may be sufficiente for vs to do as other haue done before vs / and to kepe the custome of the place And thus in conclusion obedience shall haue no place excepte it were by conpulsion / And I report me Agayne po●erte what maner of obedience that is They done also professe / and promise wylfull pouerte / but as sone as theyr nouisshipe is past and some before they take stipen selary and wages / as seculer prestes done some more some lesse And therwith and also with suche money and gyftes as theyr frendes done gyue them in almes / and suche also as they done wynne and gete by theyr bodely laboure / or by any other waye and meane / they done therwith bye and sell / dyce / karde and drynke / generally what they wyll at more propre lyberte / and more nere vnto them selfe / than ben worldly ꝑsones / and whan they come abrode they ben well appoynted / and lacke nothynge to be desyred Theyr kynne and frendes ben setforth and promoted with the best / and yet done they call this pouerte Agayne Chastite And as for theyr thyrde vowe chastite howe so euer they done professe and promyse it / they kepe it but slenderly / whiche thynge is so euidēte that it nedeth no farther profe And surely so is it of al the other as you may se perceyue so opēly / that none excuse can be made / wherfore all thoughe it were a lawfull thynge to make these vowes / yet were it better that none were made / excepte they were better kepte natwithstandynge ▪ they that can fynde no maner of grounde nor auctorite / in all the lawe of god / olde / nor newe / that any such vowes were made ne shuld be made And finally it is agayne good reason / and contrary vnto the comune welthe / that suche ꝑsones shulde be suffred to gyue away / and to forsake theyr owne goodes and landes / and thā to lyue in slouth / and mere / and clene ydelnes These ben the wordes and reasons of the heretikes ¶ Nowe speketh the auctoure vnto the reders GOod deuoure reders herers / I byseche you be nat slaūdered ne offended nor any thynge meruayle or doute that I set forthe the reasōs of the heretikes so playne and extremely for the more strōger and vnassoylable that a reason dothe appere in settynge forth / the more feble and of lesse auctorite is it / whan it is by the trouth assoyled for of a surety these reasons wherby these heretikes as aduersaries and enemies of christe / done blaspheme detracte holy religion / and so done delude / deceyue / corrupte the symple myndes of many deuoute persones done seme very stronge as surely founded groūded vpon the trouthes of scripture / as all heresies ben / but whan they ben tried well loked vpon they ben proued in dede ful of falshede for whā they haue for theyr grounde and fyrste or chefe argumēt / put a trouth of scripture than done they subtelly craftely brynge in an other proposition or sentence / whiche scolemē done call a minore / that is to meane a seconde proposition / where vpon with the other that went byfore they done conclude and proue / or rather done seme to proue theyr purpose and heresy whiche seconde proposition is euermore an heresy / or vterly false / and that proposition done / they with out probation or profe / suppose for a trouth whiche in dede is false / so done they cōclude a falshed or an heresy / that to the symple and vnlerned persones / dothe seme true and so ben they blynded and deceyued / as you shall euydentely se perceyue ī the proces that shall folowe Take pacience I beseche you for I muste nede reherse many thynges agayne that byfore ben sayd to make the answere playne vnto euery ꝑsone ¶ Of the answers after order / vnto the reasons of the heretikes before written agayne religion / and the essenciall vowes therof / and fyrste agayne theyr fyrst reason generall The seconde Chapitre FIrst you muste perceyue what thynge is theyr minde and purpose to conclude and proue as a trouth / and to perswage and cause the people to byleue the same That is that al religions wherin these vowes ben made and professed / and consequently al maner of vowes or boūdes of promyse / shulde be cōtrary vnto the lawe of Christe and vnto the liberte of the same And to ꝓue this by / they done put forth a proposition or sentence / whiche amonge scolemen is called a maior / that is a chefe or principall proposition or sentence put for a grounde of trouthe / wherby with the seconde proposition the conclusion may be proued And that maiore or chefe sentence / is here in theyr reason / this in some / that as our lorde god the father of heuen delyuered the chyldren of Israel his chosen people by the hande of Moyses out of the lande of Epipte / from the captiuite of Pharao So dyd he by our lorde and sauiour Iesu delyuer all christianes from the bondage and thraldome of the dyuell / and out of the lande and realme of synne wherin all mankynde was bonde and thrale by the trespasse of Adam So that nowe by the deth of Christe and his other actes of our saluacion / we ben discharged of the cures rigoure of the olde lawe / and restored put vnto fredome vnto the liberte of the gospell This is nowe theyr fyrste propositiō whiche is all true and catholike / well grounded vp on the trouthe of scripture But nowe take good hede vnto the minore Theyr secōde ꝓpositiō where they say / alas alas / with many gay termes to moue the people to byleue them / but all they done saye of theyr owne brayne / and malicious mynde / without any grounde or auctorite / without any good reason / alas saye they that we ben ouerthrowen / and haue forsaken the moste swete pleasaunte fredome and liberte of the gospell / and ben come nowe vnto more thraldome and bondage than euer were the chyldren of Israel in Egipte / all these wordes and those that done folowe ben spokē by theyr rethorike whiche is a science / crafte / or connynge / to perswade theyr purpose wheder it be true or false / for in dede they ben very false / whiche shal be euidente if you take good hede vnto these two termes liberte / and bondage / or fredome and and thraldome / for in these two termes they done meruaylously delude / deceyue / and begyle theyr audience / for they done declare them vnto the people after the carnall letter / cōmune vse of the carnal and vnlerned persones / for they done take bōdage thraldome / for a let or with drawynge of the carnall appetite or sensuall wyll desyre / as whan they ben letted to do what theyr bodely wyll dothe

done for them selfe or theyr frendes The open vowe is whan the persone doth make it outwarde in the hearynge and presence of other ꝑsones And this may be ī two maners / one caled a symple vowe or syngle vowe / and the other a solempne vowe The symple open vowe is made without solemnite of the churche / yet ī the presence of ꝑsones as dyd Saul Iepte / and many other in holy scripture 1. Reg. 14. D. Iudic. 11. G The solemne vowe is / that vowe that is made ī the p̄sence of god and man / in the face of the churche / by the auctorite ordinaunce of the same / as in the holy sacramēt of baptisme / of matrimonie / and suche other by the auctorite of bothe the lawes / natwtstandynge these solemne vowes maye be made secretely And where the circūstaūces of the open solemnizaciō she wynge of the same can nat be had / they ben as good valeante done stande in as great strengthe and effecte as the other / all one vnto god / byfore him all of lyke bonde Whan the outwarde solēnitie as I s●●● can nat by had / as by case if a persone wold make his vowe in full feythe to be baptized that byfore was a hethen persone / yet were takē sodeynly by any chaūce vnto dethe the vowe and ꝓmyse were in that case sufficient / as good as thoughe in dede he had ben baptized / so of all other vowes whiche I say byfore god ben of lyke effecte all one But so ben they nat byfore mā and byfore the worlde For the vowe that is made openly in the face of the churche muste be kepte accordynge vnto the condicion / and after the maner of the promyse made ī the same vowe / vnder suche peynes and ieopardy as the churche dothe assigne and appoynt there vnto But the vowes priuely made maye be broken without any suche open punisshement of man / all thoughe they nothynge auoyde therby the peyne and punisshement of god The reason here of is / bycause that man dothe onely se / perceiue / and knowe these thynges that openly done appere withoutforth / but god dothe beholde and knoweth the herte of mā al the secretꝭ therof / for nothynge may be hyd nor couered from hym And therfore dothe he priuely punisshe / that is priuely offended and mysdone For byfore god the consent of the soule dothe make the vowe rather than the wordes Thus haue we shewed what thynge a vowe is / of the diuersities of laufull vowes For with vnlaufull or vndiscrete vowes we no thynge here medle also we haue of the maner and due fourme of the same / whiche thynge considered nowe remayneth to shewe proue for our purpose / howe the Apostles dyd make these vowes kepe the same whiche thynge the very letter of the gospell doth testifie / nat onely that they vndertoke thē by the coūsayle of Christe in cōsent alone / but also in outward worde / as doth appere in the gospell of Matthewe also of Luke Matth. 19. Luce. 18. Where īmediately after our sauiour had gyuen the coūsayle shewed the ieoꝑdy of thē that caled there vnto / dyd forsake the same and also of the meruaylouse difficultie and hardnes to come vnto saluacion with abūdaūce of ryches they forth with answered in outwarde wordes / saynge Syr beholde / se / perceyue / knowe / that we by thy counsayle and commaundemente haue lefte and forsakē all maner of thynges that we had or myght haue / and also we haue folowed the / that is after saynt Hierome vpon the same letter / we haue lefte and forsaken our owne wyll / to folowe the / and to be at thy wyll in suche due obedience as thou haddest vnto god the father Ieronimꝰ Syth thā sayd they we haue thus forsaken all what shall it auayle vs / what profyte shal we haue therby / and what shal be our rewarde Our sauiour Christe answered here to by a maner of othe depe affirmaciō Saynge Amen dico uobis c. I do a certein you or ꝓmise for a surety said he that you that haue folowed me shal be with me iuges of all the hole worlde And all maner of persones that for my sake wyll leue forsake his kynne / father and mother / sister and brother / wyfe chyld / landes and pocessions / shall haue therfore moche more than they done forsake / and yet ouer that / shal they haue lyfe and blysse euerlastynge Note and marke well the wordes of the gospell / whan our sauiour had shewed the Apostles what shulde be the rewarde of theyr obedience in folowynge hym / he shewed forthwith what shulde be the perfection of that obedience / that is to say nat onely to lyue selfe wyll by obedience / but also to forsake the flesshe / that is Domum The house and auncestours wherof we come by kynred / that is father and mother and also those with whome we ben familier / and ioyned in carnall affection all thoughe naturall / as brother syster / wyfe and chylde / and this apperteineth vnto chastite / and that foloweth landes / fyldes / and possions / dothe apperteyne vnto wylfull pouerte What nowe can be more pleyne than that the Apostles of Christe dyd nat onely in consent of herte mynde but also in expresse wordes receyue the counsayle of Christe / and folowe his calynge vnto the hyghe perfection / and these .iii. essenciall vowes And so dyd they perseuer / and kepe thē constantly all theyr lyfe tyme / without violence or spotte Thus appereth bryghtely contrarie vnto these blasphemers that al these .iii. vowes / haue foundacion groūde vpon holy scripture in bothe the testamentes olde newe / natwtstādynge they ben as we sayd byfore perfections of counsayle and nat of cōmaundemēt And therfore no persones ben bounde to enterpryse and to take these perfections but only at selfe libertie and fre wyll / excepte they ben caled / by speciall election there vnto / as the Apostles were For than I thynke verely that ī suche case they were boūde to receyue them after due profe of the sayd calynge and election So that if they shulde forsake that calynge they shulde be in ieopardy to be refused and forsaken of god moche more than shulde they be in peryll and ieopardy that haue receyued the calyng and made vowe and profession vpon the same argument Matth. 19. Luce. 18. Here of I take of the wordꝭ of our sauiour as in the places byfore rehersed / where he sayd that no persone puttynge his hande vnto the ploughe / lokynge becke is apte for the kyngdome of heuen / that is ment of suche persones as bene caled by the inwarde mocion of the spirite / and done gyue consent there vnto / and yet wyll nat for bycause of the pleasure they haue ī the worlde or
