leue that he will worke with their doctrine and medicines & so receaue mine health of the hond of God. And euen so when I praye to man / to helpe me at mine nede / I synne excepte I complayne first to god & shew him my nede & desyre him to moue one or a nother to helpe me / and then when I am holpe / thanke him and receaue it of his hande / in as moch as he moued the herte of him that holpe me and gaue him wherewith and a commaundement to doo it. M. More. Christ is not dishonoured because that they which here preach him truly / shall sitte and iudge with him. Tindale. That to be true the scripture testifieth / but what is that to youre purpose that they which be deed can heare vs and helpe vs? How be it / if master More shuld describe vs those setes /I am sure he wold paynte them aftir the facion of my lorde cardenales holy cheyar / as he doeth God aftir the similitude of worldely tirantes and not accordinge to his awne worde. For they that be worldely & fleshly minded can but fleshly imagen of god all to gether like vn to the similitude of worldely thinges. Master More. The apostles and saintes were prayd so when they were aliue and god not dishonoured. Tindale. What helpeth that your carnall purpose . I haue answered you vn to that and manye thynges moo in the obedience and other places agenst which ye replye not / but kepe youre tune and vn to al thynge singe kokow / kokow / we be the church and can not erre. The appostles had gods word for all that they did and ye none. And yet many dishonoured god and christ for theyr false trust and confidence which they had in the appostles as thou maist se by paul to the corinthi.
