Whereas ye make preaching of the Gospel to be the Keys, how call ye the Priest Judge in this case? Preach ye never so much, the conscience of man being so secrete a thing as it is, how can ye judge, who inwardly and throughly repenteth, and who repenteth not? And though one repent, and be sorry, and have remorse of his former life, though he look unto the light of the Gospel as ye say, and believe in Christ, what then? how can ye judge of such a Person?* Do ye know his heart by looking in his face?
VVhereas ye make preachinge of the Gospel to be the Keies, howe cal ye the Prieste Iudge in this case? Preache ye neuer so mutche, the conscience of man beinge so secrete a thinge as it is, howe can ye iudge, who in wardly and throughly repenteth, and who repenteth not? And though one repente, and be sory, and haue remorse of his former life, though he looke vnto the light of the Gospel as ye say, and beleue in Christe, what then? howe can ye iudge of sutche a Persone?* Do ye knowe his harte by lokinge in his face?
- *And do ye know his heart by tooting in his ear?And doo ye knovv his harte by tootinge in his eare?
