But lest ye should conceive over great opinion of so small a matter, & think, there can be none other Apparel meet, and comely for the Clergy, but only yours, or, that without the same, the whole Church of Christ must needs go to waste: may it like you therefore to remember, what y• Ancient Father Origen hath written of you in this behalfe: 1Non solùm apud Judaeos, sed etiam apud nos, multos est inuenire, peccata huiusmodi peccantes, & glutientes Camelos, in eo, quòd maxima delicta committunt. Et oportet huiusmodi homines frequenter considerare, Quomodò in rebus minimis Religionem suam ostendant: Et bene eos Hypocritàs appellat: We may find, not only amongst the Jews, but also amongst our selves, men y• offend in such faults, swallowing down whole Camels, in that they Commit great offences. And we ought well to mark such manner of Men, how they countenance out their Religion with small matters. Very well, and justly Christ calleth them Hypocrites.
