The xviij. Chapter.
IN the xviij. where he would fain 1prove that the Popes Church can not err, he allegeth things whereof he might be ashamed, if he were not past shame, to prove that the Bishops have authority to lade us with traditions neither profitable for soul nor body. He bringeth a false allegory upon the overplus that the Samaritan if it were laid out, promised to pay when he came again, for the Bishops traditions. Nay. M. More, besides that allegories which every man may feign at 2his pleasure can prove nothing, Christ interpreteth it him self, that it betokeneth a kind mind & a loving neighbour, which, so loved a stranger, that he never left caring for him, both absent as well as present, until he were full whole and common out of all necessity.
