[ 14] The Papist proceedes, and concludes with this speach.
OVr Sauiour warnes vs to haue care,and of false prophets to beware,Which in his name to vs will come,not sent by him, and yet they runne:Strong theeues, not entring in arightby Christ the dore, but in the nightThey breake in at the windowe hie,and deale that none may them espie:Their comming is not to doe good,but like to Wolues they thirst for blood.
[ 15] Yet in sheepes clothing these doe goe,* 1.1because Gods people should not knowe,But that they are his Pastors sure,which Christ hath sēt with doctrine pure,To teach, to preach, to set and sowe,that Christ in th'end might reap & mow:But when their seeds are somewhat sprung,they proue but tares and darnell young,* 1.2Thistles and thornes so are they found,choking and cumbering the ground.
