Rom. 1••. 14.
The text.
Blesse them that persecute you: blesse, and ∴ curse not.
The note.
Cursing is a vice whereunto the common people is much giuen, who often curse them, on whom they cannot otherwise be reuenged: they may see heere that it is a great fault.
The answer.
The common people learned of your holie father of Rome to curse them on whom they cannot otherwise be reuenged. And that they haue not espied this to be a great fault, the fault hath béen in you, which haue kept till now of late this, and other scrip∣tures from the eies of the common people, to the end they should not sée it. And we sée yet at this day, that this vice there rageth and raigneth most, where the people are most ignorant, and most inclined to poperie.
