In such case were the Scribes & Pharisees, when they forsook to be guided by the word of God, and took away the key of Knowledge, they fed upon their own devises, they neglected the commandments and will of God, and followed their own traditions. Therefore Christ reproved them:1 O Hypocrites, Esaia• prophesied well of you, saying: This people draweth near unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far off from me. But in vain they worship me, teaching doctrines mens precepts.

Therefore, if we seek to know the Sacraments of the Church, what they are: if we would be instructed in the Sacrament of Baptism, or in the Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ: if we would learn to know our Creator, and to put the difference between the creator and a creature: if we desire to know what this present life is, and what is that life which is to come: if we would believe in God, and call upon the name of God, and do worship ⟨p. 187⟩unto God: if we would be settled in perfect zeal, and true knowledge: if we would have an upright conscience towards God: if we would know which is the true Church of God, it is very needful that we hear the word of God. There is no other word that teacheth us unto salvation.
