And our hypocrites are in like manner crept up into the seat of Christ and 1of his Apostles by succession: not to do the deeds of Christ and his Apostles, but for lucre only (as the nature of the wily Fox is, to get him an hole made with another beasts labour) and to make merchandise of the people with feigned words, as Peter warned us before, and to do according as Christ and all his Apostles prophesied, how they should beguile and lead out of the right way, all them that had no love to follow and live after the truth.

And in like manner have they corrupt 1the Scripture, and blinded the right way with their own constitutions, with traditions of dumb ceremonies, with taking away the significations of the sacraments, to make us believe in the work of the sacraments first, whereby they might the better make us believe in works of their setting up afterward, and with false glosses which they have patched to the Scripture in plain places, to destroy the literal sense for to set up a false feigned sense of allegories, when there is none such. And thereby they have stopped up the gates of heaven, the true knowledge of Christ, and have made their own beles the door. For through their bellies must thou creep, and thee leave all that fall behind thee.
