Matth. 23. 5.

The text.

But they do all their works, to be seene of men. For they make broad their ∴ philacteries, and enlarge their fringes.

The note.

These philacteries were peeces of parchment, wherein they wrote the ten commandements, and folded it, and caried it on their fordhead be∣fore their eies, imagining groslie and supersticiouslie, that so they fulfil∣led that which is said. Deut. 6. They shall be immooueable before thine eies, Hierom in 23. Mat.

The answere.

It is well that you so diligently tell vs the meaning of the worde philacteries, but the simpler sort must take it vpon your owne credit, for they can not looke into Hierom for it. But this they may sée, that the Pharisées neither in apparell, nor other∣wise hunted more for estimation of holines amongst men, than your sectaries (I should haue said) religious, do most manifestly.
