To beleue in God the Father in God the sonne in god the holi gost thre persons and one God Fecken Is ther nothing els required in a Christian but to beleue in God Iane. Yes we must beleue in him we must loue hym with al our hart with al our soule and al our minde and our neyghbour as our selfe Fecken VVhy thē faith iustifieth not nor saueth not Iane. Yes verely saith as S. Paule saith only iustifieth Fec whi s Paul saith if I haue al faith without loue it is nothing Iane. True it is for how can I loue hym in whom I trust not Or howe can I trust in him whō I loue not faith and loue agreeth both together yet loue is comprehēded in faith Fecken Howe shall we loue our neyghbour Iane. To loue oure neyghbour is to feede the hungri clothe the naked and geue drinke to the thirsty and to do to hym as we wold do to our selues Feck why then it is necessary to saluation to do good workes and it it not sufficient to beleue Iane. I deny that and I affirme that faith only saueth But it is mete for Christiās in token that thei folow their master Christ to do good workes yet may we not say that thei profit to saluaciō For although we haue al don al that we cā yet we be vnprofitable seruauntes and the fayth onelye in Christes bloude saueth Fecken How many sacrameutes be there Iane. Two the one the sacrament of Baptisme the other the sacrament of our Lordes suppet Fecken No ther be vii Iane. By what scripture find you that Fecken well we will talke ther of hereafter But what is signifyed by your two sacramentes Ian. Bi the sacramēt of baptisme I am washed with water regenerated bi the spirit that washing is a tokē to me that I am the child of God The sacrament of the lordes supper is offred vnto me as a sure seale and testimoni that I am by the bloud of Christe whiche 〈◊〉 shedde for me on the crosse mad● partaket of the euerlasting kyngdome Feck why ▪ what do you receiue in that bread Do you not receiue the very body and bloude of Christ Iane. No surelye I do not beleue so I thinck that at that supper sireceiue neither flesh nor bloud but only bread wine The which breade when it is broken the wine whē it is dronke putteth me in minde how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken his bloud shed on the crosse and with that bread wine I receyue the benefites that cam bi breaking of his bodi bi the sheddyng of his bloud on the crosse for mi sins Feck why doth not Christ speake these wordes ▪ take eate this is my bod● Require we ani plainer wordes Doth not he say that it is hys body Iane. I graunt he saith so so he saieth I am the vine I am 〈…〉 but yet he is neuer the mote the vine nor do●e Doth not S. Paull say that he calleth those things that are not as though thei were God forbid that I shuld say that I eate the very natural bodi bloud of Christ for then eyther I shuld pluk awai my redētiō either els ther wer .ii. bodies or .ii. christs or els ii bodies the one body was tormented on the crosse then if thei did eate another body thē either he had ii bodies either els if his bodi wer eaten it was not broken vpō the crosse or els if it were broken vpon the crosse it was not eaten of his disciples Feck whi is it not as

possible that Christ by his power coulde make his bodye both to be eaten broken as to be borē of a womā without the sede of mā as to walke on the sea hauing a body other such like miracles as he wrought by his power only Iane. Yesvereli if god wold haue done at his supper a miracle he might haue don so but I say he minded no worke nor miracle but only to breake his bodi shed his blud on the crosse for our sins But I pray you answer me to thys one question wher was Christ whē he sayd Take eate this is my body was not he at the table when he said so He was at that time aliue and suffred not til the next daye well what tooke he but breade and what brake he but bread and what gaue he but breade Looke what he toke he brake and looke what he brake he gaue and looke what he gaue that did they eate and yet al this while he hym selfe was at supper before his disciples or els they were deceiued Feck You groūd your faith vpon suche authors as say vn say both with a breathe not vpon the church to whō you ought to giue credyt Iane. No I ground my faith vpon gods word not vpō the church For if the church be a good churche the faith of the churche must be tried by gods word not gods word by the church neither yet mi faith Shall I beleue the churche because of antiquitie Or shall I geue credit to that church that taketh awai from me that half part of the Lordes supper and wyl let no lai mā receiue it in both kindes but thēselues which thing if they denye to vs thei denie vs parte of our saluation and I say that is an euil church and not the spouse of Christ but the spouse of the diuel that altreth the Lordes supper both taketh from it and addeth to it To that churche I saye God wil adde plages frō that church wyll he take their parte out of the booke of lyfe Do you not learne that of S. Paul when he ministred it to the Corinthians in both kyndes Shall I beleue that churche God forbid Fecken That was done of a good intent of the churche to auoide an heresi that sprōg on it Iane. whi shal the church alter gods wil and ordinaūces for a good intent How did king Saul the lord define with these such like perswasions He wolde haue had me to haue leaned to the churche but it would not be Ther wer many mo thinges wherof we reasoned but these wer the chief Be me Iane Dudley These woordes were spoken openlye After this Master Feckenham tooke his leaue sayinge that he was sorie for her For said he I am sure we two shal neuer mete ▪ Trothe it is quoth she that wee shal neuer mete vnlesse god turne your hart ▪ For I am sure vnles you repent and turne to God you ar in an euyl case and I pray to god in the bowels of his mercie to sende you his holy spirite For he hath geuen you his great gift of vtteraunce if it please him to open the eyes of your hart to his truth And so she departed AN EXORTATION written by the Lady Iane the night before she suffered in the ende of the New-testament in Greke whiche she sent to her sister Lady Katetine I Haue here sent you good sister Katetine a booke which although it be not outwardly trimmed with gold yet inwardli it is more worth thē precious stones It is the boke deare Sister of the Lawe of the Lorde It is his testament and last will which he bequethed vnto vs wretches whiche shall leade you to the path of eternall ioye And if you with a good mynde read it and with an ernest desire folowe it it shal bring you to an immortal and euerlasting life It will teache you to liue and learne you to dye It shal winne you more then you should haue gained by the possession of your woful fathers landes For as if God had prospered him you should haue inherited his lādes so if you appli diligently this boke seking to direct your life after it you shal be an inheritour of sutche riches as neither the couetous shal withdtaw from you nether the theife shal steale neither yet the mothes corrupte Desire with Dauid good sister to vnderstād the law of the lotd your god Liue stil to dye that you by death maye purchase eternall life And trust not that the tēdernes of your age shal lēgthen your life For assone if God cal goth the yong as the olde And laboure alwaye to learne to die Deny the world defie the deuil and dispisethe flesh and delight your selfe only in the Lord.
