And this wholesome doctrine of Christ confoundeth all traditions,1 & subverteth all constitutions made since the time of the Apostles. The godly may always object this saying of Christ to the traditioners. I will lay none other burden upon you, besides that you have: That same hold fast until the last judgement. They shall allege that same also, that the Apostles deny that they will add nothing more. Act. 15. Christ spake this in the time of S. John, in the year of our Lord .lxxxxvii. Therefore what so ever laws, traditions, decrees have been made since that time, we know they were not imposed of Christ, which saith so expressly that he will lay none other burden on the ⟨p. 100⟩faithful. Where then become the decrees and constitutions of worshipping Images in the church, for the consecration and celebrating of masses. What shall we say to the decretals of the Bishop of Rome? They are all overthrown and stricken down as it were with a thunderbolt, by this only sentence of Christ. I will impose none other burden, than that you have, keep that until the judgement. Behold, he saith, unto the judgement least any should imagine in the mean season, that another thing had pleased the holy ghost. Let us therefore persevere in the same.
And this holsome doctrine of Christ confoundeth al traditions,1 & subuerteth al constinitiōs made since the time of the Apostles. The godly may always obiect this sayin of Christ to ye traditioners. I wil lay none other burthē vpō you, besides yt you haue: That same hold fast vntill ye last iudgement. They shal alledge that same also, that the Apostles deny that they will adde nothing more. Act. 15. Christ spake this in the tyme of S. Iohn, in the yeare of our Lord .lxxxxvii. Therfore what so euer lawes, traditiōs, decrees haue bene made since that time, we know they were not imposed of Christ, which saith so expressely that he will lay none other burthen on the ⟨p. 100⟩faithfull. Where then become the decrees and constitutions of worshipping Images in the churche, for the consecration and celebrating of masses. What shall we say to the decretalles of the Byshop of Rome? They are all ouerthrowen and stricken downe as it were with a thonderbolte, by this only sentence of Christ. I wil impose none other burthen, thē that you haue, kepe that vntill the iudgement. Beholde, he sayth, vnto the iudgement least any shoulde imagine in the meane season, that another thing had pleased the holy ghost. Let vs therfore perseuer in the same.
