M. Hardinge.

Yee doo wel to compare your selues with this Cobilon. For in deede* 1.1 ye doo as he did. Yee were sent‡ 1.2 by Christe to his Vicare, Peters Successour, to be fedde and gouerned like shepe vnder the shepe∣herde Christe and his Churche be a perfite body, he the head, the true beleuers knitte togeather in charitie the members▪ eche one in his order and degree. He is the vine, wee the boughes and branches. * 1.3 VVhat member cutte of from the bodie, liueth? what boughe broken from the tree, groweth? As e∣uery suche member dieth, and bough withereth: So if ye remaine not in the Catholike Churche, which is the body of Christe, yee drawe no life from the heade, yee haue no parte of the Spirite, that from thence redoundeth to euery member, yee haue no portion of the vitall iouysse that issueth from the roote. Then what remaineth, but that ye be caste into the fire? For this cause S. Cyprian and other Fathers, often times haue saide, that out and besides the Churche, there is no saluation.
