vice_n as_o it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o this_o evil_a have_v be_v this_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o seek_v christ_n in_o his_o word_n &_o in_o his_o sacrament_n and_o his_o spiritual_a grace_n the_o world_n accord_v to_o the_o old_a wont_a thereof_o have_v be_v occupy_v in_o the_o renew_n of_o his_o garment_n shirt_n and_o other_o like_a clout_n and_o in_o so_o do_v have_v leave_v the_o

i_o know_v right_a well_o that_o this_o have_v a_o certain_a kind_n and_o colour_n of_o good_a devotion_n and_o zeal_n while_o some_o allege_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o relic_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o honour_n they_o bear_v to_o he_o &_o for_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v a_o better_a memory_n of_o he_o &_o so_o likewise_o of_o the_o saint_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o all_o seruyce_n of_o god_n invent_v by_o man_n brain_n what_o show_v so_o ever_o it_o have_v of_o wisdom_n be_v not_o withstand_v but_o vanity_n and_o foolishness_n if_o it_o have_v not_o a_o better_a and_o more_o sure_a ground_n than_o our_o seem_a or_o judgement_n moreover_o it_o behove_v to_o weigh_v the_o profit_n that_o may_v come_v thereof_o with_o the_o

contrariwise_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a or_o altogether_o impossible_a that_o thereby_o man_n shall_v not_o decline_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o ydolatry_n for_o man_n can_v not_o keep_v himself_o in_o the_o behold_n and_o handle_v of_o they_o but_o he_o will_v also_o honour_v they_o and_o in_o honour_v they_o there_o be_v no_o measure_n but_o incontinent_a life_n that_o be_v attribute_v unto_o they_o the_o which_o appertain_v only_o to_o jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o to_o speak_v brief_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v the_o desire_n to_o have_v relic_n be_v almost_o never_o without_o suspicion_n and_o that_o worse_o be_v it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o ydolatry_n which_o be_v ordinare_o connex_v and_o join_v therewith_o every_o man_n do_v confess_v that_o the_o cause_n

to_o speak_v of_o the_o sayncte_v here_o yet_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v even_o of_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o for_o he_o protest_v not_o to_o know_v he_o any_o more_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n after_o his_o resurrection_n admonish_v by_o these_o word_n that_o all_o that_o be_v carnal_a in_o jesus_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v forget_v and_o set_v aside_o to_o the_o end_n to_o apply_v and_o set_v our_o affection_n to_o seek_v and_o possess_v he_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n now_o then_o to_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v a_o goodly_a thing_n to_o have_v some_o memorial_n as_o well_o of_o he_o as_o of_o the_o saint_n for_o to_o stir_v up_o to_o devotion_n what_o be_v this_o else_o but_o a_o false_a cloak_n to_o paint_v out_o our_o folishe_a and_o vain_a desire_n which_o be_v ground_v on_o no_o reason_n and_o when_o this_o reason_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v sufficient_a yet_o for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o do_v manifestlye_o repugn_v to_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v pronunce_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n paul_n what_o will_v we_o have_v more_o although_o it_o be_v not_o now_o needful_a to_o dispute_v long_o upon_o this_o point_n to_o wit_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_a to_o have_v relic_n for_o to_o keep_v they_o only_o as_o precious_a thing_n without_o worship_a them_z for_o even_o as_o we_o have_v say_v experience_n show_v that_o the_o one_o be_v almost_o never_o with_o out_o the_o other_o theodosius_n in_o the_o oration_n of_o the_o death_n of_o theodosius_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o saint_n ambrose_n speak_v of_o helen_n mother_n to_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n who_o with_o great_a pain_n and_o great_a expense_n seek_v the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n say_v that_o she_o worship_v only_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v hang_v thereon_o and_o not_o the_o wood_n but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a rare_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o hart_n addict_v to_o any_o kind_n of_o relic_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v &_o that_o one_o do_v not_o by_o &_o by_o defile_v &_o pollute_v himself_o with_o some_o kind_n of_o superstition_n i_o grant_v that_o man_n do_v not_o come_v incontinent_o or_o at_o the_o first_o to_o manifest_v idolatry_n but_o by_o little_a and_o little_o they_o come_v from_o one_o absuse_n to_o another_o even_o untyll_o they_o fall_v to_o the_o extremity_n so_o much_o there_o be_v that_o the_o people_n that_o name_n themselves_o christian_n be_v come_v even_o to_o this_o point_n that_o they_o have_v in_o this_o case_n commit_v as_o great_a ydolatrye_a as_o ever_o do_v the_o heathen_a for_o they_o have_v bow_v themselves_o and_o kneel_v before_o the_o relic_n even_o as_o before_o god_n they_o have_v lyght_v candle_n and_o torch_n in_o sign_n of_o homage_n and_o honour_n they_o have_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o they_o they_o have_v have_v their_o refuge_n to_o they_o as_o though_o the_o virtue_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v be_v enclose_v in_o they_o if_o ydolatry_n consist_v in_o transfer_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n to_o other_o shall_v we_o deny_v this_o to_o be_v ydolatry_n neither_o must_v we_o excuse_v the_o matter_n in_o sayinge_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o disordinat_a zeal_n of_o certain_a rude_a and_o folishe_a people_n or_o of_o simple_a woman_n for_o it_o have_v be_v a_o general_a disorder_n approve_v of_o they_o which_o have_v the_o guide_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n and_o likewise_o they_o have_v place_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o all_o other_o relic_n upon_o the_o high_a altar_n and_o on_o high_a and_o most_o evident_a place_n to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v they_o with_o more_o authority_n honour_v behold_v then_o how_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o folishe_a curiosity_n that_o man_n have_v have_v in_o time_n paste_v to_o make_v a_o treasure_n of_o relic_n be_v come_v even_o to_o this_o most_o manifest_a abomination_n that_o not_o only_a man_n have_v turn_v then selue_o altogether_o from_o god_n for_o to_o occupy_v their_o mind_n on_o vain_a and_o corruptible_a thing_n
with_o great_a assurance_n all_o these_o antiquity_n which_o the_o poor_a idolatour_n that_o be_v about_o we_o think_v that_o they_o have_v what_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o we_o shall_v say_v the_o relic_n be_v bring_v we_o from_o those_o country_n the_o christian_n that_o yet_o remain_v there_o affirm_v that_o they_o have_v they_o and_o deride_v our_o

leave_v the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v not_o care_v neither_o for_o the_o one_o part_n nor_o for_o the_o other_o the_o last_o relic_n that_o appertain_v to_o jesus_n christ_n be_v those_o that_o they_o have_v have_v since_o his_o resurrection_n as_o a_o morsel_n of_o a_o broil_v fish_n which_o saint_n peter_n present_v he_o when_o he_o appear_v to_o he_o on_o the_o border_n of_o the_o sea_n we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o it_o be_v well_o spice_v or_o that_o it_o be_v merueylous_o well_o souss_v that_o it_o can_v be_v preserve_v so_o long_o a_o time_n but_o without_o laughter_n it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o relic_n of_o the_o fish_n which_o they_o have_v prepare_v for_o their_o dinner_n whosoever_o shall_v not_o see_v that_o this_o be_v a_o manifest_a

to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v make_v the_o heap_n more_o great_a they_o have_v join_v thereto_o the_o holy_a penknife_n where_o with_o our_o master_n of_o querne_n be_v not_o content_a but_o do_v
