Rainoldes. The Lord did command the people of Israel to repair in causes of difficulty and doubt to the Priests and to the judge: and ask, and they shall show thee the sentence of judgement; and gthou shalt observe to do according unto all that they shall teach thee. These words [thou shalt observe to do according unto all that they shall teach thee,] the Jews are accustomed to allege commonly, when they defend their fond traditions received of their Fathers. And hSelomoh, a Rabbin whom they make great account off, doth gloss them with this note, Thou must not decline from that which they shall tell thee, *no not though they say that the right hand is the left, and the left hand is the right. A mighty spirit of error, that hath bewitched these men. But you and your Church do run apace after them. Perhaps you think you may be as bold for your Popes, as Rabbi Selomoh for their Priests.
