Beware, lest any man spoyle you through Philosophy and disceitfull vanitie, after the tradicion of men, and after the ordinaunces of the worlde, and not after Christe.
Suche as would bring you frō your simplicitie, watche busely, watche muste ye on the other syde lykewyse, least beyng as it were enchaunted with the royall and glyttering apparences of theyr Phylosophie, ye be frō your sound fayth altred and brought to the vayne deuises o•• men, and so become as it were a spoyle or praye for your aduersaries, as ye shall vn doubtedly be, if ye turne from the truth of the gospell, and be led with the rules of mennes onlye makyng, whiche stande in suche thinges, as maye with our carnal eyes be sene, and in the grosse pointes of this world, wher as Christes doctrine is heauenly and spirituall, and teacheth the righte and trewe religion, whiche standeth in myndes, and not in meates and drinkes, nor in bodily apparell, no nor in keping of dayes, nor yet in was∣shyng of handes, whiche thynges to trewe religion make nothing. Suche pointes withdraw vs rather frō Christe, and deuide vs frō the welspring, from whence it were mete we sought for all grace and goodnes.
