our Saviour did not so, he opened his own mouth, and taught the people. Certainly this ensample of our Saviour ought1 better to be considered of our prelates than it is: for they be not better than Christ was. Christ hath sent them, and given unto them a Commission to preach: wherefore disdain they than to open their mouth, and teach the people? seeing that our saviour him self taught: how will they be excused […] they shall make account for their doings? What shall be their reward for their slothfulness? No doubt everlasting damnation hangeth over their heads.

Now our saviour opening his mouth, what taught he them? Mary he taught them a pilgrimage, the christen mans pilgrimage: And this is a good and true pilgrimage that he1 taught, for this pilgrimage standeth not in running hither and thither: No no, this is a right pilgrimage, but there is strange gear in it […] such gear, that if I should say it of my own head, you would not believe me, you would say I lye: for it agreeth not with our mother wit, we can not compass this gear with our natural wit: therefore we must consider who speaketh it, and so captivate our reason and wit, to the wisdom of God. Now Christ the eternal son of God, he teacheth us this pilgrimage: Of which god the father him self saythe: Hic est […] meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacitum est, ipsum audite: This is my well beloved Son, in whom I am pleased, hear him.
