Beware of false Prophets ⟨image 9⟩which come unto you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolfs, ye shall know them by their fruits: Yea, change Quecunque jusserint (if their doctrine be evil) into Cavete a fermento pharisee orum,1 &c.
Beware of false Prophetes ⟨image 9⟩whych come vnto you in shepes clothyng, but inwardly, they are rauenynge woulffes, ye shall knowe theym by theyr fruites: Yea, change Quecunque iusserint (yf their doctryne be euyll) into Cauete a fermento pharise orum,1 &c.

That is Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, & of the Sadducees. In teaching evil doctrine, all preachers are to be eschewed, and in no wise to be harkened unto. In speaking trueth, they are to be heard. All things written in God's book,1 are most certain true, and profitable for all men. For in it is contained mete matter for Kings, Princes, Rulers, Bishops, and for all estates. Wherefore, it behoveth every preacher, somewhat to appoint ⟨image 9⟩and accommodate him self, and his matter agreeable unto the comfort, and amendment of the audience, unto the which he declareth the message of God. If he preach before a king, let his matter be concerning the office of a king, if before a bishop, then let him treat of byshoplye duties and orders, and so forth in other matters, as time & audience shall require.
