Who so ever breaketh one of these least commandments and teach men so / shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that doth them and teacheth them / the same shall be great in the kingdom of heaven.
Who so euer breaketh one of these leaste comaundementes and teache men so / shalbe called the leaste in the kyngedome of heauen. But he that dothe them and teacheth them / the same shalbe great in the kyngdome of heuen.
who so ever study to destroy one of the commandments following which are yet the least and but childish things in respect of the perfect doctrine that shall here after be showed, and of the mysteries yet hide in Christ and teach other men even so, in word or ensample,1 whether openly or under a colour and thorough false glosses of hypocrisy that same doctor shall all they of the kingdom of heaven abhor and despise, and caste him out of ⟨p. xxxi⟩of their company, as a seething pot doth caste up her foam and scum & purge her self. So fast shall they of the kingdom of heaven cleave unto the pure law of God without all mens glosses.
