And who maye make any exposition vpon these wordes but that it must nedes be graunted that Iesu Christ was the sonne of Dauyd / sonne of Abraham And that Abraham begat Isaac But he speke directly agaynst the wordes of the gospell in somoche that if all the clerkes of the worlde wold make any exposytion to the contrarye therof no man were bounden to beleue them And they for that exposytion were worthy to be disseuered fro the company of al faith full people for the lytterall sence is so playne agaynst them / wherin the holyghost is alwaye the very auctour speker that they shulde be without all excuses / for he that resysteth Scrypture / resysteth the holy ghost And so it is vpon this gospell Missus est angelus c. An angell was sent fro god into a cytie of Galylye that had to name Nazareth / to a vyrgin espoused to a man called Ioseph of the house of Dauyd And the name of the vyrgin was Marye And who maye saye therfore that the angell was nat sent fro god to the vyrgī Mary / or that she was nat espoused to Ioseph / or that Ioseph was nat of the house of Dauyd but he playnly denyed the texte for the texte is so playne in it selfe that it nedeth therein no declaracyon And so it is in the moost parte of all the Scrypture / both of the old testament and new But yet there be some other textes in Scrypture whiche be nat so euydente and playne / as those and manye other be / and yet if they be truly vnderstande / accordynge to the mynde of the maker / that is to say / of our maister Christe / the lytterall sence of them is as true as the other that be moste playne / as it is of thys texte Mat. vi Ego dico vobis non iurare omnino I say to you swere nat for euery cause / neyther by heuen / for it is the Throne of god nor by the erthe / for it is the seate for his fete neyther by Hierusalem / for it is the Cytie of the greate kynge / nor by thy heedde thou shalt nat swere for thou canst nat make one here whyte or blacke Let these be youre wordes It is it is / it is natte / it is nat Forsoth whatsoeuer is more thā this / it is of euyl Thus farre goth the sayd text of Mat. vi before rehersed / Also of this texte that is Mar. xvi He that beleueth and is baptysed shal be safe And therfore he that bi reason of the seyd fyrst text Mat. v. wolde thinke it were nat lauful to him to swere in any case / were foule disceiued for ī such coūtreis wher othes haue bē vsed for tryall of the trouth / euery man is boūde to swere accordynge to the lawes for the tryall of the trouth / for els iustyce shulde many tymes perissh And in lykewise if any man by reson of the seyd other text Mat. xvi wolde say that if a man byleued were baptysed / that he shulde be saued though he dyd no good workes / where he had tyme conuenyēt after his baptysme to haue done them / he were also farre disceyued wherfore it wer good for him that wer in dout in those cases or other lyke / as be concernynge scrypture to aske counsell of
