Uidete et cavete ab […]. Se, & beware of covetousness. First who spake these words? […] Christ spake them, if I had spoken them of my self, it had been […] worth. But Christ spake them, & […] a good […]: The story is Duo litigabant inter se. There were two at […] between them selves. Luc. xii. and by this it appeareth that Christ spake them well. Christ spake these words at that time, and now he speaketh them by […] preacher, whom ye ought, to believe and so it is all one. But upon what occasion did he speak it, there were? ii. brethren at strife together for lands, wealthy men (as it appeareth) and the rich fellow would not tarry […] Christ had ended […]: but interrupted it, and would needs have his matter dispatched by and by. He was at Christs Sermon, but yet he would not differ his worldly cause till Christ had made an end of his Godly exhortation. This was a […] brother, he was a gospeller, he was a carnal gospeller (as1 many be now adays for a piece of an Abby, or for a portion of chantry lands) to get somewhat by it and to serve his commodity: He was a gospeller one of the new brethren somewhat worse then a rank papist. How be it a […] papist now adays shall […] have promotion, then a true Gospeller […] have, yt more pity. But this was a thorny gospeller, he heard Christs preaching and followed him for company, & heard his words. But he was never the […] for it, but yt care of yt world, so choked […] word of God in him, that he could not hear the sermon to the end, but interrupted the sermon for his worldly matter […] it were aldon. And what was Christ then2 doing? forsooth he was sowing of good seed, but it fell upon […] ground, so that it could not take any rote in this fellow to bring forth good fruit in him. And let me tell you of the seed that Christ was then sowing. Bear […] me a while, & seeing that I come now to take mine ultimum vale of this place, hear me […] & give me leave a […] while & let me take my […] honestly. ⟨image 269⟩At the time when this fellow interrupted Christs sermon, he was preaching a long? Sermon to his Disciples, and to the people being gathered together in a wonderful great multitude as appeareth in the. xii. Chapter of Saint Lukes Gospel, and there he first of all taught his Disciples a good lesson, saying: Cavete uobis a farmento Phariseorum. Beware in any wise (saith he) from the […] of the Pharisees.
