Nat all that say to me, lord lord shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven, but he that fulfilleth the will of my father which is in heaven. Many will say unto me at that day, lord lord did we not prophesy in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils? and did we not in thy name many miracles? Then will I confess unto them. I never knew you, depart from me ye workers of iniquity.
Nat all that say to me, lord lorde shall entre in to the kyngdome of heuen, but he that fulfylleth the wyll of my father whiche is in heuen. Many wyll say vnto me at that daye, lorde lorde dyd we not prophelye in thy name? and in thy name cast out deuelles? and dyd we not in thy name many myracles? Then wyll I confesse vnto them. I neuer knewe you, departe from me ye workers of iniquite.
This doubling of lord hath vehemency & betokeneth that they which shall be excluded are such as think them selves better & perfecter then other men, & to deserve heaven with their holy works, not for them selves only but also for other. And by that they prophesied, by which thou mayst understand the interpreting of scripture, and by that they cast out devils / and did miracles in Christs ⟨image 120⟩name (and for all that they are yet workers of wickedness, and do not the will of the father which is in heaven) it is plain that they be false prophets, and even the same of which Christ warned before. ❧ / ❀ / ❀ / ❧

And by that they prophesyed, by whiche thou mayst vnderstande the enterpretynge of scripture, and by that they cast out deuelles / and dyd myracles in Christes ⟨image 120⟩name (and for all that they are yet workers of wykednesse, and do nat the wyll of the father which is ī heuen) it is playne that they be false prophetes, and euen the same of which Christe warned before. ❧ / ❀ / ❀ / ❧
