¶A lesson.
OF this article we may lerne this lesson that we ought to be wele ware that we neuer blyndfylde Christe or couer his face. But alas many Christyans nowe a dayes do couer Christ{is} face, whiche do synne priuily / thynkynge that god doth not se them. Also they do couer Christes face whiche seeth all thynges that do chaunge / gyue or sell craftelye / that thynge whiche ys e∣uyll or nought: for a good thynge. Also they couer Christes face which do derke or couer the Image of god in theyr soules with the cloke of wylfull ignorans or synne. And therfore saynte Hie∣rom sayth,* 1.1 that Christ wold haue his face couered, bycause that he wolde take awaye the couer and cloke of ignorance and synne from our hertes.
