haue gret delight in the deuels cauillacyons and blasphemis Such fals lying prophetes doth paul set forthe in such lyuely colors as thei ought be paynted with and maketh a comparyson betwene a faythful preacher of the gospel and a false hipocryte and dissembler And he describeth both by these tokeÌ„s The tokens of a good and faithful bisshop be these j. The husband of one wife ij Sobre iij. Discrete iiij Lowely and meke v. A keper of hospitalyte vj. Apt to teach vij No dronkerd viij No fighter but a iust dealer hating all quarelling and contencyon ix Not desieros of filthy luker but abhorring all couetosnes x.

Betrayers of secret councel rassâ—blabbes xj Hauing a color and out ward shyne of holynes and yet denyeÌ„g the specyal vertu and pyth therof Now there is no man so blynd or of â—o lytle witt which can not discern and know false seducers from true preachers by these tokens but yet because there be many hipocrytes which pretend to be as holy and deuowt as angels thorow their fylthy wyueles life and abstynence from meates and difference of garmentes he reproueth this doctrine of theirs by name saing that thei shal forsake the fayth and the vertu and pyth of holynes that is to say the rigtuosnes of faith that thei shal teach lyes the deuyls doctrine thorow hypocrisy namely this that mariage is vnlauful and forbidden vnto certen persons Item thei shal put difference betwene meates garmentes that one kynd is more holy than a nother c. And thei shal affirme that these doctrynes do conteyne in them saluacyon the pyth of holynes and the perfeccyon of a christen man And he sayth that these do turn stopp their eares from the truth and from the holy scripture turning them vnto vayne fables that thei shal not abyde holsom doctrine nor the swete word of our lord Iesus christ that thorow fayth is profytable vnto true holines but thei shal procure them selues a multitude of masters which shal preache vnto them after their own appetites that thei shal dote abowt vayn questyons and contencyons of wordes because the truth is takeÌ„ from them thei shal byleue surely euen luker to be holynes because thei be infect and poysoned in their hartes and myndes and thei shal haue but lytle delight or pleasure in the doctryne of fayth but put their confidence in opynions articles inueÌ„ted of their own braynes and of other men and those shal thei highly esteme euen for heauenly wisdom and true holynes For thus doth paul him self affirme vnto the thessalonyans that god shal send them a strong myghty blyndnes that thei shal byleue lyes and that all which byleue not the truth and the holsom word of our lord Iesus christ shal be damned he saith also that thei shal haue delyght and pleasure in vnrigtuosnes that is to say thei shal think them selues saued by those things which haue no vertu of saluacioÌ„ in them namely by the workes of their own handes which are not confyrmed by the word of god but only by false and lying myracles Such do not harkeÌ„ vnto the angels singyng glory be vnto god aboue and peace delyght ioy vnto men in the erth c. For thei can not delight them selues vpon this infant because he is symple myserable abiect and disfigured with the crosse of affliccion for thei think luker to be holynes thei seke ryches and hygh empyres or kyngdoms thei geue no eare vnto god speaking from heauen This is my dearly beloued sonne in whom I delight but thei delight in other things than in him in whom god wold us to delight and reioyse And ther for paul biddeth us toshunne them saing that thei ought not to he herd and that no man ought to dispute or reason with them but that we ought to fle from them as from an infectuos canker and to stop our eares at theyr bablyng capcyos disceyght ful wordes and folissh and wicked questyons he wil not suffre us to moue one hear brede out of the scripture to cople or reason with theÌ„ but to resist and withstand them with the holy scripture for he saith But thow stand fast in those things which thou hast lerned in those things which are coÌ„mitted vnto the remembriÌ„g of whom thou hast lerned them and that euersyns thou wart a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which be able to make the perfyghtly lerned thorow faith vnto the saluacyoÌ„ which is in christ Iesus for as moch as all scripture inspired by god is profitable to teach and to reproue c. And paul reasoneth thus A bisshop ought to resist his aduersarys with that lerniÌ„g wherby he maye be enstruct in the doctryne of faith eschew the doctrines of the deuel and saue both himself and his hearers But the holy scripture is such lerning wher for he ought to resist by the holy scripture which reasoÌ„ he proueth by the propertys of a good and faithful preacher For the property sayth he of a true teacher is eyther To teach to improue false doctryne to amend and edyfye or to instruct in rightwisnes For as he sayth a bisshop must be apt to teach and to reproue the aduersarys of the faith and he must be such one as must be myghtie and also able to conuynce them that be aduersaris to the truth further more such as erre thorow ignorance or infirmytie thei must reforme them in to the ryght way fynally it is necessary for childern to be norisshed with mylke and gentle instruccyons Now if the holy scriptures be sufficyent to teach instruct perfyghtly thaÌ„ it must nedes folow that all thiÌ„gs necessary vnto saluacyon may be taught owt of them And agayne if thei be sufficient to coÌ„uynce them which resist the truth or fight agaynst the articles of the fayth vphold the deuels doctrynes thaÌ„ it must folow also that all heresis may be confuted by them and that thei lye abhominably which imagyne a newe vnwrtttoÌ„ word for that cause And this refuge or excuse to say that although the scripture be profitable for such thiÌ„gs yet it is not sufficyeÌ„t That is false sayth paul For I affirme sayth he that the holy scriptures do teach us abundantly all thyngs wherby a man of god that is to say a christen man may be perfight and apt or ready vnto all goodnes and thus it foloweth also that thei teach lyes which affirme any
