the
tabernacle
of
Moloch
,
and
the
starre
of
Rempham
,
their
Altars
whereon
they
vsed
to
sacrifice
the
body
of
their
Sonnes
and
Daughters
to
deuils
:
all
these
ascended
vp
into
the
presence
of
God
,
and
then
they
neglected
the
due
seruice
of
God
,
and
laied
open
their
eares
to
the
inchantments
of
false
Prophets
,
and
brought
a
speedy
destruction
vpon
them
,
haec

thus

Among
many
inconueniences
that
the
Church
susteyneth
,
this
is
the
greatest
,
that
the
simplest
and
the
vnlearnedst
among
vs
,
are
easily
perswaded
to
take
vpon
them
the
exposition
of

booke

and
a
phantasie
beeing

can
hardly
bee
remooued

This
caused
Saint

in

that
he

folly
of

:
Nulla

not
presume
to
take

are

Wilt
thou
then
saieth
Augustine
,
beeing
vnlearned
,
without
a

take
vpon
thee
to
expounde
Scripture
?
The

copious
in
this
argument
and
Leo

I
speak
this
the
more
confidently
in
that
the
Scriptures
,
are
thought
to
be
so
easie
,
that
the
simplest
may
read

vnderstand
them
,
and
what
hath
followed
,
diuerse
haue
preferred
their
owne
fantasie
before
the
right

Laymen
haue
in
their

presumed
to

likewise
,

Saint

in

If

let

repaire

And
thus
much
,
by
your
fauourable
patience
shall
suffice
to
haue
spoken
of
this
first
part
.
The
second
part
conteineth
a
description
of
them
:
they
shall
bring
in
damnable
heresies
tending
to
the
destruction
of
the
instructer
and
the
instructed
,
they
shall
impugne
the
deity
and
the
humanity
of
Christ
:
the
people
that
are
credulous
shal
follow
them
,
the
trueth
shal
be
blasphemed
and
corrupted
by
them
,
&
of
a
greedy
appetite
,
to
enrich
themselues

with

words

The
Apostle
writing

from

tolde

And
againe

false
Prophets
that
come
vnto
you
in

inwardly
they
are
rauening

the

addeth
this

that

that
sprang
from
the
rotten
roote
of
Carpocrates
,
they
pretended
piety
and
integritie
of
life
,
and
practised
secretly
by
Magique
:

he
perceiued

the

of
Christ
was
generally
receaued

in
that
hee
was
tearmed
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
hee
likewise
peruerted

in
adding

the

,
affirming
,
that
Christ
was
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
not
of
the
same
substance
with
God
his
father
,
but
of
the
like
,
and
brought
vpon
his
owne
heade
suddaine
destruction
:
Christ
is
very
God
and
very
man
,
God
of
his
father
before
the
world
,
and
man
of
his
Mother
borne
in
the
world
,
perfect
God
and
perfect
man
,
his
humane
flesh
subsisting
.
Yet
Ioannes
Langius
affirmed
,
that
Christ
was
not
man
,
whose
damnable
heresie
was
long
ago
condemned
in
Eutiches
,
in
the
3.
Calcedon
Councels
,
and
the
2.
councels
helde
at
Constantinople
.
Christ
became
sinne
,
that
is
,
hee
offered
himselfe
to
God
the
father
a
sacrifice
for
sinne
,
hee
died
for
the
sinnes
of
the
worlde
:
if
any
presumptuous
and
blasphemous
mouth
will
saye
,
that
there
was
sinne
in
Christ
.
Anathema
sit
,
let
him
bee
accursed
,
I
hope
there
is
no
preacher
in
Englande
will
say
so
,
if
any
haue
affirmed
it
,
that
man
is
in
the
highest
degree
of
heresie
and
blasphemy
,
and
if
he
persist
in
the
same
,
I
assure
him
,
little
comfort
shall
hee
reape
by
the
passion
of
Christ
:
for
the
benefit
of
his
passion
is
extended
in
omnes
peccatores
,
but
as
Durand
speaketh
respicientes
,
but
vnto
them
that
haue
conceiued
within
themselues
a
godly
sorrow
for
sinne
the
grace
of
God
assisting
.
If
then
this
doctrine
be
true
,
as
without
controuersie
it
is
most
true
,
where
are
they
which
were
tearmed
patropassiani
and
the
like
,
from
whence
Michaell
Seruetus
deriued
his
execrable
and
damnable
assertions
opposite
and
repugnant
to
the
analogy
and
proportion
of
our
faith
.
Christ
suffered
in
his
humanity
,
the
deity
impassible
,
Cicero
,
Homer
,
Plato
,
Socrates
.
If
any
learned
man
doubt
of
this
his
assertion
:
I
refer
him
to
his
epistle
writen
Iacobo
Tutori
.
Men
in
these
daies
are
curious
:
Erasmus
he
misliked
the
old
interpreter
:
Beza
misliked
him
,
Castellio
condemned
him
,
Tremelius
magnified
of
a
number
:
Vatablus
little
regarded
our
ordinary
translation
of
the
Bible
in
English
,
in
pulpits
not
long
since
reprehended
.
What
haue
these
procured
but
a
defection
from
Christ
and
Christianity
:
Laurentius
Valla

by
no
meanes
could
be
perswaded
to
allowe
of
the
woorde
persona
in
the
Trinity
:
Pomponius
Laetus
had
conceiued
so
pleasing
an
opinion
of
himselfe
,
that
hee
vtterly
detested
the
Greeke
tongue
,
in
that
hee
feared
it
would
corrupt
his
fluent
and
copious
stile
in
Latine
.
And
oftentimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
men
standing
too
much
in
their
owne
light
forgette
themselues
,
and
are
perswaded
of
a
verity
,
the
which
of
them
is
not
conceiued
:
sectes
are
rife
among
vs
,
the
trueth
is
blasphemed
,
and
diuerse
in
these
daies
for
lucre
sake
to
obtayne
a
poore
benefice
can
preach
according
to
the
direction
of
the
patrons
▪
Demosthenes
beeing
once
corrupted
by
money
by
Legates
,
protested
that
he
had
little
to
say
in
the
behalfe
of
his
King
and
Countrey
,
for
his
tongue
was
not
his
owne
,
in
that
hee
had
solde
it
:
so
these
Clurina
peccora
,
that
with
money
cary
deaneries
and
prebendaries
vpon
their
backes
,
they
haue
but
litle
to
say
in
the
church
of
God
,
for
they
paide
extremely
for
it
,
&
if
they
may
saue
himselfe
he
careth
not
.
It
was
an
oulde
verse
Curia
Romana
non
captat
ouem
sine
lana
,
so
they
maye
reape
the
benefite
,
lette
them
that
list
take
the
laboure
.
And
that
which
is
a
soule
inconuenience
,
when
menne
that
haue
spente
all
their
dayes
in
phisicke
,
or
in
the
studies
of
the
Ciuill
Lawe
,
if
hee
cannot
by
that
aspire
to
promotion
presently
he
intrudeth
himselfe
into
the
ministry
,
and
with
their
flesh
hookes
like
Elies
children
they
snatch
the
flesh
out
of
the
pot
which
in
equity
belonged
to
the
priest
,
and
not
vnto
them
.
In

many

famous
scholler
in

vniuersity

whose

poore

lingereth
away

Our

be

point

Ambrose
compareth
the
night
oule
to
these
kinde
of
men
,
A
man
infected
with
some
one
dangerous
malady
is
auoided
:
for
as
Aristotle
speaketh
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
an
infection
is
alwaies
in
motu
,
forthwith
it
will
disperse
herselfe
.
But
the
infection
of
the
soule
,
which
is
heresie
as
Bernarde
speaketh
,
serpit
vt
cancer
,
when
we
think
it
is
going
away
from
vs
,
it
commeth
vpon
vs
that
is
not
regarded
.
The
body
being
sicke
,
we
forthwith
haue
recourse
to
sundry
expert
physicians
,
and
be
the
disease
neuer
so
dangerous
,
one
or
other
is
perswaded
that
he
can
cure
the
same
.
But
the
soule
of
man
lying
in
a
consumption
,
that
the
very
essence
of
Religion
,
faith
in
Christ
is
almost
brought
to
nothing
,
few
resort
vnto
him
,
that
with
clay
and
spittle
can
open
our
eies
:
whose
hem
of
his
grament
can
immediatly
stay

issue
of
bloud
,
who
in
saying
:

say

arise

who
can
raise

This
physician
is
not
sought
nor
regarded
,
but
it
is
with
vs
,
as
with
desperate
patients
,
when
the
physician
perceiueth
that
there
is
no
way
but
death
,
leaueth
the
patient
to
his
owne
appetite

in

We
are
al
perswaded
of
a

we
are
not

of
the

much

will
likewise
deny
him

he
that
confesseth
me
before
man
,
I
likewise
will
acknowledge
him
before
my

in

That
man
that
weareth

of
a

vnder
him
is
protected
from
diuerse
that

is

so
wee

cognisance
of
Christ
,
&
vnder
him
are
protected
from
three
capitall
enemies
,
the
world

the
flesh

and
the
diuel
,
that
continually
lye
in

kill
both
soule

doe
keepe
the
companie
of
his
professed
enemies

and
associate
our selues
with
pride
,
luxurie
and
prodigality
,
and
with
them
little
esteeme
of
him
and
his
Crosse
:
we
approue
our selues
vnprofitable
seruants
,
and
greater
iniurie
then
these
vnto
him
,
cannot
be
offered
.
If
we
professe
Christ
in
outward
shewe
,
for
feare
of
the
Rigour
of
some
penall
statute
,
and
in

this

serueth
not

So
the
diuels
likewise
know
him
and
acknowledge

yet
they
beleeue
not

In

Antioch
a
famous
Citty
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
11.
of
the
Acts.
in
that
the
faithful
beleeuing
were
called
Christians
,
a
Citty
greatly
honored
for
Religion
:
in
so
much
,
it
was
had
in
so
great
honour
and
reputation
that
the
patriarch
had
vnder
him
:
14
metropolitanes
,
as
Volaterane
in
his
11.
book
reporteth
,
there
were
an
hundred
and
fifty
Bishops
.
The
Cittie
double
walled
,
for
it
had
foure
hundred
and
threefcore
strong
towers
,
and
three
hundred
threescore
beautifull
Churches
,
but
what
of
these
,
they
were
at
diuision
:
some
followed
the
doctrin
of
Nestorius
,
others
relied
wholly
vpon
Macarius
,
denying
the
sonne
of
God
that
redeemed
them
.
Insomuch
that
God
being
offended
with
them
,
he
sent
Cosroe
king
of
Persia
,
inuaded
the
Citty
,
ouerthroweth
it
,
put
the
inhabitants
to
fire
&
sword
,
&
this
euent
had
schism
&
diuision

To
let
passe
Constantinople
conquered
by
the
Turke

to
omit
the
Empire
of
Trapez●●t
,
vanquished
by
him
,
in
that
the
inhabitants
disseuered
themselues
in
matters
of
Religion
,
in
that
the
Greeke
Church
dissented
from
the
latin
:
the
Emperor
of
Constantinople
came
with
the
Patriarch
to
a
councel
holden
at
Florence
in
Italy
,
&
there
confirmed
the
vnity
of
both
Churches
,
what
followed
?
Marcus
B.
of
Ephesus
kindled
sedition
,
peruerted
the
Empire
in
14.
years
after
,
made
great
variance
among
them
:
insomuch
,
that
the
Turke
came
suddainly
vpon
them
,
conquered
the
Empire
,
and
put
them
al
to
the
sword
:
the
Emperour
in
fleeing
away
was
slaine
,
his
head
caried
vpon
a
pole
in
derision
,
his
wife
&
daughters
reserued
to
satisfie
their
carnall
appetite
.
This
is
the
ende
of
sects
and
schisme

in

haue

sundry
and

if
any
offer
vnto
vs

refuse
the

,

as

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
Christ
himselfe
hath
so
taught
vs
:
The
Apostles
of
christ
haue
so
preached
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the

Let
it
be
sufficient
then
for
thee
to
say

I

thus
taught

The
Apostle
Saint
Peter
obserueth
two
especiall
properties
in
them
,
the
one
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
their
intemperancy
:
they
shall
be
so
licentious
in
their
doctrine
,
that
they
care
not
what
they
speake
,
the
second
is
their
couetousnesse
,
they
preach
vnto
you
,
saieth
the
Apostle
not
to
saue
your
soules
,
but
to
saue
themselues
to
enrich
themselues
,
and
these
are
two
notable
tokens
to
discerne
a
false
teacher
.
A
riotous
and
luxurious
person
ouerthroweth
himselfe
in
his
prodigality
:
so
these
riotous
and
luxurious
preachers
they
ouerthrow
themselues
in
their
superfluities
:
he
that
in
diputation
hath
once
made
a
breach
into
any
absurdity
,
he
wil
not
spare
to
swallow
many
:
so
these
hauing
erred
in
the
principal
points
,
of
christian
religion
care
not
what
they
say
.
A
foole
saieth
Salomon
,
he
is
lauish
of
his
tongue
,
and
hee
that
is
vnaduised
in
his
speach
shall
feele
mischiefes
.
Dauid
attributeth
to
a
slaunderous
tongue
a
fit
reward
,

that
is

In
the
Church
of
England
there
is
but
one
vniforme
consent
of
praier
,
ratified
by
autority
,
yet
that
forme
and
order
of
praier
,
cannot
by
no
meanes
be
receaued
.
For
we
wil
pray
as
we
are
disposed
.
This
mans
praier
is
effectuall
,
it
conteineth
in
it
,
all
things
that
are
requisite
to
corporall
sustenance
,
or
spirituall
comfort

The
prayer
prescribed
in
the
Church
by
authority
,
they
are
thankesgiuings

victories
obteyned
by
Dauid

or
else
if
of
late
yeares
they
haue
beene
set
downe

they
doe
not

Againe

Our
comming
to
the
Church
is
to
praise
God
,
with
one
vniforme
consent
of
praier
,
one
man
he
hath
writen
praiers
,
and
so
he
praieth
to
himselfe
.
Another
,
he
deuiseth
a
praier
as
he
kneeleth
,
if
the
preacher
be
not
as
they
require
,
they
will
not
repaire
to
heare
him
.
One
man
he
commendeth
the
order
of
praiers
,
prescribed
by
the
faithfull
brethren
of
the
Church
of
Scotland
,
another
alloweth
not
so
well
of
that
,
as
he
doeth
of
certaine
praiers
that
were
priuily
printed
of
late
yeares
:
in
fine
,
so
they
may
deface
the
vniforme
order
of
praier
,
in
the
booke
of
common
prayer
they
could
bee
content
to
receaue
any
order
whatsoeuer
.
Iohn
Penrie
hath
of
late
set
forth

paltry
pamphlet

carying
a
shew

a
confutation
of
a
learned
Sermon
,
preached
out
of
this
place

by
a
learned
and
a
reuerende
man
,
wherein
hee
inueigheth
against
notable
and
learned
pointes
of
doctrine
,
the
which
the
poore
seely
soule
doeth
not
vnderstand
.
And
to
aggrauate
the
matter
,
hee
desireth
them
vnto
whose
hands
his
booke
shall
come
,
to
peruse
the
Collect
appointed
for
Saint
Michaell
the
Archangell

wherein

saieth

there
is
plainly
set
downe

plaine
article

of
popery

praier

On
the
other
side
,
I
desire
you
,
that
at
this
day
heare
me
,
at
your
comming
home
to
peruse
the
collect
,
if
you
can
finde
any
one
such
point
therein
conteyned

tending

his
wordes

I
will
recant
this
that
I
say
,
if
not
,
I
beseech
you
for
Gods
cause
suspect
these
men
,
that
seeke
nothing
but
the
ouerthrow
of

the

So
these
men
T.
C.
hath
ouerthrown
them
by
the
word
of
God
,
if
his
tongue
and
pen
were
at
liberty
,
he
is
now
better
furnished
then
euer
he
was
.
The
presbytery
of
England
should
be
furnished
with
sufficient
preachers
,
all
scandals
remoued
,
the
gouernement
of
the
Church
should
peaceably
be
gouerned
,
and
the
spirit
of
prophecy
should
not
be
extinguished
.
Well
I
am
assured
of
one
thing
,
I
shall
haue
no
thankes
for
my
labour
,
and
I
looke
for
none
,
what
I
haue
spoken
is
for
the
duty
that
I
owe
to
the
Church
of
God
,
and
to
benefit
the
same
.
The
Apostle
would
haue
vs
to
pray
continually
,
lifting
vp
pure
handes
vnto
heauen
,
and
as
long
as
we
heape
one
innouation
vpon
the
necke
of
another
,
so
long
we
exceed
in
excessiue
riot
and
blaspheme
the
way
of
truth
.
The
second
thing
that
the
Apostle
obserueth
in
these
false
teachers
is
,
their
couetousnesse
,
a
fault
not
tolerable
in
them
that
are
appointed
by
God
to
instruct
his
people
.
This
vice
it
is
too
too
common
among
vs
