But hear what the Lord saith to these mongrels.1 It were better, saith he, thou were either cold or hot. It were better thou were a sinner or an heathen, than an Hypocrite, and a mongrel. For so mightest thou be more easily holpen, according to that saying of the Lord, If you were blind, ye should have no sin.2 Now where ye seem to your selves just and sufficiently taught and furnished with Godly rites and cults that please God, you leave no place to further instruction, but contemning the word of God, and Christs institution, ye prefer your mixtures before all the justifications of God. The Lord also in the Gospel saith unto the Pharisees: Amen I say unto you, that Publicans and common harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.3
