if they put but their hand to wickedness, touch it with one finger, and not put to their shoulders; so is it not only unlawful not to do good, but also not to work together in good. And as the man that lusteth after a woman, committeth adultery, but she is clear: so those that give not witness to the Truth, though it prevail, have to themselves overthrown the Truth; and those that have given witness to it, though the Truth fall, to them it standeth. But that is flat without all exception, He that is not with me, is against me. Yet some have answered this place unto me in private conference with that other place, He that is not against me, is with me: So then, if ye give a voice, and not against the Truth, ye are with it▪ Mark, of ⟨p. 730⟩whom Christ speaketh, of one that was no disciple, that had not given his name to Christ, of him Christ saith: If he be not against us, he is with us. As if one be of another land, if he be not against the Prince, he is with him; but if he be a subject, if he be not with the prince, he is against him, and shall sustain the punishment of a rebel.1
if they put but their hand to wickednesse, touch it with one finger, and not put to their shoulders; so is it not onely vnlawfull not to doe good, but also not to worke together in good. And as the man that lusteth after a woman, cōmitteth adulterie, but she is cleere: so those that giue not witnes to the Truth, thogh it preuaile, haue to themselues ouerthrowne the Truth; and those that haue giuē witnes to it, thogh the Truth fall, to them it standeth. But that is flat without all exception, He that is not with me, is against me. Yet some haue answered this place vnto me in priuate conference with that other place, He that is not against me, is with me: So then, if ye giue a voice, and not against the Truth, ye are with it▪ Marke, of ⟨p. 730⟩whom Christ speaketh, of one that was no disciple, that had not giuen his name to Christ, of him Christ saith: If he be not against vs, he is with vs. As if one be of another land, if he be not against the Prince, he is with him; but if he be a subiect, if he be not with the prince, he is against him, and shall sustaine the punishment of a rebell.
