Besides, divers other texts of Scripture which occasionally occur are fully opened, and the whole so intermixed with pertinent histories, as will yeeld both pleasure and profit to the judicious reader. / By John Trapp M. A. Pastour of Weston upon Avon in Gloucestershire.

Thus have you made the Commandment of none effect]

Ye have* 1.1 sought to shoulder God out of his throne, to devest and spoil him of his rule and authority, to ungod him as it were, by making his Commandment void and invalid. And do not Papists as much as all this, whiles they teach that a Monk 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not leave his cloister, to

relieve his father, but must rather see and suffer him to die for hunger in the streets? Lyra hath these very words, Filius 〈◊〉〈◊〉 professionem factam in religione, excusatur à subveniendo paren∣libus. This Lyra was a famous English Jew, but an arrant Papist, as, for most part, all were then: for he flourished, Anno 1320.
