I do know your tender ears, you can not be grated with such sharp sentences of condemnation, that thus prick you to the hearts: howbeit thus it behoveth, that ye be taught to judge your selves, that in the end ye be not damned with the wicked world. But I will wound you no more with the words of the Prophets, with the sayings of David, or of this holy saint of God John the Baptist, but with our saviour Christs two most sweet parables of the two sons and of the tilme, to whom he set his vineyard, I will labour to set before your eyes your rebellion, hypocrisy, and cruelty, if so I can bring any of you to repentance. Our saviour Christ putteth forth this parable,
I do know your tendre eares, you can not be grated with such sharpe sentēces of condēnation, that thus prick you to the hearts: howbeit thus it behoueth, that ye be taught to iudge your selues, that in the end ye be not dāned with the wicked world. But I will wounde you no more with the words of the Prophetes, with the sayinges of Dauid, or of this holy sainct of God Iohn the Baptist, but with our sauiour Christs two most swete parables of the two sonnes and of the tilme, to whome he set his vineyard, I will labour to set before your eyes your rebellion, hypocrisie, and crueltie, if so I cā bring any of you to repentance. Our sauiour Christe putteth furth this parable,
