Hereof may ye see, not only that 1our persecution is for the same cause that Christs was, and that we say nothing that Christ said not: but also that all persecution is only for rebuking of hypocrisy, that is to say, of mans righteousness, and of holy deeds which man hath imagined to please God, & to be saved by, without Gods word, and beside the testament that God hath made in Christ. If Christ had not rebuked yt Pharisees because they taught the people to believe in their traditions and holiness, and in offerings that came to their advantage, and that they taught the widows and them that had their friends dead, to believe in their prayers, & that through their prayers the dead should be saved, and thorough that means robbed them both of their goods, and also of the testament and promises that God had made, to all that repented, in Christ to come, he might have been uncrucified unto this day.
