Chap. II.
At not onely Prophets, but also false-prophets vvere in the old Testament, so novv likevvise
there shal be Maisters of Heresie, to the damnation of them selues, and of their folovvers.
4 And of their damnation he pronounceth by examples (as he comforteth
the vertuous Catholikes or true beleeuers vvith the example of Lot)
because of their railing at their Superiors and Prelates, their blaspheming of Catholike
doctrine, their voluptuous liuing, their lecherie, their couetousnes, their
maner of seducing, and the persons seduced, 20 for vvhom it had been lesse damnable,
if they had neuer been Christians.
1 Bvt there vvere also false-prophets
in the people, as also in you there
note shal be lying maisters vvhich shal
bring in sectes of perdition, & denie
him that hath bought them, note the
Lord: bringing vpon them selues
speedie perdition.
2 And note many
shal folovv their riotousnesses, by
vvhom the vvay of truth shal be
blasphemed.
3 and in auarice shal they note vvith feined
vvordes make merchandise of you. vnto vvhom the iudgement
novv long since ceaseth not: and their perdition slumbereth
not.
4 For if God spared not Angels sinning: but
with the ropes of Hel being dravven dovvne into Hel deliuered
them to be tormented, that they should be reserued
vnto iudgem&ebar;t:
5 & he spared not the original vvorld, but
note kept the eight, Noë, the preacher of iustice, bringing in the
deluge vpon the vvorld of the impious.
6 And note bringing
the cities of the Sodomites and of the Gomorrheites into
ashes, he damned them vvith subuersion, putting an example
of them that shal doe impiously:
7 and note deliuered iust Lot
oppressed by the iniurie and luxurious conuersation of the
-- --
abominable men.
8 for in sight and note hearing he vvas iust:
dvvelling vvith them vvho from day to day vexed the iust
soule vvith vniust vvorkes.
9 Our Lord knovveth to deliuer the godly from tentation,
but to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement to
be tormented: note
10 and especially them vvhich vvalke after
the flesh in concupiscence of vncleannesse, and c&obar;temne dominion,
bold, self-pleasers: they feare not to bring in sectes,
blaspheming.
11 Vvhereas Angels being greater in strength
and povver, beare not the execrable iudgem&ebar;t note against them.
12 But these men as vnreasonable beastes, naturally tending
to the snare and into destruction, note in those things vvhich
they know not, blaspheming, shal perish in their corruption,
13 receiuing the revvard of iniustice, esteeming for a pleasure
the delightes of a day: note coinquinations and spottes, flovving
in delicacies, in their feastings rioting vvith you,
14 hauing
eies ful of adulterie and incessant sinne: alluring vnstable
soules, hauing their hart exercised vvith auarice, the children
of malediction:
15 leauing the right vvay they haue erred,
hauing folovved the vvay of Balaam of Bosor, vvhich loued
the revvard of iniquitie,
16 but note had a checke of his madnesse.
the dumme beast vnder the yoke, speaking vvith mans
voice, prohibited the folishnes of the prophet.
17 These are fountaines vvithout vvater, and cloudes, tossed
vvith vvhirlevvindes, to vvhom the mist of darkenesse is
reserued.
18 For, speaking the proud things of vanitie, they
allure in the desires of fleshly riotousnes, those that escape a
litle, vvhich conuerse in errour,
19 notepromising them libertie,
vvhereas them selues are the slaues of corruption. for
note vvherevvith a man is ouercome: of that he is the slaue also.
20 For if fleeing from the coinquinations of the vvorld in
the knovvledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesvs Christ, they
againe intangled vvith the same be ouercome: note the later
things are become vnto them vvorse then the former.
21 For
it vvas better for them not to knovv the vvay of iustice,
then after the knovvledge, to turne backe from that holy c&obar;maundement
vvhich vvas deliuered to them.
22 For, that of
the true prouerbe is chaunced to them, note The dogge returned
to his vomite: and, The sovve vvashed note into her vvallovving
in the mire.
