And when they had heard of any miracles, that Christ had done, they by and by came unto their master, and told him of it disdainfully: as who say, thus and thus, we have heard that Christ hath done: wherefore showest not thou thy self to: wherefore workest not as well miracles as Christ doth? every man speaketh of him: do thou somewhat too, that the people may know thee to be a great man as well as Christ. We read in the gospel of Matthew, that Johns disciples came once to Christ, and quarrelled with him, saying: Cur nos & 1pharisaei jeiunamus frequenter, discipuli autem tui non jeiunant? Wherefore fast we, and the pharisees, so many a times, but thy disciples fast not at all? They thought in their own opinions, that Johns life was a great deal more to be esteemed then Christs, because Johns life was more painful, in the outward show of the world: therefore it grieved them that Christ should be more esteemed then John. So that we may perceive by Johns disciples, that they had a good zeale, Sed non secundum scientiam, but not according unto knowledge.2
And when they had heard of any miracles, that Christe had done, they by and by came vnto theyr maister, and told hym of it disdainfully: as who say, thus and thus, we haue heard that Christ hath done: wherfore shewest not thou thy selfe to: wherfore workest not as well myracles as Christ doth? euery man speaketh of hym: do thou somwhat too, that the people may know thee to be a great man as well as Christ. We reade in the gospell of Mathew, that Iohns disciples came once to Christ, and quarelled with hym, saying: Cur nos & 1pharisaei ieiunamus frequenter, discipuli autem tui non ieiunāt? Wherfore fast we, and the pharisees, so many a tymes, but thy disciples fast not at al? They thought in theyr owne opinions, that Iohns lyfe was a great deale more to be estemed then Christes, because Iohns lyfe was more painfull, in the outward shew of the world: therfore it greued them that Christ shold be more estemed then Iohn. So yt we may perceiue by Iohns disciples, that they had a good zeale, Sed non secundum scientiam, but not accordyng vnto knowledge.2
