And Paul saith. ij. Timo. iij. in the later days there shall be perilous times. For there shall be men that love them selves, covetous, high minded, 1proud, railers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, ungodly, churlish, promise breakers, accusers or pickquareles, unloving, despisers of the good, traitors, heady, pu•sed up & that love lusts more than God, having an appearance of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And by power I understand the pure faith in gods word which is the power and pith of all godliness and whence all that pleaseth God springeth. And this text pertaineth 2unto them that profess Christ. And in that he saith having an appearance of godliness & of that followeth in the text, of this sort are they that enter into mens houses and lead women captive laden with sin, ever asking & never able to attain unto the truth (as our hearers of confessions do) it appeareth 3that they be such as will be holier then other and teachers and leaders of the rest. And look whether there be here any syllable that agreeth not unto our spirituality in the highest degree. Love they not them selves their own 4decrees and ordinances, their own lies and dreams & despise all laws of God and man, regard no man but them only that be disguised as they be? And as for their covetousness which 5all the world is not able to satisfy, tell me what it is that they make not serve it? in so much that if God punish the world with an evil pock, they immediately paint a block and call it Job to heal the disease in stead of warning the people to mend their living. And as for their high mind and pride, see 6whether they be not above Kings and Emperor & all the names of God, & whether any man may come to bear rule in this world except he be sworn to them and come up under them.
And Paule sayth. ij. Timo. iij. in the later dayes there shal be perilous tymes. For there shal be men that loue them selues, couetous, high mynded,
