¶The sixt part.
15 Yea, and I had almost said, euen as
they, &c.
OUt of it we learne, that no man should
iudge of Gods workes, nor Gods peo∣ple,
but by the word of God. In this be∣halfe
we do many times gréeuously of∣fend
the Almightie God. For when
the world damneth Gods word, then doeth the most
part of men the same. If the world say it is true, we
say so to. If the world say it is vntrue, we say it is
vntrue. And if the world condemne it, we condemne
it also. Likewise, if the world accompt them cursed
descriptionPage 86
and damned, that be persequuted for Gods sake, and
for the testimonie of his name: we do so to. Yea, and
moreouer, if the world slaunder and lie vppon poore
men and poore women, that suffer for Gods sake: we
speake as they doe, & sometimes persequute also the
good with them. This is an horrible thing, to re∣proue,
(after such a carnall and worldly sort,) God,
and all his blessed people: whiche will be at lengthe
(doubtlesse) a iust condemnation of the world.
