The Scribes and Pharisees do all their works to be seen of men. They set abroad their Phylacteries, & make long borders on their garments, and love to sit uppermost at feasts, and to have the chief seats in the synagogues, that, is in the congregations or councils, and to be called Rabbi, that is to say masters saith Christ.

For both they & whatsoever they make of their own heads is more feared and dread then God and his commandments. In them and their deservings put we more trust, then in Christ and his merits. To their promises give we more faith, then to the promises which God hath sworn in Christs blood.
