folow their damnable wayes / by whom the waye of trouth
shalbe evel spoken of / and
with fayned wordes they shall make marchaundice
ouer you. Now
saith Paul Roma. iij. the law speaketh vn to
them that are vnder the law. And euen so this is spoken of
them that professe the name of christe. Now the pope hath
.x. thousand sectes cropen in / as pied in their consciences as
in their cotes / settynge vpp a thousand maner
workes to be saued by / whych is the denyenge of
Christe. And we se many and all most all to gether folow
their damnable wayes. And in that Peter said that they
shall rayle and blaspheme the trueth / it
foloweth that there shalbe a litle flocke
reserued by the hand of god to testifie the trueth vn to
them or else how coude they rayle on it? And it foloweth
that those raylars shalbe the mightier parte in the world /
or else they durst not do it. Now what truth in christ doeth not the pope rebuke and in settynge vpp false workes denie all to gether? And as for their fayned wordes / where findest thou
in all
the scripture purgatory / shrift penaunce / pardon /pena
culpa / yperdulia and a thousande fayned termes moo? And as
for their marchaundice / loke whether they sell not all gods
lawes and also their awne / and all synne and all Christes
merites and all that a man can thynke. To one he selleth the
faute only and to a nother the faute and the payne to / and
purgeth his purse of his money and his
braynes of his wittes / and maketh him so
beestely / that he can vnderstonde no godly thynge.
