appear_v to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o people_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o age_n let_v the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n be_v peruse_v and_o it_o will_v easy_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v never_o heretic_n so_o horrible_a nor_o schismatic_n so_o pernicious_a but_o that_o they_o have_v number_n of_o the_o people_n to_o follow_v they_o even_o of_o the_o selfsame_o people_n that_o before_o embrace_v the_o true_a and_o sincere_a doctrine_n oâ—_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n do_v forewarn_v his_o scholar_n timothy_n hereof_o and_o as_o it_o be_v arm_v he_o against_o this_o temptation_n say_v erit_fw-la tempus_fw-la cum_fw-la sanam_fw-la doctrinam_fw-la non_fw-la sustinebunt_fw-la 4._o etc_n etc_n the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o they_o will_v

teacher_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n even_o such_o as_o will_v satisfy_v their_o fancy_n and_o apply_v themselves_o to_o their_o humour_n my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o condemn_v all_o the_o people_n of_o this_o crime_n i_o know_v there_o be_v many_o both_o constant_a and_o godly_a but_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o most_o part_n and_o i_o declare_v that_o which_o most_o common_o come_v to_o pass_v it_o be_v report_v of_o one_o polycletus_n a_o cunning_a image_n maker_n that_o he_o frame_v two_o image_n the_o one_o according_a to_o art_n the_o other_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o people_n and_o when_o he_o have_v finish_v they_o he_o bring_v they_o forth_o to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o passer_n by_o that_o he_o may_v hear_v their_o judgement_n of_o they_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v contrary_a to_o his_o expectation_n that_o the_o image_n make_v according_a to_o art_n be_v praise_v even_o of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o other_o dispraise_v whereat_o polycletus_n marvel_n say_v unto_o the_o people_n atque_fw-la bane_n quam_fw-la tantopere_fw-la laudatis_fw-la ego_fw-la feci_fw-la eam_fw-la quam_fw-la utuperatis_fw-la vos_fw-la fecistis_fw-la this_o which_o you_o so_o great_o commend_v i_o myself_o make_v that_o which_o you_o so_o discommend_v you_o yourselves_o have_v make_v mean_v that_o he_o make_v that_o which_o be_v make_v according_a to_o art_n and_o that_o the_o people_n make_v that_o which_o be_v frame_v according_a to_o their_o fancy_n so_o that_o sometime_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o the_o people_n judge_v aright_o &_o mislike_v their_o former_a fancy_n though_o it_o be_v most_o rare_o i_o speak_v this_o for_o two_o principal_a cause_n the_o one_o be_v that_o no_o man_n depend_v upon_o the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v so_o inconstant_a and_o variable_a for_o as_o basill_n centes_fw-la say_v he_o that_o will_v study_v to_o please_v the_o people_n have_v need_n to_o be_v like_a unto_o that_o sophister_n of_o egypt_n which_o can_v transform_v himself_o when_o he_o list_v into_o any_o kind_n of_o form_n or_o shape_n the_o other_o be_v to_o admonish_v the_o people_n of_o god_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o crime_n whereunto_o they_o be_v so_o natural_o incline_v not_o to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n not_o to_o be_v delight_v with_o such_o teacher_n as_o study_v to_o satisfy_v their_o foolish_a affection_n lest_o it_o prove_v true_a that_o be_v common_o say_v incertam_fw-la scinditur_fw-la studia_fw-la in_o contraria_fw-la vulgus_fw-la the_o
