But the matter is, that this covetous man, this brother took his mark amiss, for he came to a wrong man to seek redress of his matter, nor Christ did not forbid him to seek his remedy at the magistrates hand, but Christ refused to take upon him thē office that was not his calling. ⟨image 277⟩For Christ had an other vocation then to be a judge between such as contended about matters of land. If our rebels had had this in their minds, they would not have ben their own judges, but they would have sought the redress of their grief at the hands of the king and his magistrates1 under him appointed. But no marvel of their blindness and ignorance: for the Bishops are out of their diocese, that should teach them this gear. But this man perchance had heard, & did think that Christ was […], whose reign in words soundeth a corporal and a temporal reign, which should do justice, and see a redress in all matters of worldly controversy. Which is a necessary office in a christian […], and must needs be put in execution for ministering of […]. And therefore I require you (as a suitor rather then a preacher) look to your office your self, and lay not all on your officers backs. Receive the bills of supplication your self, I do not see you do so now a days, as ye were wont to do the last year.
But the matter is, that this couetous man, this brother tooke his marke amis, for he came to a wrong man to seke redres of his matter, nor Christ did not forbid hym to seeke his remedye at the magistrates hande, but Christe refused to take vpon hym thē office that was not hys callyng. ⟨image 277⟩For Chryste had an other vocation then to be a iudge betwene such as contended about matters of land. If our rebels had had this in their mindes, they would not haue ben their owne iudges, but they would haue sought the redres of their grief at the handes of the king and his magistrates1 vnder him appoynted. But no maruell of their blindnes and ignorance: for the Bishops are out of their dioces, that should teache them this geare. But this mā perchance had heard, & did think that Christe was 〈…〉, whose reigne in wordes soundeth a corporall and a temporall raygne, whiche shoulde do iustice, and see a redres in all matters of worldly controuerly. Which is a necessary offyce in a christian , and must nedes be put in execucyon for mynistring of . And therfore I require you (as a suter rather then a preacher) looke to your office your felfe, and lay not all on youre officers backes. Receyue the billes of supplycation your self, I do not see you do so now a daies, as ye were wonte to doo the laste yeare.
