A pistle to the Christen reader The revelation of Antichrist. Antithesis

The Pope and Bishops say also that they are good shepherds / how be it they pill and shear their sheep so nigh / that they leave not one look of wool on their backs. And in all points may be likened unto the shepherds that Zechariah prophesied of / which sayeth / I shall raise up a shepherd in the earth / which shall not visit tho things that are forsaken / and shall not seek that which is gone astray / neither yet heal the diseased / nor nourish and maintain that which standeth / but such a shepherd that shall nourish him self and not the sheep and crieth out of him saying O thou shepherd and idol / think you that this shepherd will give his life for his sheep?

The Pope and Bisshopes saye also that they are good shepardes / how be it they pille and shere their shepe so nighe / that they leve not one loke of wolle on theyr backes. And in all poyntes maye be likened vnto the shepardes that Zacharias prophesied of / which sayeth / I shall reyse vppe a sheparde in the erth / which shall not visite tho thinges that are for saken / and shal not seke that which is gone astraye / nother yet heale the discased / nor norysche and mayntayne that which stondeth / but soche a sheparde that shall norysh him silf and not the shepe and cryeth out of him sayinge O thou sheparde and idoll / thinke you that this sheparde will geve his lyffe for his shepe?

¹lxxiiij. Christ sayeth / Desyre you not to be called master for you have but one master which is Christ / And all you are brothers.
