Verse 4. For they binde heavy burdens, &c.]
Their humane 〈◊〉〈◊〉: so do the Popish Doctours (heires herein to the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, of whom this Sermon is not more historicall, then of the other it is propheticall,) The inferiour Clergy they make preach every day in Lent without intermission, throughout all Italy in the greater cities: so as six daies in the week they preach on the Gospel of the daies, and on the Saturday in honour and praise of our Lady. Whereas the Pope and Bishops preach not at all. So* 1.1 for the Laity; they must fast with bread and water; when the Priests have their suckets and other sweet meats three or four times on their mock-fast-daies. What should we speak of their pilgrimages to Peru, Ierusalem, &c. penances, satisfactions, &c. And no man must question, but obey without sciscitation. Walter Mapes sometimes Archdeacon of Oxford, relating the Popes 〈◊〉〈◊〉 simony concludes, Sit tamen Domina mater{que} 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Roma baculus in aquâ fractus, & absit credere quae vidimus. In things that make against our Lady-Mother Rome, we may not beleeve our own eyes.
