e god: for the same god which was represented
vnto them by the Arke of wodde and the temple / mighte euen aswell
be represented vnto them by these newe signes and golden calues:
There is no chaunge but euen of the forme and owtwarde shape: for
as at Hierusalem by the Arke / so here by the calues the liuinge
god sholde be represented: And what makethe yt matter what the
signe be / so the worshippe be all oone: Therfore the same
worshipp that ells they sholde do at Hierusalem / they mighte
more commodiusli do yt in bethel / and dan. So that he dothe
nothynge ells / but establishe this owtwarde worke / in wich he
wolde haue them worship the true god: but he hade no warraunte in
godds worde for it / and that beinge absent / ther is nothinge
in his acte remayninge but mans worcke / supersticion / and
Idolatrie: so is it iudged. And therfor none of his subiectes
shuld haue herckned to hym. So now / when Tiraunts / Kinges /
Queenes / Bisshopps / and such other as ar the soudiours of
Antichriste / the Pope I meane / do compel and constrayn men
vnto such vile and vngodly supersticions as the popishe brood
haue and do sett upp, althoughe they do pretend a goode well
willing mynde vnto their poeple and countrith (as thei saye) and
that all shalbe for their wealthe: And thoughe they do also
saye / that theise thinges ar of an auncient begynnynge and
contynuance: Yet indeed they ar but popishe Idolatrours / and to
Idolatrie do they trayn men. Therfor their subiectes must not
herken vnto them neither obey them herin / But do rather as
S. Paule teachith.

[[Ephes. 5.]]

Haue no felowshipp with their vnfruitfull works / but rather
reproue them. He callith theim their worckes, for gods worckes
they can not be called / bicause they do differ / and swarue from
his worde: with them (saithe he) haue no felowshipp What then is
to be doon in that case? We must (Paule saith) reproue theim.
And that so oft as neede shall require / to reproue theim with
greate libertie and boldenes: So farr must we be from
dissemblinge with them / that we must (he saithe) reproue them.
If thou be a preacher / preache against them: If thow be noone /
yet speake against them / reproue them / and condemn them. But
our men do saye / That it wer very perillus to do thus: for then
(saye they) shall we be burned / or hanged / we shall loose our
goodes / londes / and promocions / I heare you well. And do yowe
on the other part consider this as well / that ther is
