1He addeth to his name certain things, which instruct• touching the state of the Apostle, and certain profitable ma• ters. First he calleth him self a brother, namely of those s•• churches, and of all ours: As where I have admonished yo• that in the seventh number are comprised all churches of […] times throughout the whole world. We are all, so many […] ⟨p. 27⟩believe, the children of one heavenly father: And therefore all spiritual brethren in Christ, coinheriters with Christ, & heirs of God. Which thing S. Paul taught after Christ.2 And seeing our dignity is so great, let us ones be ashamed of our misdeeds, least our memory be put out of this most noble and celestial family. It is a shame the brother of Christ, of S. John & all the Apostles should degenerate. &c. But why have not they so instantly urged this brotherhood, as the Monks have beaten in their forged fraternities, the Rosaries of the virgin Mary and of Saints? Because that was free, & cost nothing: But the Monks sell theirs dear. They be therefore deceivers and seducers.
