Among Christen men love maketh all things commune: every man is others debtor & every man is bound to minister to his neighbour / & to supply his neighbours lack / of that where with God hath endued him. As thou seest in the world how the lords & officers minister peace in y• commune wealth / punish murderers / thieves & evil doers / & to maintain there order & ease ate do the communes minister to them again rent / tribute / tolle & custome So in the Gospel the curates which in every parish preach y• Gospel ought of duty to receive an honest living for them & their households and even so ought y• other officers which are necessarily required in the commune wealth of Christ. We need not to use filthy lucre in the Gospel / to chop & change & to play the taverners / altering the word of God / as they do there mines to their most advantage / & to fashion God's word after every mans mouth / or to abuse the name of Christ to obtain thereby authority and power / to feed our flow belies. Now seest thou what prayers / the end thereof and wherefore it serveth.
