feastes of new Mones Feastes of newe Moones was celebrated euery monethe assone as the newe Moone did appere for it doeth appere that these Colossiās worshipped the Moone as a GOD and gaue Godly honor to it whiche thyng the Apostle forbiddeth and willeth thē not to honor the Moone as a God for it is no God but the creature of God ordinated for the commoditie of man nor to kepe holy daies to honor the newe Moone nor yet to doo any sacrifice to any Idolle as the Heathen did Al suche false worshippyng of creatures for God is here forbidden as thynges vnlawfull displeasyng God or to kepe holy daie in their names or for their sakes to do sacrifice to theim to honor theim or worship theim 4 Which are shadowes of thinges to come the body verely of Christe As he should saie difference of meates in

and shadowes in the old lawe thei figured Christ the sauiour of the worlde to come thei figured that he should sprynkle his bloud vpon the Crosse for the redempcion and saluaciō of the world Christ is come and hath shed his bloudde for our redempcion and by hym alone we be saued therefore shadowes and figures muste nowe cease and no more be coumpted as necessarie to bee kepte to our saluacion for without theim we be brought to saluacion that is by the mercie grace and goodnes of God the father for Christes sake alone and not for oure merites or deseruynges Let no man make you shote at a wrong

are more to be blamed that thei doo it of a set purpose and mynd aduisedly intendyng to deceiue other and in this their malice is more to bee noted and reproued that thei studie to deceiue other and to plucke other from the veritie of the Gospell into heresies suche bee thei that stifly defende workes of the lawe to be kept of necessitie of saluacion as Circumcision Ceremonies and other mennes
