The text.

And whosoeuer shall ∴ scandalize one of these litle ones be∣leeuing in me: it is good for him rather if a milstone were put about his necke, and he were cast into the sea.

The note.

To giue scandal by our life to the weake in faith, is a great sinne, spe∣cially in priestes, preachers, and princes.

The answer.

Your séeking for tearmes to the multitude vnknowen and out of vse, is (as you tearme it) a great scandal or offence to obscure and darken of purpose the scriptures of God, and therefore in you a great sinne.
