Woe be to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For ye make clean yt utterside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of bribery & excess, saith Christ. Mat. xxiij. Is that 1which our hypocrites eat and drink and all their riotous excess any other thing save robbery, & that which they have falsely gotten with their lying doctrine? Be learned therefore ye that judge the world, and compel them to make restitution again.

Ye blind guides saith Christ, ye strain out a gnat & swallow a camel. Math. xxiij. do not our blind guides also stumble at a straw, and leap over a block, making narrow consciences at 1trifles, and at matters of weight none at all? If any of them happen to swallow his spittle or any of the water wherewith he washeth his mouth, ere he go to Mass: or touch the Sacrament with his nose, or if the Ass forget to breath on him, or happen to handle it with any of his fingers which are not anointed, or say Alleluia in stead of Laus tibi Domine, or Ite Missa est in stede of Benedicamus Domino, or poure to much wine in the chalice, or read the Gospel without light, or make not his crosses a right, how trembleth he? how feareth he? what an horrible sin is committed? I cry God mercy, saith he, and you my Ghostly father. But to hold an whore or an other mans wife, to bye a benefice, to set one Realm at variance with an other, and to cause xx. thousand men to dye on a day is but a trifle and a pastime with them.
