Moreover / because the kingdom of heaven / which is the scripture & word of God / may be so locked up / that he which readeth or heareth it / cannot understand it: as Christ testifieth how that the Scribes and Pharisees had so shut it up. Mat. xxiii. and had taken away the key of knowledge. Luke. xi. that their Jews which thought them selves with in / were yet so locked out / and are to this day that they can understand no sentence of the scripture unto their salvation / though they can rehearse the texts every where & dispute thereof as subtly as the popish doctors of dunces dark learning / which with their sophistry / served us / as the Pharisees did the Jews. Therefore (that I might be found faithful to my father & lord in distributing unto my brethren & fellows of one faith / their due & necessary food: so dressing it & seasoning it / that the weak stomachs may receive it also / and be the better for it) I thought it my duty (most dear reader) to warn the ⟨image 3⟩before / & to show the the right way in / & to give the the true key to open it withal / & to arm the against false Prophets & malicious hypocrites / whose perpetual study is to leaven the scripture with glosses / and there to lock it up where it should save thy soul / and to make us shoot at a wrong mark / to put our trust in those things that profit their belies only and slay our souls.

Therfore (that I myght be founde faythfull to my father & lorde in distributinge vnto my brethrē & felowes of one fayth / their due & necessarye fode: so dressinge it & ceasoninge it / that the weake stomackes maye receave it also / and be ye better for it) I thought it my dutye (most deare reader) to warne the
