Look about you by a sound knowledge of the truth, least any of what opinion of learning, or holiness whatsoever, by either show of reason coming from the brain of men, which hath received strength in that it hath been received from hand to hand, and yet is nothing else but a vain deceit and ⟨p. 120⟩sleight, or else by the ceremonies of the law, wherewith as by certain rudiments, or A. B. C. the people of God (as children) were trained to this perfection of doctrine, which now hath shined out unto you, do vanquish you, and drive you before them as prisoners fast bound in the chains and manacles of error. Yea take heed of any doctrine whatsoever that either taketh any thing from CHRIST, or doth place any the least jot of salvation other where then in h•m.
