Take an other ensample of there false expounding the scripture. Christ sayeth Mathei. xxiij.1 The scribes and the pharisees sit on Moses seat / what soever they bid you observe / that observe and do: but after their works do not. Lo say our sophisters or hypocrites / live we never so abominably / yet is our authority never the less. Do as we teach therefore (say they) and not as we do. And yet Christ saith they sit on Moses seat / that is as long as they teach Moses do as they teach. For the law of Moses is the law of God. But for their own traditions and false doctrine Christ rebuked them and disobeyed them and taught other to be ware of their leaven. So if our pharisees sit on Christs seat and preach him / we ought to hear them: but when they sit on their own seat / then ought we to beware as well of their pestilent doctrine as of their abominable living.
