I will not speak also, how that it is not possible, but that, where our men which are weak & without learning and knowledge, are conversant with infidels, sometimes there may happen some talk of religion, wherein although they slip not, yet when they can not overthrow the Sophistical and crafty arguments of their adversaries, brawling and strife sometimes ariseth & from that they fall into hatred, cursing & reproaches, which have no edification, but rather hinder it, so far is it of to get a steppe to set forward. To this serveth the which Paul hath written in the second Epistle to the Corinthians: draw not the yoke with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? What participation hath light with darkness? or what concord between ⟨image 54⟩Christ and Belial? what part hath the faithful with the unfaithful? or what agreeth the temple of God with Idols? These things are so manifest, that they need not the light of interpretation: neither ought they to be understand only for contracting of matrimonies, when as they extend far and over all, & pertain also unto all kind of conversation with the ungodly, which we have with them for our own cause. I know that the shadows of the old law are now by the benefit of Christ removed from us. Howbeit, it is not to be doubted but that those things abide, of which the people of God was by them at that time admonished.
I will not speake also, how that it is not possible, but that, where our men whiche are weake & without learning and knowledge, are conuersant with infidels, sometymes there may happē some talke of religion, wherin althoughe they slippe not, yet when they can not ouerthrowe the Sophistical and crafty argumentes of their aduersaries, brawling and strife sometymes ariseth & frō yt they fall into hatred, cursing & reproches, which haue no edificatiō, but rather hinder it, so farre is it of to get a steppe to set forwarde. To this serueth ye which Paul hath written in the secōd Epistle to ye Corinthians: draw not ye yoke wt vnbeleuers. For what fellowship hath righteousnesse wt vnrighteousnesse? What participatiō hath light with darckenesse? or what concorde betwen ⟨image 54⟩Christ and Belial? what part hath the faithfull with the vnfaithfull? or what agreeth the temple of God with Idoles? These things are so manifest, that they nede not the light of interpretation: neither ought they to be vnderstand onely for contracting of matrimonyes, when as they extend farre and ouer all, & pertayne also vnto all kinde of conuersation with the vngodly, whiche we haue wt them for our owne cause. I know that the shadowes of the olde law are now by ye benefite of Christ remoued frō vs. Howbeit, it is not to be doubted but yt those things abide, of which the people of God was by them at that time admonished.
