And finally / hereto pertaineth with infinite other / the terrible parable of the unclean spirit (Luke. xi.) which after he is cast out / when he cometh & findeth his house swept and garnished / taketh to him seven worse then him self / and cometh and entereth in & dwelleth there / & so is the end of the man worse then the beginning. The Jews / they had cleansed them selves with God's word / from all outward idolatry & worshipping of idol. But their hearts remained still faithless to godward and toward his mercy and truth and therefore without love also and lust to his law & to their neighbours for his sake / & through false trust in their own work) to which heresy / the child of perdition / the wicked bishop of Rome with his lawyers hath brought us christen) were more abominable idolaters then before / and become ten times worse ⟨image 6⟩in the end then at the beginning. For the first idolatry was soon spied and easy to be rebuked of the prophets by the scripture. But the later is more subtle to beguile withal / and an hundred times of more dyfficul•• to be weeded out of mens hearts.

The Iewes / they had clensed thē selves wt gode worde / frō all outward ydolatrye & worshippinge of ydole. But their hertes remayned still faythlesse to godwarde and towarde his mercie and truthe and therfore without loue also and lust to his lawe & to their neyboures for his sake / & thorow false trust in their awne worke) to which heresie / the childe of perdicion / the wycked bysshope of Rome wt his lawyers hath brought vs christen) were more abhominable ydolaters then before / and become ten tymes worse ⟨image 6⟩in the ende then at the begynnynge. For the fyrst ydolatre was sone spyed and easie to be rebuked of ye prophetes by the scripture. But the later is more sotle to begyle withall / and an hundred tymes of more dyfficul to be weded oute of mennes hertes.
