And whereas they cryed, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord (for to those was this speech first addressed, Ier. 7. 11.) as if they could not do amisse, because they served in the Temple, the Prophet tells them there, and our Saviour these here, that it's so much the worse. What should an Angel of dark∣nesse do in heaven? Who required these things at your hands, to tread the courts of my Temple? This is the gate of the Lord, in∣to which the righteous only should enter. The Papists in like sort cry out at this day, Ecclesia, Ecclesia, Nos sumus Ecclesia: and herewith think to shrowd their base huckstering of holy things. For omniae Romae venalia, all things are saleable and soluble at Rome. But this covering is too short, and their grosse theeve∣ries are now made apparent to all the world, as their rood of grace, and the blood of Hales were at Pauls crosse by that Noble Cromwell; and as their cheating trade of Indulgencies and Popes∣pardons was by Luther, who by dint of argument overthrew those Romish mony-changers, and drove the countrey of those 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, as Nazianzen fitly calleth them.
