The hypocrites will have fastings, prayings, kneeling, crouching, ducking, and a thousand ceremonies of their own invention. And whosoever do not as they do, him they count a damned soul by and by. To Christ they say, why fast not thy disciples, as the Pharisees do? Why pluck they the ears of corn and rub them in their hands (though they did it compelled with pure hunger) and do that is not lawful on the Sabbath day? Why break ye the traditions of our Elders, and wash not when ye sit down to meat? yea and why dost thou thy self heal the people upon the holy day? Why diddest thou, not only heal him that was bedrid 38. years, 1but also baddest him bear his bed away upon the Sabbath day? Be there not working day sufficient to do good deed to the praise of God, and profit of thy neighbour, but that thou must break thy Sabbath day? He cannot be but a damned person that breaketh the holy day, and despiseth the ordinance of the holy Church.
