THE lord teacheth by the words of this Gospel / what profit he hath done unto us / by his resurrection / that is to underhand / that by that he hath erected and instituted a kingdom / in the which it is intreaced / not of gold or silver / nor of other things that are necessary to pass over this our life / or by what craft or ways those things may be invented / or by what reason / such being gotten may be preserved. Truly this Kingdom which doth consist in these earthly and corporal things / was institute now before straightways in the beginning of the world / and being from that time established / it taketh force and endureth / and is subject by the word of God unto mans reason and prudence / Genesis the first chapter / where God saith thus.1 Be ye lords upon the fishes of the sea / and the birds of the air / and upon all things having life that moveth upon the earth. etc.
