In the seconde chapter / besydes that it is
vntrue this vse to haue bene euer sens the tyme of the
appostles / he maketh many sophisticall reasons about
worshepinge of sayntes reliques and images / and yet
declareth not with what maner worshepe / but iugleth with the terme in comune / as he doeth with this worde church and this word
faith / when the wordes haue diuers
significacions: for al faythes are not one maner faith and
so forth / and therefore he begylyth a mans
vnderstondinge. As if a man said / the boyes
will was good to haue geuen his father ablowe / and a
nother wold inferre / that a good wyll coude be no synne /
and conclude / that a man might lawfully smite his father.
Now is good wyll taken in one sens in the maior and in a
nother in the minor / to vse scolars termes / & therfore the conclusion doeth mocke a mans witte. Then disputeth he /
the seruaunt is honowred for the masters sake / and what is
done to the pore is done to Christ (as the popish shall
once fele / for their so
robbynge them). And the .xij. appostles shall
haue their setes and sitte and iudge with christe (as shall
all that here preach him truely as they did) and Mary that
powred the oyntement on christes heed before his passion /
