Luke 8. 21.

The text.

Who answering, said to them, My ∴ mother & my brethren are they that heare the word of God and doe it.

The note.

He did not heere speake disdainfullie of his mother, but teacheth that our spiritual kinred is to be preferred before carnall cognation. Hilar. in 12. Mat.

The answer.

This néedlesse citing of the fathers you vse to deceiue the sim∣ple withall, and to make them imagine that your aduersaries hold that Christ spake disdainfully of his mother. For they do not thinke that you vse this and other authorities, but onlie where you néed, by that meanes to winne some credit to that which you write, which in this matter was altogether néedlesse.
