1In Religions and rites that lightness and mixture can be less allowed of God. For you shall have, that will temper together sundry Religions, and of many compile some one. Mahomet composed his Religion of the Jewish and christian Religion. Many at this day make an hogepotche of papistry and the Gospel, or bake a chuchurnullis as the Germans call a cake of sundry grains. If a Papist see this kind of service, he knoweth it not for his: And if the Gospeller see it, he knoweth it for none of his. For it is a mixture of whole and corrupt, where the sound part hath no more strength, the corrupt for the most part hath the greater. Of such sort are the masses that are used at this day of many, ⟨p. 127⟩neither altogether Papistical, nor yet wholly Evangelical. For the Lords supper appeareth not in them: The Popish mass also is cut of and altered in the same. If we believe that Christ set forth the best rule of Religion and living, why follow we not that same only Master? But we set more by the favour of men, which in no wise we will lose. For we set not so much by the favour of Christ, as to call that saying of the Apostle to memory, if I should please men I should not be Christs servant.
1In Religions and rytes that lightnes and mixture can be lesse allowed of God. For you shall haue, that wyll temper together sondry Religions, and of many compile some one. Mahomet composed his Religion of the Iewyshe and christian Religion. Many at this day make an hogepotche of papistrie and the Gospell, or bake a chuchurnullis as the Germaines call a cake of sondry graynes. If a Papiste see this kynde of seruice, he knoweth it not for his: And if the Gospeler see it, he knoweth it for none of his. For it is a mixture of whole and corrupte, where the sound part hath no more strengthe, the corrupte for the moste part hath the greater. Of suche sorte are the masses that are vsed at this day of many, ⟨p. 127⟩neither altogether Papisticall, nor yet wholy Euangelicall. For the Lordes supper appereth not in them: The Popishe masse also is cut of and altered in the same. If we beleue that Christ set forth the best rule of Religion and lyuinge, why followe we not that same only Maister? But we set more by the fauour of men, whiche in no wyse we will lose. For we set not so muche by the fauour of Christe, as to call that saying of the Apostle to memory, if I should please men I should not be Christes seruaunt.
