This is a very poor help in deed. M. Harding here is fain to resemble the Bishops of Rome touching their Doctrine, to Balaam, to Caiaphas, and to a Leaden Seal: and touching their lives, to confess, they are Lamps without light. Yet (saith he) all this notwithstanding, we may not therefore depart from them. 1For Christ saith, The Scribes, and Pharisees sit in Moses Chary: Do ye, that they say: but that they do, do ye not: for they say, and do not. For as much, as it liketh M. Harding to use these comparisons, it may not much mislike him, if some man upon occasion hereof happen to say, as Christ said in the like case, Woe be unto you ye Scribes, 2and Pharisees: ye blind Guides: ye painted Graves: Ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven before men: ye neither enter your selves, nor suffer others, that would enter: Ye have made the House of God, a Cave of Thieves.
This is a very poore healpe in déede. M. Hardinge here is faine to resemble the Bishops of Rome touchinge their Doctrine, to Balaam, to Caiphas, and to a Leaden Seale: and touchinge their liues, to confesse, they are Lampes without light. Yet (saithe he) al this notwithstandinge, we may not therefore departe from them. 1For Christe saith, The Scribes, and Phariseis sitte in Moses Charie: Doo ye, that they saye: but that they doo, doo ye not: for they saye, and doo not. For as muche, as it liketh M. Hardinge to vse these comparisons, it may not muche mislike him, if some man vpon occasion hereof happen to say, as Christe sayde in the like case, Wo be vnto you ye Scribes, 2and Phariseis: ye blinde Guides: ye painted Graues: Ye shutte vp the Kingedome of Heauen before men: ye neither enter your selues, nor suffer others, that woulde enter: Ye haue made the House of God, a Caue of Theeues.
