And the same Saint Jerome toucheth the same matter some what more freely in his treaty of the life of Clerks to Nepotian, saying thus: Many build walls, and erect pillars of Churches, the smooth marbles do glister, the roof shineth with Gold, the altar is set with precious stone: But of the ministers of Christ, there is no election or choice. Neither let any man object and allege against me the rich temple that was in Jury, the table, candlesticks, incense, ships, platters, cups, mortars, and other things all of gold. Then were these things allowed of the Lord, when the Priests offered sacrifices, and the blood of beasts was accounted the redemption of sins. Howbeit, all these things went before in figure, and they were written for us, upon whom the end of the world is come. And now when that our Lord being poor, hath dedicate the poverty of his house, let us remember his cross, and we shall esteem riches as mire or dung. What do we marvel at that which Christ calleth wicked Mammon? Whereto do we so highly esteem and love that, which saint Peter doth for a glory testify that he had not. Nytherto saint Jerome.
And the same Saint Jerome toucheth the same matter some what more freelye in his treatie of the lyfe of Clarkes to Nepotian, saying thus: Many buylde walles, and erect pyllers of Churches, the smoothe marbles do glister, the roofe shyneth with Golde, the aulter is set with precious stone: But of the ministers of Christe, there is no election or choyce. Neither let any man obiecte and aleage agaynst me the ryche temple that was in Jurie, ye table, candlestickes, incense, shippes, platters, cuppes, morters, and other thinges all of golde. Then were these thinges allowed of the Lorde, when the Priestes offered sacrifices, and the blood of beastes was accompted the redemption of sinnes. Howbeit, all these thinges went before in figure, and they were written for vs, vppon whom the ende of the worlde is come. And nowe when that our Lorde beyng poore, hath dedicate the pouertie of his house, let vs remember his crosse, and we shall esteeme ryches as myre ordongue. What do wee maruell at that whiche Christe calleth wicked Mammon? Whereto do we so hyghlye esteeme and loue that, whiche saint Peter doth for a glorie testifie that he had not. Nytherto saint Jerome.
