This Gentleman usher is called Agnitio pecctatorū ▪ knowledge of sin, when we enter into our heart, & acknowledge our faults, and stand not about to defend them He is none of these winkers▪ 1he kicks not when he hears his fault. Now as the Gentleman usher goeth before her, so ⟨image 104⟩she hath a train that cometh be hind her, and yet though they come behind, they be all of faiths company, they are all with her, as Christ when he counterfeited a state going to Jerusalem, some went before him, and some after, yet all were of his company, so all these wait upon faith. She hath a great train after her besides her Gentleman Usher, her whole household, and those be the works of our vocation, when every man considereth what vocation he is in, what calling he is in, and doeth the works of the same, as to be good to his neighbour, to obey God. &c.
