he that is ashamed of me before men / of him will I also be
ashamed before my father which is in heauen. Morouer I wold it
wer well knowen vnto these men / that it is no true faythe which
doth not breake forthe in workinge that worke which dothe agree
with faithe. As is writen of Christe / who verylie soughte the
glorye of his father / The zeale of thy house hathe eatẽ me /
This zeale dyd not lye in Christes brest only / but it brake
forthe into wordes / as it apeareth by his sermons / and into
deedes also / as yt apeareth ther / wher he withe a whippe dyd
dryue the byars and sellers owt of the temple:
This is a zeale / which only deseruyth the name of a christian
zeale. And euen the same I saye of faythe. What zeale thẽ / what
faithe / what studie or care for faithe is it / that these men
do bragge of / that they haue shutt vp so close in their brestes
that it breaketh not forthe into wordes and dedes? As This true
christian zeale / and their dissemblinge can not be together in
oone man / euen so true and lyuely faith can not lurcke in such
a dissemblinge breste. ffurthermore / there are two kindes of
worshippe due vnto god / an inwarde / and an outwarde
worshippe / The inwarde worshippe is of the mynde / that is when
we beleue goddes truithe / and do thinke of god true and worthye
thinges / The owtwarde worshippe is of the bodye / which is
declared by those owtwarde signes that do belonge to the true
worshippe of god / In lyke maner there are two kindes of
Idolatries / one is inwarde / which is the Idolatrie of the
mynde / that is when a man dothe not thinke well / nor beleue
trulye on the true lyuing godd / but dothe fayne vnto him selfe
throughe false doctrine / either a straũge god in his owne
mynde / or straũge worshippinge of god: An other is outwarde
wich is Idolatrie of the bodie / and that is whẽ we do bestowe
the worshippe wich is only due vnto god vppon creatures / And
whẽ we do owtwardlye worshippe god other wise then he wilbe
worshipped.
Truly Theise dissemblers do not giue to god this worshipp of
mynde and bodie which is due vnto him / but the Idolatrie of
mynd and bodie they do commytt / bothe because they owtwardlie
do ioyne with papistes in their Idolatrie / and because in their
mynde they do persuade them selues that it is lawfull for them
so to do. We thinke / (saye they) as you thinke / and in our
hartes we do reteyne the truithe / and so our mynde is pure. But
your bodyes ye do giue ouer to the deuill and to Idolls.
