loue one another to helpe at nede And suche louers he hereth and not sottle ypocrytes As loue maketh the helpe me at my nede so when it is paste thy power to helpe it maketh the praye to God Euen so where is no loue to make the take bodely payne with me there is no loue that maketh the praye for me But thy prayer is in dede for thy belye whiche thou loueste what were the scrybes and pharyseys The scrybes besydes that they were pharyseys as I suppose were also offycers as are our bysshopes Chauncelers Comyssaryes Archedeacones and offycyalles And the phariseys were relygyouse men whiche hade professed not as nowe one Dominycke the other fraunces another Barnardes rules But euen to hold the very lawe of God with prayer fastynge and almes dede and were the flowre and perfectyon of all the Iewes as S. Paule reioyseth of hym selfe philippen 3. saynge I was an Ebrue and concernynge the lawe a pharyse and concernynge the ryghtwysnes of the lawe I was fautles They were more honorable then any secte of Mōkes with vs. whether obseruaūt or Ancre or what so euer other be had in pryce They myght moche better haue reioysed to haue ben the true churche and to haue had the spyryte of God and that they coulde not haue erred they men whome all the worlde seeth neyther to kepe Godes lawes nor mannes nor yet y t deuelyshe lawe of theyr owne makyng For God hathe made thē of the olde testament as great promyses that he wold be theyr God and that his spiryte and al grace shuld be with thē yf they kepte his lawe as he hathe made to vs Nowe seing they kepe the vttermost rote of the lawe in the syghte of the worlde and were fautles and seynge therto that God hathe promysed neyther vs nor them oughte at al but vpon y e professyon of kepyng his lawes whether were more like to be the ryght church and

ceremonyes of Moses seme to be as holy as wel to plese God as the ceremonyes of oures The thynges whiche they added to the ceremonyes of Moyses were of the same kynde as those ceremonyes were and no more to be rebuked then the ceremonyes of Moyses As for as ensāple yf Moyses bade washe a table or a dyshe when an vnclene worme had crepte theron the pharyseys dyde washe the table with a wete cloute before euery refection leste any vnclene thynge hade touched them vnwares to all men as we put vnto our tythes a mortuarye for all forgotten tythes what was then the wyckednes of the pharyseys verely the leuen of theyr gloses to the morall lawes by whiche they corrupte the commaundemētes and made them no more Godes and theyr false fayth in the ceremones that y e bare worke was a sacrefyce and a

they thē selues ether euery where were the chefe rulers or so sate in the hartes of the rulers that theyr worde was beleued to be the worde of God what other thynge coulde it be to preache agaynste all suche and to condemne theyr ryghtwysnesse for the mooste damnable synne that can be than to seme to goo aboute to destroye the lawe and the prophetes what other thynge can such a precher seme to be before y e blynde worlde then heretycke scysmatycke sedicyous possessed with the deuel and worthy of shame moste vyle and deth moste cruel And yet these must be fyrsterebuked and theyr false
