He commendeth the godly for the practise of that which they have learned and seen in him, in that they have received the gospel, and framed their lives accordingly, and have continued steadfast in the same in the midst of persecution. Herein he doth not only lay out himself and the other Apostles for an example: but telleth them that this way is also trodden out by our Lord himself. Who as he is the way, and the light that lighteneth every man which cometh into the world, so did he hear his cross, and did lay down his life for his sheep. Therefore he said to his Disciples, The disciple is not above his Master; 1nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough ⟨p. 22⟩for the Disciple to be as his Master is, and the servant as his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?

Therefore he saide to his Disciples, The disciple is not aboue his Maister; 1nor the seruant aboue his Lorde. It is enough ⟨p. 22⟩for the Disciple to be as his Maister is, and the seruant as his Lorde. If they haue called the maister of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his housholde?
