Moreover, if any be an Infidel and a false Christian, and forsake his household, his wife, children, and such as can not help themselves, then art thou bound to them, if thou have wherewith, even as much as to thine own household, and they have as good right in thy goods, as thou thy self, &c. And if the whole world were thine, yet hath every brother his right in thy goods, and is heir with thee, as we are all heirs with Christ, &c.
Moreouer, if any be an Infidel and a false Christian, and forsake his houshold, his wife, children, and suche as can not helpe themselues, then art thou bound to them, if thou haue wherewith, euen as much as to thine owne housholde, and they haue as good right in thy goodes, as thou thy selfe, &c. And if the whole world were thine, yet hath euery brother his right in thy goodes, and is heire with thee, as we are all heyres with Christ, &c.
The place is this: He that seeketh with his alives more then to be merciful, to be a neighbour, to succour his brothers need, to do his duty to his brother,1 to give his brother that he oweth him, the same is blind▪ and seeth not what it is to be a christen man, and to have fellowship in Christs blood, &c.
