To smite father and mother was 1sin: But to withdraw help from them at their need, for blind zeal of offering, unto the profit of the holy pharisees, was then as meritorious as it is now, to let all thy kin choose whether they will sink or swim, while thou buildest and makest goodly foundations for holy people, which thou hast chosen to be thy Christ, for to supple thy soul with yt oil of their sweet blessings, and to be thy Jesus for to 2save thy soul from the purgatory of the blood, that only purgeth sin, with their watching, fasting, woolward going, & rising at midnight, &c. wherewith yet they purge not themselves, from their covetousness, pride, lechery, or any vice that thou seest among the lay people.
