domino quod tradidi uobis I haue receyued of our lorde whiche I haue by tradition delyuered vnto you Whereby and by that foloweth when he saith Cetera cum venero disponam I shall ordre the reste when I come it appereth he hadde taught the Corrinthians the summe of this hygh mistery and the vse of it without writyng before and wolde adde more whē he came whichmore he taught and yet we haue no wrytynge of it but the churche hath not forgotten it but hath taught it without writynge as she receiued it And it appeareth in that epistle of S. Paule that rehersynge suche tradicion as they had receiued of hym he blameth and reproueth them for the not obseruation of it And thus muche for the worde institution that pleaseth which scripture hath not and the worde tradicion abhorred that scripture hathe so as wordes go but by fauour as this matter is hādled But y e matter of this obiectiō must be aunswered seriousely which is grounded vpon the texte of scripture Frustra colūt me doctrinis hominum They worshippe me in vayne wyth the doctrine of men the true sense wherof is all oute of thys purpose and the vse of thys scrypture as it is mysvnderstanded serueth to ouerturne all For the churche is congregate of men and women whyche both be comprehended vnder that worde men And all the outwarde teachynge in this churche hathe ben by men All thappostles sent to teache the gospell were mē Saynt Paule at his conuersion frome darkenes to lyght when it was said to him y t it shuld be tolde hym what he shuld do then was Ananias by god ordred to go to Paule and declare what he shuld do Moyses leader of y e synagoge y e figure of our church was a mā And the prophetes were men So as if god be worshypped in vayne by teachinge of men Inanis est fides nostra our fayth is a vayne thynge whiche is ex auditu of hearing and taughte vs by men men I saye as ministres to god wherof god is thauthor à quo omne datum optimum et omne donum perfectum Christ sayd Sine me nihil potestis facere But hereby appereth y t this text hath another vnderstandynge and the worde men not to signifie the hole numbre of men so as it shuld comprehend eche man throughly how so euer they be qualified but onely the corrupte state of man seuered from god and his church in christ of whiche hole state not endued w t goddes grace it is sayde Omnis homo mendax All men be lyers That is to saye all suche as haue not putte vpon them Christe who is truthe And frustra colunt me doctrinis hominū They worshyp me in vayne with the teachynges of suche as remayne in the state of men onelye and then teache their owne of them selfe For all suche teachynge is lyke the teacher that is to say carnall For the carnall man non percipit ea quae sunt spiritus deus est spiritus in spiritu adoratur and therefore god is worshipped in vaine with the teachinge of men For it hathe the pretence of worshyppe and is not directed to hym but onelye deuysed to vpholde worldelye polycye Suche deuises had Numa pompilius with the Romaines and afore him Licurgus with the Lacedemonians and of late Mahomete with the Turkes and more lately all such as haue taken vpon them to vnderstande the scriptures alone and them selfe alone deuised howe they wold haue god worshipped after their fashion withoute noyse or brute without the compasse of our eares or eyes only by readynge that they vnderstande not sauyng some be so ful of knowledge as they encombre the companye more with their harse rude voice in prattelynge then the parysshe clerke with his horse breste in singinge Of all these sortes of mens teachinges which be mens deuises seuered frō Christes churche maye be sayde frustra me colūt doctrinis hominum But such men as be membres of Christes mysticall body in his churche and haue the place of ordering and teaching in the same vnto whome other are bounde to obeye and gyue eare vnto them suche men be comprehended in this text Frustra colunt me doctrinis hominum But he that cōtemneth those thinges that they teache agreablye to the truthe receyued non hominem spernit sed deū who saith Obey such as haue the ordre of you and obedience is preferred al other sacrifices wherw t god is worshipped not invaine but meritoriouselye And therefore that texte alledged agaynste the teachinge in christes churche is as grossely abused as a key to cleaue logges For if the doctryne be not repugnaunt to the scripture or the custome suche as hyndreth not gods glory it can not be in vaine that maketh to oure edificacion procedeth from authoritie which hath power to rule and leade vs whereby we be all directed to do one thyng to declare sette forthe that we be one bodye wherein god is glorified accordynge as Chryst sayd Vt videāt opera vestra bona glorificent deū qui in coelis est And so when S. Paule ordered the women to be couered in y e churche to signifie her subiection and that she had ones offended in her preuarication agaynst her husbād and god and with presumption to haue knowledge was the ruine of mankynd and furder ordered her to kepe sylence in y e congregation this text of frustra colūt me doctrinis hominum yf it had bene then written wold not haue serued the women to replye and saye These were small matters whyche god regardeth not and therfore sayd Frustra colunt me doctrinis hominum They worshyppe me in vayne with the doctrines of men For saint Paule was not in the numbre of these men as I sayde before and his authorite was of god and the thynges ordered for a godly purpose wherwith god is in the decente semely ordre of his people duely worshipped and also pleased This matter I haue now spoken wyll be called a digressiō and out of the matter of the sacrament in dede it is not all togyther in it but toward it for I trust hereby that commen weapō shall be layde asyde of frustra colunt me doctrinis hominum whiche manye had in their mouthe as they haue a blunt dagger by their syde to be sene to speake scripture though it be nothing to the purpose And now I wyl com to the institution of christ of the holy sacrament And here men must take heede that they be not deceyued in the word institutiō as signifieng furder vnto them then the scriptures do testyfye For yf by the worde institution shulde be signyfyed a precise ordre sette forth with all the circumstaunce in the nature of a precyse lawe signifienge that it muste be frome thenseforth so obserued and none otherwise whych matter the worde institution semeth to include and soundethe so in common
