me why I came in that boate rather then in another beecause I woulde goe into that that I see stand nexte me it stoode more 〈◊〉 for me And so did Christe by Simons boate It stoode neerer for hym he saw a better seate in it A good natural reason Now come the papystes and they will make a misterye of it they wyll pycke out the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome in Pe ters boate We may make allegories ynough of euery place in scripture but surely it muste needes bee a symple matter that standeth on so weke a grounde But ye shal see further He desyred Peter to thruste out his boate from the shore He

Sautour Christe had gotten hym here An olde rotten boate And yet he 〈◊〉 his fathers will his fathers 〈◊〉 out of thys pulpyt He cared not for the pulpyt so he mighte do the people good In deede it is to bee commended for the preacher to stand or sit as the place is but I wold not 〈◊〉 it so 〈◊〉 estemed but that a good preacher may de clare the word of god 〈◊〉 on a horse or preching in a tre And yet if 〈◊〉 shoulde bee done the vnpreaching prelates would laugh it to scorne And though it be good to haue the 〈◊〉 sette vp in churches that the people maye resort thither yet I 〈◊〉 not haue it so 〈◊〉
