Neither is it to be passed over,1 that among these outward things which are offered as sacrifices unto god, there are certain degrees and an order appointed. For god himself testifieth, that he far above the other preferreth mercy and charity toward our neighbours. Wherefore in Matthew the .9. is this place ⟨image 71⟩brought out of the Prophet Hosea: I will mercy and not sacrifice. Moreover, it is written in the .1. of Samuel: Obedience is better than sacrifices. These words teach us, that among outward oblations, the killing of beasts, and tenths, and fruits in the old time held the last place. But the principal part was given to the obedience which was showed unto the word of God, to charity toward our brethren, to thanks giving and to prayers.
