If ye haue sower hatred and varyaunce amonge you in youre harte wyll not ye reioyce and be lyars agaynst the truth for thys is not the wysdome comminge from aboue but earthly bestial and deuelysh Where as is enmyte contention there is inconstancy and all noughty doyng The wisdom that desceÌ„deth from God is fyrste chaste and so peaseable mylde treatable full of mercy and good frutes wythout any mysdemynge or dyssymulatyon Nowe to compare these fruites vnto the actes of these Lutheran factyons ye shall fynde a farre difference Wherefore seyng that by longe experyence I haue perceaued the

vnfaynedlye declared And be ye full assured that I reherse not by a greate parte all the abuses manyfestlye knowen by theÌ„ nor so many as I could shew whiche god wyllyng hereafter in proces of tyme

Thoughe they do fall in harme yet haue they hope to wynne theyr fauour or els why are they so desyrous to haue so many ley meÌ„ present at their examinatioÌ„s N. They make of it a reasonable cause for .ii. coÌ„sideratioÌ„s One is to thintent they might not be wrongefullye oppressed in corners another is because they would that people shulde bear witnes of their constancy in confessynge the trouthe for Christes sake W. These coÌ„syderations in theym yf they were true as thei be false were yet of small efficacite against the euangelike perfection As touchynge the fyrste God promyseth yf hys seruauntes be wronged pryuelye he wyll reuenge them opeÌ„ly And Christ in the gospell exhortynge vs to suffraunce byddeth his discyples to be ioyful in persecution saying yâ— happy are ye when ye are belyed euyll spoken vpon and extremelye dealte withall for my names sake The other appearethe to be an excuse of vaynglory couetynge wordly prayse where as they perceiue that people fauourynge theyr parte wyll interprete to theyr commendation what so euer they say though it be agaynste scripture coÌ„trary to all verite Saynte Peter wylleth vs to geue accounte of oure fayth to euery bodye and that myldely with allowlynes We haue no president of the appostles that euer they disdained to answer before the infidele iudges tyll the vulgar multitude were by them or that they requyred assystence of greate men to be recordes of theyr wordes Wher fore I meruel what conscience these persons haue whiche are so importune to be examined in presence of rude seculers ignoraunt people when they answer so doubtfully that the beste learned can not well construe theyr me anynge And in Pryncypall articles wherevpon dependeth our saluacion or dampnation some answere so nakedly with blynd shyftes that they be able to brynge vnlearned people into erroure of things wherof they neuer douted before vsynge euer ouerthwart speche and quaylynge sentences of double vnderstandynge wyth protestations of hypocrysye after thys fashion In good fayth I thynke there is a purgatorye albeit I can not tell whether I may beleue it or no. I suppose that confessyon made to a preiste and pylgrymages maye be well done but I fynde them not in Scripture I beleue in these words of christ this is my bodye but as concernyng his bodely presence in forme of breade to saye any thinge it is aboue my capacitie and I dare not meddle with so dyffuse maters I rekeÌ„ that I may beleue yâ— doctours of the church yf they speak not agaynste the worde of god c. To vse such aÌ„vages in weyghtye causes to put in question a fresshe the cases defyned by generall counsels as thoughe we were vncertayne of our beleif new to begyn agayne I repute it no spyryte of truthe sekynge goddes honoure and edification of theyr neighbour Nor I dout not but at the day of iudgement they shal make a more seryous aunswere This consideracioÌ„ is also as I haue sayde very playnlye false For wheÌ„ these sly shyftes fayle theÌ„ they shew no constancy of their vnfaythfull doctryne but falsely forswere them self and saye they neuer sayde so the hole audience detesting theyr periury all saue onely theyr owne sect whiche as for periury pardon eche other To speke of manyfest mysliuers and open transgressours whom may we well exempte consyderynge howe prone and redy the hole world is from the moste to the leaste to declyne and fall vnto euyll Our faythe whiche God hath geuen vs to buylde good workes vppon is waxen barrayne and fruteles Charite likewise wherin we shuld be tryed to be the very disciples of Christe is waxed cold through the excesse of iniquite Amiable conâ—oroâ— with christen vnite whervpon all vertue fasteneth her fundation is fallen in ruyne to the fre entresse of hatefull discencâ—oÌ„ lyberte of alvyces In euery state and degre yâ— one barketh at the other one obiecteth agaynste another his saultes â–ª eche of them farynge other to be causes of theyr myseries yet neuer a one fashioneth him selfe towarde any amendment for hys owne parte N. By my trouthe I deme the people would be good ynough if they had good heades W. I deny not that verely but the better that the heades be the better were the body lyke to be and yâ— euyll yâ— is in euyll heades descendeth down into euery part and maketh all the bodye the worse And yet surely if the people be euyll the synne of them causeth God sometyme to send them heades of the same sute both popes emperoures kynges cardynalles bysshoppes preistes and curates For it is the synne of the people as Job testifieth that causeth God to suffer hypocrytes sometyme to raygne ouer them Hypocrites he calleth them that represente the personages of these estates whose partes they do playe for a countrnaunce and do the contrarye in dede And as far as I haue redde in the byble all the while the people of Israell were good obeying goddes lawes and sought his honour God gaue them gracious gouernoures vertuous priestes and trewe Prophets But as sone as they swarued fel vnto ydolatry he sent theÌ„ for theyr punyshmente vngracious princes vycyous prelates and false prophetes so that no difference was betwene the people the prestes nor yâ— people could not ymagyn so outragious abominations but princes and prestes bothe were redy to fortefye them in theyr vnhappynes N. yet yf ye remember well the storyes of the byble ye shall fynde yâ— the traÌ„sgressioÌ„ of goddes lawes amoÌ„ge the people redounded fyrst froÌ„ yâ— heades by theyr pernicious occasion And as towchynge false prophetes and yll prestes God him selfe greuously complayneth vpon them shewing how the people are seduced by them to the pollutynge of hys name and violation of his lawes Whose enmious wickednes Ezechiell Hieremye with diuers other prophets declare at length Dyd not the Belial preistes Ophni Phines by theyr pestylent example and le cherours lyuynge corrupt manye one vpon whome God takynge vengeaunce they loste theyr lyues in battayl and the arke of God wherof they had the cure takeÌ„ by the Philisteis xxx thousande fyghtyng men of the Israhelyte people were slayne in one daye Likewise yâ— chyldren of Samuell whiche were iudges of yâ— people not en suynge theyr fathers steppes but set vpon couetousnes toke rewardes and peruerted iugemente by whose occasyon the people were moued to aske a kynge vnto theyr desolation Moreouer the storye of kynge Saule is playn for whose pryuate disobedience the hole lande of Israell smarted full â—ore Kyng Dauid thoughe he was a blessed maÌ„ yet brought vnto folye for to nomber his people they were fayne to

The gospell of Christe whiche is goddes worde is free and can not be bouÌ„de nor kepte froÌ„ any Christen man N. By saynt Marye for all that laye people maye not be suffred to haue the newe testament in englysshe whyche I call the gospell W. O ye meane Tyndals Gospell N.

Though it were amended sufficiently corrected yet wyll I not saye that it is expediente for laye people to haue it considering the time as it is nowe N. Whye ye sayd that the gospell maye not be kept froÌ„ christeÌ„ men W. No more it maye thoughe it be restrayned from the laye people in theyr vulgare tonge For the worde of God whiche is the worde of fayth as Scripture sayth is nere the in thy mouth in thy harte to thintent thou mayste do it N. Than I pray you where saynte Paule sayth that fayth cometh by herynge and herynge cometh by the worde of God how can we haue it without preachynge or information of it by readynge of scrypture W. Outwarde preaching and lyterall redyng of scripture are necessary meanes to attayne vnto the knowlege of the spyrite N. Wherfore then is the Gospell wythholden from the laye people W. I sayd they be two thynges necessarye but I sayde not that both twayne be to euerye man necessary But it is necessarye that euery man haue the tone or the tother and so haue they for they haue the worde of God preched expouned vn to them N. ye as the preistes lyste with false gloses W. Wyth the same gloses that the olde holy doctours sayntes haue made other maner of meÌ„ thaÌ„ Luther Tyndale which now corrupt the trewth wyth theyr false gloses N. But why should not the comeÌ„ people haue the scrypture them self in theyr own mother tong W Because of theyr abuse makyng of theyr owne gloses many also for theyr vnworthynes accordynge to Christes coÌ„maundement forbiddynge to cast perles before swyne or to gyue holy thynges to dogges Dyd not saynt Paul forbidde women to speake the worde of god in congregacyons for the auoydyng of abuse and dysorder Also dyd not he and Bar nabas forsake preachyng to the iewes because of theyr vnworthynes N. That is not a lyke case for the text is playn that the iewes wylfully resisted the worde of god and wolde not receyue it But these people are so desyrous that they putte theym selfes in no small ieopardye many tymes for the hauyng of it W. I graunt there be some which of a good mynd are desirous to haue the gospell in theyr mother toÌ„ge for the erudycioÌ„ coÌ„fort of theyr soules But they that be suche good folk may be wel sufficiently fed with the gospell punched so wyll they rather chese to be than to haue the scrypture ronne in euery rasshe bodyes hande the wold abuse it to their owne harme and other meÌ„nes to For well ye wot many ther be and as it appeareth in Almayne where they haue the scripture translated alreadye the more part and farre the greater multitude are not lesse vnworthye in receyuinge it then were the Jewes in the wylfull resistaunce of Christes gospell whiche couet it onely for the libertie to be free from the exercyse of penaunce and doyng of good workes to rayle and iest of other mennes fawtes wyth out any correctioÌ„ of their owne synfull lyues nothyng conformable to the vertue of the gospell whereof to bable manye wordes they are not dombe Marke it there substauncially in cities and townes where ye se the people most ryfest most busye to prate of the Gospell whether they be or not as gret vsurers disceiuers of they re neyboures blasphemous swerers euyll spekers and geuen to all vyces as depely as euer they were This I am sure of and dare boldely affirme that sythe the tyme of this new contencious lernyng the drede of God is greatlye quenched and charitable compassion sore abated Shall ye not se there a cock brayned courtier that hath no more fayth than a Turke lesse christen maners thaÌ„ a Pagane with lordelye couÌ„tenauÌ„ce knauyshe conditions whiche takyng the name of god iÌ„ vayne shall vnreuerently alledge the gospell with scoffyng and scornynge in reprehensyon of the clargye where as hys owne â—ewd lyuynge is so vnthryfty that ye can not aspy one good pyont in hym except it be vpon his hosen nor a nynche of honesty besyde his apparayle nor scantly therone neyther beyng al to hacked and iagged wyth dowble weapen redy to fyght and syngle wyt busy to brawle and chyde more lyke a furious tormentour of Herode than apacyeÌ„t dysciple of Christ Shal ye not also se there a marchauÌ„t peraueÌ„ture made a gentyll maÌ„ by promocion ere euer that he had a good yemaÌ„s condicyoÌ„s whych gettynge hys chefe substaunce as many do there by vsury false dysceyte of trewe people and other wrongfull wayes wyll take vpon hym to preache the Gospell agaynste the auaryce of relygious persones how they hauyng theyr bare necessary foode ought to parte the resydue of theyr gooddes with pore people where as he hym selfe hath thousandes lyenge by hym in store vnoccupyed and wyll nother help his poore neyghbour nor scarcely gyue a galy halpeny to a nedy creature in extreme necessyte And at theyr belly festig days amonge such of theyr affynyte which are not so wyse nor well lerned as they wolde be sene yf it chaunce them to haue
