2a And teache that which Moses saith.
3! Christ condemneth the ambicion, couetousnes, and hyposcrisie of the Scribes and Pharises.
3b According to Moses whome they read, but not that which thei teache of them selues.
5c Thei were skroles of parchement wherein the commandements were written: and to this day the Jewes vse the same & close them in a piece of lether, & so binde them to their browe & left arme, to the intent thei might haue continual remembrance of the Law.
7/ Or, master.
8d Christ forbideth not to giue juste honour to Magistrates and Masters, but condemneth ambicion and superioritie ouer our brothers faith, which office apperteineth to Christ alone.
8/ Or, teacher.
10e The Phrises were called Masters or Fathers, and the Scribes Doctors.
11f The highest dignitie in the Church is no lordshippe, or dominion, but ministerie, and seruice.
13g Ye kepe backe the pure religion & knowledge of God when men are readie to embrace it.
13h Which haue now their fote within the dores.
15i They soght all meanes, that thei colde inuent, to make of a Gentile a Jewe.
16/ Or, is a detter.
17k And maketh it to be taken as an holie thing, because of the vse: and hereby Christ sheweth that mans doctrine doeth not onely obscure the worde of God, but is contrarie to it.
24l Ye staye at that which is nothing, & let passe that which is of greater importance.
25m Ye seke how to get estimacion with men and passe not whether ye haue a good conscience or no.
25/ Or, intemperancie.
27/ Or, painted.
29n For a remembrance of them, & in the meane season they passed not for their doctrine.
31! Their persecutions against the seruants of God.
31o It is not now onely that your nacion hathe begonne to be cruel against the seruants of God, & therefore it is not marueil thogh the children of suche murtherers handle roguhly the Prophetes.
34p To conuince you of greater ingratitude.
35q Christ meaneth that all their race shal be punished,, so that the iniquitie of the fathers shalbe powred into the bosome of the children, which resembled their fathers.
37! He prophecieth the destruction of Jerusalem.
39s He wil returne no more to them, as a teacher, but as a judge, when as they shalbe compelled to confesse (althogh to late) that he is the verie Sone of God.
