Some other defy, and spit at the holy gospel of our Saviour Christ, and refuse the Covenant of everlasting life. Some other for lack of knowledge, follow after wilful & blind masters, and become Arians or Pelagians, and thus they blaspheme the Son of God. Some other give themselves over to their own affections, and as he saith, rejoice and triumph in their filthiness, without fear of God, without conscience of sin, and so tread down the blood of the testament under their feet: and this do they for lack of teaching, because they have not learned men, and preachers to show them what they should do.

O, saith our Saviour Christ the good shepherd and Bishop of our souls, my harvest is beaten down and lost, and there is none that will go abroad and save it. My people run headlong to their own destruction, not of malice but of very simplicity, only because they are not taught, because they know not my father nor me. Alas, it is not my fathers will, that any of them should be lost.
