Ubi sunt Pi•ta is & C•sti atis exempla quae discunt, Evangelia lgunt & impudici sunt, Apostolos audiant & ineb•iantur, Christum sequu•tur & capiunt? &c. They talk of an holy Christ, and yet are unjust unclean, wrathful, covetous; of a meek patient Christ, and yet are rapacious and violent; of holy Apostles, and yet are impure in their conversations: ⟨p. 410⟩Our Author goeth on thus, Sancta a Christianis •ierens •• sancta Christu• do••isset▪ aestimari a culioribus potest iste qui colitur, quomodo bonus magister cujus tam m•los •sse videmus Discipulos: If their Christ were an holy meek Christ, they would be better. Now judge you whether such wretches be not spots both to Christ and the Church, a disgrace to Head and Members; therefore all Church members should be more watchful and circumspect than others, le•t they give occasion to those that watch for their halting, to speak evil of the way of God.
