The texte.

Folyshe questyons, and genealogies, and braulyng, thorowe s••tyuinges about the lawe, auoyde: for they are vnprofitable and superfluous.

But folyshe and vnconnyng questions, and entangled genealogies, and contenciouse disputacions or rather warre vpon Moses lawe, whiche some fo∣lowyng the trade of the Iewes do styrre vp to gette them a name thereby and vantage, caste them away as superfluous and vuprofytable to the lyfe that is after the gospell. For what death it hurte good lyuynge, yf I knowe not why Moses graue can no where be founde? And whether it be as the Iewes do say lest he should be raysed vp agayne by enchaunters? Or yf I knowe not howe many yeares Matusalem lyued? Or of what age Salomon was, whan he be∣gate Roboam? Why Moses did forbyd to eate the fleshe of swine? Why the Iewes do suppose, that the blode of a Wesell must with so great diligence be purged? And many other more folyshe than these. In the exposicion whereof, what profiteth him to tary that hasteth to the rewarde of a true christian lyfe? These thynges must rather ••e cutte awaye than declared, and they which pro∣fesse them as excellente thynges, oughte more to be reproued and sharplye re∣buked than to be ouercome with disputacion.
