From unreasonable and evil men. Which conspire against the Lord, and his anointed: which blaspheme that good name that is called upon us. Such were Jannes and Jambres, which resisted Moses in the time of the law. Such were they in the time of the Prophets, which said, The word that thou hast 1spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hear it of thee. But we will do whatsoever thing goeth out of our own mouth, as to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven, as we have done, both we and our fathers, our Kings and our Princes. Such were in the time of the Gospel the Scribes and the Pharisees, Which made the commandment of God, of 2no authority by their tradition. Which turned ⟨p. 396⟩darkness into light, and light into darkness. Such was Alexander the copper smith. Such were others. The whole Scriptures are full of such. They were false prophets, false Apostles, false brethren. They called di•sion in the church. They went out to preach in the name of Christ, but inwardly they were ravening wolves.
