Whosoever studieth to destroy one of the commandments following, which are yet the least and but childish things in respect of the perfect doctrine that shall hereafter be showed, & of the mysteries yet hid in Christ: and 1teach other men even so, in word or ensample, whether openly or under a colour, and through false glosses of hypocrisy: that same doctor shall all they of the kingdom of heaven abhor and despise, and cast him out of their company, as a seething pot doth cast up her foam and scum and purge her self. So fast shall they of the kingdom of heaven cleave unto the pure law of God without all mens glosses.
Whosoeuer studieth to destroy one of the commaundementes folowing, which are yet the least and but childish thynges in respect of the perfect doctrine that shall hereafter be shewed, & of the misteries yet hid in Christ: and 1teach other men euen so, in woorde or ensample, whether openly or vnder a colour, and thorow false gloses of hypocrisie: that same doctour shall all they of the kyngdome of heauen abhorre and dispise, and cast hym out of their company, as a sething pot doth cast vp her fome and scome and purge her selfe. So fast shal they of the kingdome of heauen cleaue vnto the pure law of God without all mens gloses.

But whosoever shall first fulfil them himself, and then teach other, and set all his study to the furtherance and maintaining of them, that doctor shall all they of the kingdom of heaven have in price, and follow him and seek him out, as doth an Eagle her pray, & cleave to him as burrs. For these commandments are but the very law of Moses (the draff of the Pharisees glosses cleansed out) interpreted according to the pure word of God, and as the open text compelleth to understand them, if ye look diligently thereon.
