¶ The .viii. Chapter.

TO speake of thinges dedicate vnto y∣dols / we [ A] * 1.1 are sure that we all have kno∣wledge. knowledge maketh a man sw∣ell: but love edifieth. If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge / he knoweth nothyn∣ge yet as he ought to knowe. But yf eny man love god / the same is knowen of him.

To speake of meate dedicat vnto ydols / we are sure that ther is none ydoll in the worlde

and that ther is none other god but one. And though ther be y^• are called goddes / whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes ma∣ny and lordes many) yet vnto vs is there but one god / which is the father▪of whom are all thinges / & we in him: & one lorde Iesus Christ* 1.2 by whom are all thinges / and we by him.

But every man hath not knowledge. For so¦me suppose that ther is an ydoll / vntyll this houre / and eate as of a thinge offered vnto y^e ydole / & so their consciences beynge yet wea∣ke / are defyled. Meate maketh vs not accepta¦ble to god. Nether yf we eate / are we y^e better.* 1.3 Nether yf we eate not / are we the worsse.

But take hede that youre libertie cause not [ D] y^e weake to faule. For yf some man se y^e which hast knowledge / sit at meate in the ydoles tē∣ple / shall not the conscience of hym which is weake / be boldened to eate those thing{is} which are offered vnto y^e ydole? And so thorow thy knowledge shall y^e weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed. Whē ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consci∣ences ye synne agaynst Christ. Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother / I will eate no flesshe* 1.4 whill the worlde stondeth / because I will not hurte my brother.

Charite what it doeth. Paule proueth him selfe an apostle equall to the best: in that the spirite be reth recor¦de to his preachyn¦ge / and as manye we¦re by him conuerted as by the apostles.
