if ⟨p. 299⟩Baal be God, follow him. And now shall the Helianes cry:1 if Christ be the perfection of the faithful, what need is there of mans inventions and constitutions to work a perfection? If Christ be our justification, satisfaction, purification, our only mediator and redeemer, wherefore are these things attributed to mans merits? why are saints accounted intercessors in heaven? why is salvation ascribed to many other stinking things? Elijah cried out: how long halt ye on both sides? As though he should say, it is not lawful to part your hearts betwixt two Gods, neither is it lawful to attribute all things of life & of salvation, but unto God alone. The fellowship of the kingdom is in this case envious in deed. The Helianes shall cry: if righteousness be of the law, Christ died in vain. No man can serve two masters. Christ shall profit you nothing, which seek salvation in the traditions of men. Come ye unto Christ: he is the perfection of the faithful, & in him we are complete. And like as Elijah grievously accused Ahab, Jezebel and the Baalamites: right so shall the Helians most sharply inveigh against kings and Bishops Idolaters and Antichristians. Thus I say Elijah cometh again, hath come, and shall come before the judgement.
yf ⟨p. 299⟩Baal be God, followe him. And nowe shal the Helianes crie:1 yf Christ be the perfection of the faythful, what nede is there of mans inuentions and constitutions to worke a perfectiō? Yf Christ be our iustification, satisfaction, purificatiō, our only mediatour and redemer, wherfore are these thinges attributed to mans merites? whie are sainctes accōpted intercessours in heauen? whie is saluation ascribed to many other stinking things? Helias cried out: how long halte ye on both sides? As though he should saye, it is not lawful to part your hartes betwixt two Gods, nother is it lawful to atttribute al thinges of life & of saluation, but vnto God alone. The fellowship of the kingdom is in this case enuiouse in dede. The Helianes shal crie: if rightuousenes be of the lawe, Christ died in vaine. No man can serue two maisters. Christ shall profit you nothing, which seke saluation in the traditions of men. Come ye vnto Christ: he is the perfection of the faithfull, & in him we are complete. And like as Helias greuousely accused Achab, Iezabel and the Baalamites: righte so shall the Helians most sharpely inueye against kinges and Bishoppes Idolaters and Antichristians. Thus I saye Helias cometh againe, hath commen, and shal come before the iudgement.
