The Parable of the Wicked Mammon

Mathei. x. He that receiveth a pro phete in the name of a prophet, that is because he is a prophet ? ? ? ? shall receive the reward of a prophet and he that giveth one of thes li•leons a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, shall not lose his reward. Note this, that a prophet signifieth as well him that interpreteth the hard places of scripture, as him that pro phisies things to come. Now he that receiveth a prophet, a just man, or a disciple, shall have the same or like reward, that's to say, shall have the same eternal life, which is appointed for them in Christs blood and merits. For except thou were elect to the same eternal life, and haddest the same faith and trust in God, ⟨image 33⟩and the same spirit, thou couldest never consent to their deeds and help them.¹
