Again, by this all vaunting and boasting ⟨p. 257⟩of Kindred is cut off. Glory not in that thou hast a Gentleman to thy Father, glory not that thou hast a Knight to thy Brother, but glory that thou hast the Lord to thy Brother.1 He which called Abraham his Father fried in Hell, because GOD was not his Father. If Mary might not be proud of such a Son as our Saviour Christ, much less may you brag of any friend or Son that you have.
Againe, by this all vaunting and boasting ⟨p. 257⟩of Kinred is cut off. Glorie not in that thou hast a Gentleman to thy Father, glorie not that thou hast a Knight to thy Brother, but glorie that thou hast the Lord to thy Brother.1 He which called Abraham his Father fried in Hell, because GOD was not his Father. If Marie might not bee prowde of such a Sonne as our Sauiour Christ, much lesse may you bragge of any friend or Sonne that you haue.
