God sayeth in the .li. chapter of Isaiah: I aim he that in all things giveth you consolation. What art thou than that fearest a mortal man, the child of man, which goeth away as doth the floor? and forgettest the LORD that made thee? In the book of wisdom the xvi. chapter it is thus written: It is thou O LORD that haste the power of life and death, thou leadest unto deaths door, and bringest up again. This is he in whom only ye ought to hope, & to have confidence, him only shall ye fear, to him only must ye sigh & sob: for there is but one only that is most highest creator of all things, most puissant and mighty, that is greatly to be feared and dreaded, as Jesus Sirach exhorteth us to do, in the first chapter of Ecclesiasticus, saying: There is one, even the Highest, the maker of all things, the Almighty, the king of power (of whom men ought to stand greatly in awe,) which sitteth upon his throne, being a God of dominion, and so forth. Thank therefore & praise him only, fear and dread him, and than shall not ye be deceived. For if ye trust in men, or any creature, calling upon them, than verily shall ye be deceived, unhappy & accursed as testify both Jeremiah in the .xvii. chap. ⟨image 78⟩and David in the .C.xiii. Psalm saying: Cursed be the man, that putteth his trust in man. Let therefore them that fear the LORD, put their trust in him: for he is their succour and defence, and think, ye be assured, this kind of worship to be nought but a device and imagination of men only, the which are idle and vain as sayeth Jeremiah in the .x. chapter. And Christ also sayeth Mathe. xv. that he is worshipped in vain, while they teach such doctrines as are nothing but the commandments of men. Though they approach near unto me with the Pater noster, callynge me father, LORD and God: yet do they run to other fathers, gods and saviours in this vale of tears. Draw therefore back good brethren and sisters your straying steppes & wend them in the ways of the LORD, yielding you rather to him and his word: for ye have more assurance to be heard when ye call to him, if ye so do, than ye have of following mans voice. David sayeth
