¹And for so much as it concerneth the substance of the true service of God, seeing that he is a spirit, he requireth also to be served and honoured in spirit and verity, and not in visible things, such as are material and corruptible, as are images, alters, temples, pilgrimages, and other such like superstitions and idolatries invented by man. For if his good pleasure were, that the ancient ceremonies of the law should be abolished in the coming of Jesus Christ, of whom they were figures to bring men to this true spiritual service, it is easy then to judge how he mought endure that men should forge new ceremonies, through great presumption, according to their own fantasy, to serve him after their pleasure, and not after his.

¹ANd for so muche as it concerneth the substance of the true seruice of God, séeing that he is a spirite, he requireth also to be serued and honored in spirite and veritie, and not in visible things, such as are material and corruptible, as are images, alters, temples, pilgrimages, and other suche lyke superstitions and idolatries inuēted by man. For if his good pleasure were, that the auncient ceremonies of the lawe should be abolished in the cō ming of Iesus Christ, of whom they were figures to bring men to this true spirituall seruice, it is easy thē to iudge how he mought endure that men shuld forge new ceremonies, thorow great presumption, according to their owne fantasie, to serue hym after their pleasure, and not after his.
