The repressor of over much blaming of the clergy.

eny bodili vnclennes bifalle to the bier and siller; and, bi lijk skile, [The sense and construction re|quire either it folewith that to be inserted; or that in the clause fol|lowing to be cancelled; yet it is possible that Pecock may have left the text as the scribe first wrote it] bodili waisching schulde clense the soule fro alle [othere is added after alle in the margin by a later hand, but wrongly, as it seems.] maners of moral vnclennessis, aftir her opinioun; and that moral vnclennessis comen yn into the soule bi outward vnclennessis of vessels or of eny other outward vncleene thing.

The ije. point is: That Crist blamed there the firste now rehercid tradicioun, for that he was euen aȝens the commaundement of God, which is the comaunde|ment of lawe of kinde; and he blamed there the ije. now rehercid tradicioun, for that he was vein and waast and conteyned an vntrouthe of opinioun, thouȝ he were not contrarie to eny comaundement of God.

The iije. point is this: That of and bi thilk ij. long processis of Matheu and of Mark kunne not be had that Crist blamed alle the tradiciouns which Iewis [the Iewis, MS. (first hand).] maden; forwhi in special he blamed no mo there than these ij. tradiciouns now rehercid, and as in general he blamed [blaned, MS.] no mo neither othere tradiciouns than tho whiche weren contrarie and aȝens the co|maundement of God.

The iiije. point is this: That Crist blamed not tho ij. tradiciouns now rehercid for that [forthat, MS. (accidentally?)] thei weren mennis tradiciouns, but for that thei weren yuel; so that this was not the caus of the blamyng, for that men made tho tradiciouns; but this was al the cause and ground of the blamyng, for that thei weren yuel and badde: and therbi folewith not, that alle othere mennys tra|diciouns not being yuel schulden be worthi be blamed.

Now ferther for answere in special to be mad it is to be seid thus: If Crist hadde there blamed alle tra|diciouns
