What they are assuming and accusing Tyndale of, is
the heresy that they themselves hold; and will be justly judged so
according to the word of God. The Lord himself so loved us that he
warned way in advance:
'It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and that the
servant be as his lord is. If they have called the lord of the house
beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?
Fear them not therefore. There is nothing so close, that shall not be
opened, and nothing so hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you
in darkness, that speak ye in light. And what ye hear in the ear that
preach ye on the house tops. And fear ye not them which kill the
body, and be not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him, which is
able to destroy both soul and body in hell.' Matthew x.
Thus far there is only a son of man that God rose from the dead, and
according to the Scriptures only HE must be invoked:
'Iesus said unto him I am the way, the verity, and life. No man
cometh unto the father, but by me.' John xiv.
Diligence in reasoning, and utmost obedidience to the word of God
must be taken very seriously, unless one finds himself zealously
striving against the faith first given to the Saints, yea, against
THE MAKER, and learn the hard lesson like king Saul according to the
Old Testament (see I Samuel chapter 28
"Woe be unto him that chideth with his maker, the potsherd
with the potter: Sayeth the clay to the potter: What makest thou? or
thy work serveth for nothing?" Isaiah 45:9 (Coverdale's Bible)
