Ye shall not thynke that I am come to dystroye the lawe or the prophetes / no I am not come to dystroye them / but to fulfyll them. For truely I saye vnto you / tyll heauen and ⟨image 33⟩〈…〉 ⟨p. xxix⟩〈…〉 ⟨image 34⟩erthe peryshe / there shall not one Iott or one tytle of the lawe scape / tyll all be fulfylled.
A little before Christ calleth his disciples the light of the world and the salt of the earth and that because of their doctrine / wherewith they should lighten the blind understanding of man / and with true knowledge drive out the false opinions and sophistical persuasions of natural reason, and deliver the scripture out of the captivity of false glosses which the ypocrety she pharisees had patched thereto and so out of the light of true knowledge, to ••ere up a new living. and to salt and season the corrupt manners of the old blind conversation.1
