true apostles and loued vs after the doctrine of christ /
wold sell their myters / croses / plate / shrynes / iuels
and costly showes to socoure the pore and not robbe them /
of all that was offered vn to them / as they haue done: and
to repare thynges fallen in decaye and ruine in the comen welth /
and not to bedger the realmes wyth false
Idolatrye and imageseruice / that they haue not lefte them
where wyth to beare the cost of the comen charges.

And Morouer when the scribes and phareses taught their awne
doctrine / they satt not vppon Moses sete / but on
their awne. And therfore christ (so far it is off that he
wold haue vs herken vnto mans doctryne) sayde / bewarre of
the leuen of the scribes / phareses and saduces which is
their doctrine and rebuked them for their doctrine and
brake yt hym selfe and taught hys dysciples so to doo and excused them / and sayd of all tradicions / that what soeuer his
heuenly
father had not planted / shuld be plucked vp by
the rotes. And therto
all the persecucion that the appostles had of
the Iewes / was for breakynge of tradycyons.

Oure prelates ought to be oure saruauntes as the appostles
were / to teach vs christes doctrine / and not lordes ouer
vs / to oppresse vs with theyr awne. Peter calleth it

whych necessite and brotherly loue required. And paul
rebuketh his corinthians for their
ouer moch obedience and the galathyans alsoo and
