nother in the waye of christ. And god they serue in the spirite only / in loue / hope faith and dreade.

When the greate multitude that be called and not chosen / Caim / Ismael / Esau and carnall Israel that serue God night and daye with bodyly seruice and holy workes soch as they were wont to serue their Idoles with all / behold litle flocke that they come not forth in the seruice of god / they rore out / where art thou? whi comest thou not forth & takest holy watere? wherfore saith litle flocke. To put awaye thy sinnes. Nay brethern / God forbid that ye shuld so thinke / Christes bloud only washeth awaye the synnes of all that repent and beleue. Fire / salt / water / bred / oyle be bodyly thynges / geuen vn to man for his necessite and to helpe his brother with / & god that is a spirite can not be serued therwith. Nether can soch thinges enter in to the soule to purge hir. For gods worde only is hir purgacion. No saye they / are not soch thinges halowed. And saye we not in the halowenge of them that whosoeuer is sprinkled with the water or eateth of the bred / shall receaue health of soule and body? Sir the blessynges promised vnto Abraham for all nacions are in christ / and out of his bloud we must fett them / and his word is the breed / salt and water of oure soules. God hath geuen you no power to geue thorow youre charmes soch vertue vn to vnsensible creatures / which he hath halowed him selfe and made them all cleane (for the bodyly vse of them that beleue) thorow his worde of promese and permission and oure thankes geuinge. God saith / if thou beleue saynt Ihons Gospell / thou shalt be saued / and not for the beringe of it aboute the with so many crosses /
