But as for the civill burdens, he delivered us not from them, but rather commanded us to pay them: give, give, saith he to Cesar obedience, tribute, and all things dew to Cesar. For the understanding of this text, it shall be needful to consider the circumstance going before: which thing duly considered, giveth a great light to all places of the scripture: who spake these words, to whom they were spoken, upon what occasion, and afore whom.

Therefore I will take the whole fragment and shred, taken out of God's […] for the gospel of this day, written in the gospel of Matthew the. xxii. […]. Tunc abierunt Pharisoei. Then went the Pharisees and toke a counsel, Luke hath Observants, marking, spying, looking, tooting, watching: like subtle, crafty & sleightie fellows they toke a counsel & sent to him their disciples, which should fain them selves just men, godly men, glad to learn his doctrine. And1 with them Herodes servants, to trap him in his words: & they said to him: M. we know that thou art a true man, & teachest the way of god, in veritate, truly, & carest for no man. ⟨p. 97⟩For thou regardest not the personage of man. Tell us there fore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give Cesar tribute money or no? This was their question that they would have […] him with. In […] to this they would have caught him by the foot. But Jesus cognita malitia […] knowing their malice, their wickedness, their […] nes, he said to them: hypocrites why do ye tempt me? Show me a piece of the tribute money. And they brought him a penny. And he said to them: whose image is this, and the writing? They answered: Caesars, He said to […]. Give to […] that that belongeth to Cesar, and to god that that is God's.
