And to prove that they in heaven be better then we in earth, he allegeth a text of our Saviour Luke. vij. that the worst in heaven is better then John Baptist. Now the text is, he that is less in the kingdom of God is greater than 1he. We that believe are Gods kingdom. And he that is least (in doing service unto his brethren) is ever the greatest after the doctrine of Christ. Now Christ was less then John, and 2therefore greater then he. And by their own doctrine, there was no Saint in heaven before the resurrection of Christ, but what care they what they say, blinded with their own sophistry.
