will he gape while thou puttest sonde as holysalt in his mouth / if thou shewe him no reason therof. He had as lefe be smered with onhalowed butter as anoynted with charmed oyle if his soule be not taught to vnderstonde some whate therbye / and so forth.

But the worlde captyvateth his witte and aboute the lawe of god maketh him wonderful imaginacions vnto which he so fast cleaveth that ten Iohan Baptistes were not able to dispute them out of his hed. He beleveth that he loveth god because he is readie to kille a turcke for his sake that beleveth better in god then he / whom god also commaundeth vs to loue and to leave nothinge vnsought / to winne him vnto the knowlege of the truth / though with the losse of oure lyves. He supposeth that he loveth his neyghboure as moch as he is bounde / if he be not actuallye angrye with him / whom yet he wil not helpe frelye with an halfpenye but for avantage / or vayneglorye or for a wordlie purposse. If any man haue displeased him / he kepeth his malice in and will not chafe him silfe aboute it till he se an occasion to avenge it craftelye and thinketh that well ynough. And the rulars of the worlde he obeyeth thinketh he / when he flatereth them and blindeth them with giftes and corrupteth the officers with rewardes and begyleth the lawe with cautels and sotiltyes. And because the loue of god & of his neyghboure which is the spirite and the liffe of all lawes and wherfore all lawes are made / is not writen in his harte / therfore in all inferioure lawes and in all worldlye ordinaunces is he betell blinde. If he be commaunded to absteyne from wyne / that will he observe vnto the deeth to / as the charter house monkes
