A cōparison betwene the Olde learnynge the Newe ¶ Translated out of latin in Englysh by Wyliam Turner Prynted in Sowthwarke by me Iames Nicolsō Anno. 1537.

the choyse of meates Of fastynge Of the difference of dayes Of prayer Of vowes Of counselles Of matrimony Of bisshoppes Of ceremonies Of mans traditions Of councels lawes made by a multitude of

boke reade and beholde For it preferreth the learnyng most olde ¶ Vrbanus Regius to a certayne frende of his wysheth CHRIST oure ryghteousnesse WHan our saueour in the fyrst of Marke had caste out of a man an vncleane sprete the Iewes were astōnyed sayenge what new learnynge is this It was thought new to those wretches for lacke of knowlege of scripture which of all thynges was oldest that is to saye the Gospell the which was longe tofore promysed by the prophetes in the scripture of the sōne of God Iesu Christ The same thynge was sayd to Paul whan he preached Christ at Athene they toke him led hym to Marcis strete sayenge May we not knowe what new learnyng this is that ye teach for ye brynge in to our eares new thynges Was the teachynge of the Apostles I praye you strayght waye new because it was thought new to the proude gentyles swellynge and bounde with theyr carnall and fleshly wysedome Euen suche lyke thinges in these later dayes do they al suffer which teach purely the Gospel of the gracyous fauour and glory of God Which do not abuse the worde of euerlastynge truth for auaūtage but as it were of syncernesse but as it were of god so speak we by Christ in the syght of God This is the new doctrine saye our aduersaries lately deuysed f●rnyshed in the shoppes or workhouses of heretikes Let vs abyde styl in our old fayth Let the holynesse of our fathers the authorite of the coūcels the consent of the longe tyme so many ages holde vs in the wayes of our fathers Let the heretikes go shake theyr eares with theyr new learnynge which spronge and rose vp of late Those thynges which we teach came not all from Christe and the Apostles by wrytynge neuerthelesse they came by a faythfull reuelacyon shewynge vnto vs. To whom I wyll answere none otherwyse then Christ answered the Saduces Ye erre sayeth he and ar ignoraunt in the scripture And wolde to God that I myghte purchace and obtayne so much equyte of a braynlesse kynde of mē as one heythen man sheweth to another that is yf they wolde fyrst heare the cause or matter and then afterwarde yf it please them condemne hym that is accused Now they condemne innocentes without ony hearynge of theyr cause And they crye vnto vs which defēde the worde of God with nothynge but galowes ropes and fyre not witesafyng vs the leest corner of the catholyke church In so much that I wonder of what sprete they be of For that gentle and pleasaunt sprete of Christ the which fedeth the mysticall body seketh for the health and not for the destruccyon of them that erre Charite the frute of the holy goost as the apostell sayeth doth thynke none euell but is glad and reioyceth with the trueth beleueth all thynges trusteth all thynges Surely they that set asyde the blynde iudgement of the affeccyon and loke earnestly vpon the matter iudge otherwyse of vs. For the olde aūcient fathers dyd neuer knowe or heare tell of the moost parte of those thynges whiche oure condemners do teache then ye maye be sure that theyr learnynge ought not to be rekened for olde learnynge and apostolicall Furthermore not euery thynge that the olde fathers wrote sauoureth of the syncernesse and purenesse of the sprete of the Apostles Certayne thynges which were deuised with in these foure hundreth yeares yee rather euen of late haue bene receaued by and by of them as soone as they were made namely this is theyr learnynge and so olde that they desyre for this that the Gospell almoost shulde be cast awaye and coūted as a new teachynge and learnynge Therfore I wolde that they shulde knowe and vnderstande that we do teache and preache the olde and the trewe heauenly doctryne of the sprete that is the gospell of god The greate mystery of holynesse and godlynesse that god was declared in the fleshe was iustified in sprete sene of the angelles preached to the gentyles that cōfidence was geuē to him in the worlde was receaued in to glory What saye you be these newes God dyd predestinate vs that he myght chose and purches vs to be his sōnes by Christe Iesus in his owne selfe accordynge to the pleasure of his wyl that the glory of the grace of God myght be praysed whereby he made vs welbeloued thorowe his welbeloud by whome we haue redēpciō thorowe his bloude forgeuenesse of synnes accordyng to the ryches of his grace This was the fathers counsell vpon vs before the begynnyng of the worlde that he shuld saue vs and calle vs with an holy vocacion not accordyng to our workes but accordyng to his purpose and grace whiche is geuen vnto vs thorowe Iesus Christ before the euerlasting times but it is opened and declared nowe by the appearing of our saueour Christ which put deathe away and hathe thorowe the gospel brought forthe the lyfe into lyght and mortalite The which thyng seyng that it was promysed so longe ago by the prophetes at the cōmaundement of the holy gooste and nowe published thorowe al the coastes of the worlde howe dare they for shame call it newe learnyng Ceasse you wycked men and staunche your blasphemyes geue glory and prayse with vs vnto god and enbrace loue as ye ought to do the mysteries of the truthe with deuoute myndes lefte ye be indurate and made harde harted of god with the reprobate and castawayes the which beleue not the truth but alowe vnryghtuousnesse The are is layed at the roote of the trees Wherfore I doynge the offyce of a christen brother haue made a comparyson betwene the newe learnynge and the olde whereby deare brother thou maye easely knowe whether we are called worthely or vnworthely the preachers of new learnyng For so dyd they call vs of late scornynge and of a contempte and you desyred of me to know what I thought best to answer to these braynles and madde fellowes The which thynge seynge that it can not be expressed in an epystell I thought it beste to bestow a few houres in thys matter in these dayes called fastyngam in latyn carnis priuium whiche hath the name of the takyng awaye
the benefites receaued of hym And fyrste wyll I declare the maner of iustificacyon remission of synnes and saluacyon whiche in scripture are all one thynge of whom it doth come and to how many thynges it is applyed Fyrst it is applyed vnto God for Paul sayeth Rom. viii It is God that iustifyeth or maketh ryghteous c. And Ro. iii. That he onely myght be ryghteous and the ryghteous maker of hym which is of the fayth on Iesus Secondarely it is referred vnto Christ Actu iiii sayeth Peter Ther is none other name geuen vnto men vnder heauen in the which we shulde be saued Roma iii. sayeth Paul Without deseruynge are they made ryghteous or iustifyed euen by his grace thorow the redempcyon that is done by Christ Iesu whom God hath set forth for a mercy seate thorow fayth in his bloude to shewe the ryghteousnesse that auayleth before hym c. Thyrdly it is applyed vnto mercy Tit. iii. Not of workes or dedes of ryghteousnes which we wrought but after his mercy he saued vs. Roma viii Therfore whan God wolde shewe wrath and to make his power knowen he brought forth with great pacyence the vessels of wrath which are ordeyned to damnacyon that he myght declare the ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath prepared vnto glory whome he hath called c. Item i. Pet. i. Blessed be God and the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ which accordynge to his great mercy hath begottē vs agayn to a lyuely hope Fourthly it is attributed vnto his eleccyon Ephe. i. Accordynge as he hath chosen vs by hym or euer the fundacyon of the worlde was layed that we shulde be holy and with out blame before him in loue Ioh. xv I haue chosen you and ordyned you that ye go and brynge forth frute .ii. Timo. i. God hath saued vs and called vs wyth an holy callynge not accordynge to oure dedes but accordynge to his owne purpose and grace Fyfthly it is attributed vnto grace Ephe ii By grace are ye saued thorow fayth and that not of youre selues Gala. i. I maruayle that ye are so soone turned from hym that hath called you in the grace of Christ Tit. ii The grace of God that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men hath appeared Syxtly it is assygned vnto the worde Ioh. xv Now are ye clene because of the word which I haue spokē vnto you Esa lv Lyke as the rayne and snow cōmeth downe from heauen and returneth not thyther agayne but watereth the earth maketh it frutfull and grene that it maye geue corne and breade vnto the sower So the worde also that commeth out of my mouth shall not turne agayne voyde vnto me but shall accomplysh my wyll and prosper in the thynge whervnto I shall sende it Seuēthly it is asscrybed vnto fayth as Rom. iii. I speake of the ryghteousnesse before God whiche cōmeth by fayth on Iesus Christ And Roma iiii Vnto hym that beleueth on hym that iustifyeth the vngodly is fayth counted for ryghteousnesse Ro. v. Because that we are iustifyed by fayth we haue peace with God thorow our Lorde Iesus Christ Eyghtly it is attribute vnto good workes as Iac. i.
