The prophets daube the Princes with a foolishe cruste that is to wit seing vaine thinges and prophesiyng a lye vnto them saying so saith the Lord god when as for all that the Lord hath spoken nothing Now haue I prouid by the written word of god that all they which speake any thing that god hath not commanded them to speake and preach any thing that hath not commed out of gods mouth are all false prophets But the Wolfe of Winchester the loyterer of London the dreamer of Durram and all they that in they re preachinges saye that it is vnlawfull for byshoppes or priests to haue wiues that it is not lawful to eate fleshe in Lent by the law of god that a prieste ought to haue a shauen crowne a side gown an Albe and vestiment vpon him when he ministreth the Lords Supper that a byshoppe is higher than a priest or elder by the lawe of god that there ought to be Images Aulters Crosses Candels Censures Holy Water Holy bread Palmes singing of Latin in the church where the people vnderstandeth no latine that Saints ought to be called vpon that wee can helpe the dead with our prayers that there is no bread and wine in the Supper after the priest haue sayde these fiue words Hoc est corpus meum that no man ought to be a minister except he be subdeacon deacon before and therewith haue receiued benet and co●let and that no man ought to be admitted vnto the order of a subdeacon deacon or els an elder or priest except he vowe chastity before preach and saye those things which god neuer commaunded them to saye Therfore I gather that they are all false prophetes and therefore wolues because as I sayd before a false prophet and a Wolfe are all one Dean I thinke they are not so slenderly learned but they bee able to proue that god hath commaunded them to say all these things which ye haue rehearsed Hunter If they can proue by the Scripture that god commaunded them to saye and preach the aboue named things doubtles they haue other Scripture then we haue but I know that they can not proue by the written word of god that god gaue them anye commaundement to saye and preache these thinges therefore I will calle them false prophets vntil they can shewe theyr commission that god hath commanded them to preache such doctrine Deane What wyl yee doe if they can proue that they had commission of god to preache so Hunter I wyll crye them mercy and knowledge that I haue erred But because me thinke yee will not beleeue that they are false prophets for all my argumentes and places of the scripture alledged I will alledge another property or two of a false prophet which they geue and they ar these To be earnest in setting out of theyr one doctrin and to be cold in setting forth of gods expressed commaudement and to breake Goddes commaundement that theire tradition or ordinaunce might be aduaunced or set vp to threaten great punishment where as god threateneth none and to discorage men from it that god hath earnestly commāded and to flatter great men and to suffer them to do what they list and so to maintaine them in their wickednesse are the properties of a false prophet And that these are the properties of a false prophet I wil proue it by diuers open places of the scripture Christ in the xv of Matth layeth vnto the pharises charge which were false prophets that they were so earnest in setting forth and in keeping of their owne traditions and ordinaunces that they not onely not cared for the commaundement of God but also brake the commaundement of God that their traditions migh be set forth and kept of all men The wordes of Christ are these wherefore breake ye
