A17651	An epistle both of Godly consolacion and also of aduertisement written by Iohn Caluine the pastour & preacher of Geneua, to the right noble prince Edvvarde Duke of Somerset, before the tyme or knoweledge had of his trouble, but delyuered to the sayde Duke, in the time of his trouble, and so translated out of frenshe by the same Duke.	Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564.; Somerset, Edward Seymour, Duke of, 1506?-1552.	1550 (1550)	STC 4407; ESTC S118174	16,566	68

good and holye soeuer it bee vnlesse that euen at once with it the power and vertue of good preaching bee desplayed and sette foorthe togethers It is not without● cause that it is sayd that Iesus Christ shall strike the year●he by the Sceptre of hys mouthe and shall destroye the euyll by the Spirite of hys lyppes It is the meane by the whiche he will ouercome vs in destroyinge all that whiche is agaynste hym The gospel is in scripture called the kingdome of God ▪ And for that cause the gospel is also called the kingdome of GOD. Also albeit that thordinances statutes of princes bee good helpes to aduaunce and mayntaine the state of christianitie So likewyse god will declare hys souereygne vertue in the spirituall sweorde of hys woorde with it setting furth thesame by his pastours And to thintent I woulde not long trouble you my Lord I wil come to the seconde poynt which I haue purposed to shewe vnto you Abuses muste bee cleane taken away It is to abolyshe and clearely to take away the abuses corrupcions that Sathan hath mingled heretofore with the ordinaunces of god We knowe that vnder the pope there is a bastard christianitie whiche god shall dysalowe in the laste daye Vnder 〈◊〉 papacie is a bastarde christianitie forasmuche as at thys daye he hath condemned the same by hys woorde If wee desyre to retiere the worlde from suche perdicion there is nothyng better then to folow the exaumple of S. Paule who willynge to correcte the euyll that the Corinthians had ioyned to the supper of our Lorde sayde vnto them I haue receyued of the Lord that whiche I haue geuen vnto you We mu●… returne to the ryght commaundement of GOD. Of that we must gather one generall instruccion to returne to the right and natural commaundemēt of God if we wil haue a good and an approued reformacion of hym For so manye mynglynges as men haue set vp of theyr owne inuencions there be so many infecctons which turne vs from the holy vsage of that that God hath geuen vs for our healthe So to 〈◊〉 of halfe the braunches of such abuses It is not enough to cut of sum of the brāches of abuses it cannot bring again the thynges in perfecte and pure state beecause that wee then shall haue alwayes a Christianitie counterfette I say thys for that that some vnder the coulour of moderacion bee of opinion to suffre many abuses without taking them awaye and they thynke that it is inough to haue takē out the roote of the principal But contrary wise we se how muche the seede of lyes is fertile The seede of lyes is fertile and that one grayne of that is sufficiente for to fyll all the worlde within three dayes as menne bee enclined and geuen vnto Our Lorde teacheth vs otherwyse for whē Dauid speaketh of idols he sayeth that their name shal not passe by hys mouthe to thentente to declare vnto vs what horror and detestacion wee oughte to haue them in And if we considre well how much we haue offended God in the time of our ignoraunce we ought to be dowbly remēbred for to eschew the inuencions of Sathan The craft of Sathā who hathe prouoked vs to doe such euil thinges vsing thē as allurementes whiche serueth not but to seduce the poore simple folkes On the other syde we see that albeit menne be sufficiētly warned of their faultes and errours and be aduertised of them asmuch as is possible Yet neuertheles they be so hardened that no man can attayne to the perfecte ende Thā if there shal be left vnto thē some dregges to remaine it shal be a nouryshemente of muche more and greater obstinacye and a couerture to hyde all doctrine that may be propouned vnto them I confesse that it is conueniente to obserue some moderacyon Moderacion is necessarye and some ceremonies may be vsed and that to great extremitie is neither good ne profitable Lykewyse it is conuenient to vse the ceremonies according to the grosenes of the people but it maye not bee that that whiche is of Sathan and of the Antichriste shoulde passe vnder that coloure It is for that cause that holye scripture praising the kinges which did destroy the idolatries The kynges that destroyed Idolatrie not hauīg plucked away altogether neuertheles gaue vnto them a marke for that they had not destroyed the chappelles and places of foolyshe deuocion Wherfore my lord seing that god hath brought you so farre foorth I praye you continue without any excepcion to the intente that he maye approue you the setter foorthe of hys temple in suche wyse as the tyme of the kynge youre Nephieu maye bee compared to the time of Iosias and that you maye sette al thynges in suche state as there shall reste nothyng to hym but to maintayne the good ordre whiche god shal haue prepared vnto hym by your meane I wil allege vnto you an exaumple of suche dregges whiche peraduenture may rest to bee a litle leuen the which in th end will make the paste sowre Agaynste prayinge for the dead at receiuing of the cōmunion They dooe in your countreye some kynde of prayer for the dead when the communion is receyued I know wel it is not for to aduowe the purgatory of the Pope I know also that it maye be alleged by aunciente custome to dooe some remembraunce for the dead to the intente to ioyne together all the membres of the bodye But there is a peremptorye argumente to the contrarye that the supper of Iesus Christ is so holye a thynge that it ought not to bee defyled with no inuencions of men Moreouer that in praying vnto god we ought not lette slippe the brydle of our fantasticall deuocion but to kepe the rule that Saincte Paule did geue vnto vs that is that we take our foundacion of the woord of god Wherfore such remēbraunce of recommendacion is not conuenient to the ordre of the good and due prayer and it is an euyll addicyon to the holy supper of our Lorde There is other thynges whiche peraduenture should be lesse blamed whiche neuertheles is not to bee excused As the ceremony of the Chreame and vnccion The ceremonie of chreame vnccion The chreame hath bene inuented of a foolyshe fantasye by them that contented not thēselues with the administracion of Iesus Christe and that they would counterfet the holy spirite by a new doctrine as though the water were not sufficiente enough for that And the whiche is called the extreme vnccion hath bene retayned by a foolyshe affeccyon of them that haue will to folow the Apostles hauing not the same gift that they hadde For when the Apostles dyd vse the oyle vpon the syck The oile vsed vpon the sycke by the Apostles it was for to heale them by miracle when the miracle ceassed the figure ought no more to be vsed Superfluous cerem●nies are to be pared of

agayne Wherfore it should be a great deale better that the thynges shoulde be so pared of agayn as they may be most agreeing to the pure woorde of God and may serue to the edifyinge of the church Howe wee oughte to beare with the weake It is true that we ought to beare with the weake but that is for to strengthen and bryng them to greater perfeccion that is not to say that in the meane tyme we ought to please fooles whiche desyre now this now that know not wherefore I knowe the consideracyon wherefore many are troubled it is that they feare that to much alteracion cannot bee borne with principallye when one will haue regarde of hys neyghboures with whome he desyreth to nourishe frendship and amitie A man would gladly gratifye them in dyssymulynge many thynges Thys oughte to bee borne with in worldly affayres where it is lawefull to yelde one to an other and to geue some of our ryghte to bye peace but it is not al one of the spirituall gouernaunce of the Churche As touchīg gods woord we maye not yelde to menne for fauout the whiche oughte to bee ordred accordynge to the woorde of God In that it is not in oure lybertye to yelde in anye thyng to menne in respecte of theyr fauoure Lykewyse there is nothynge that dyspleaseth GOD more then when we will by oure humayne prudence moderate or temper or refourme or sette foorthe or drawe backe anye thynge agaynste hys wyll Wherefore if wee will not dysplease hym wee muste close oure eyes in respecte of menne As to the daungers that maye happen wee oughte to eschewe them as muche as we maye but not in declynynge from the trewe and ryghte waye for wee haue hys promyse God by his promise will assiste vs in walkinge the right way that he wyll assyste vs in walking the right way So that it resteth not in vs but to doe our office in recommendynge to hym that Why the wyse of this world are manye tymes voyd of their hope that shall folowe And for that occasion the wyse of thys world be many tymes voyde of their hope for that that god is not with them when they truste not in hym and in hys helpe in serching bymeanes which he condemneth If then wee wil haue the vertue strēgth of god on oure syde let vs folowe symplye that he sayeth vnto vs and aboue all wee oughte to kepe thys generall rule The reformacyon of the church is the worke of gods owne hand that the reformacion of hys churche is the woorke of hys hande Wherfore it is necessarye that in thys matter men suffre themselues to bee gouerned by hym the whiche whether it bee in restoryng or in kepynge hys churche will most commonly procede by a merueylouse and straunge meanes and wayes vnknowen to menne Wherefore to restrayne thys reformacyon that ought to bee diuyne by the measure of our witte and to make that whiche is celestiall subiecte to the earth and the world is agaynst al good reason By that I exclude not the wisedome whiche is very requisite to obserue all propice and good meanes and not to excede eyther on th one syde or thother in any extremitie for the wynnyng of all the worlde to god if it should be possible It is requisite that the wisedome of the spirite rule and not of the fleshe But it is nedefull that the wisedome of the spirite shoulde rule and not of the fleshe And that hauyng examined the mouthe of the Lorde wee require of hym that he will be our guyde and conducter soner thē to folowe oure owne wittes and when we shal require it in that sort it shal bee easye for vs to exclude many temptacions that maye staye vs in the middes of the waye Wherefore my Lorde as you haue begonne to reduce Christianitie vnto hys perfect state in England and not in trustyng of youre selfe but to bee mayntayned by the hande of GOD as vnto thys daye ye haue felte hys myghtye hande doubte ye not but that he wil helpe you vnto the ende For if god mayntayneth kyngedomes and Lordeshyppes of infydels that bee hys enemyes If GOD maintaine the kyngdomes of Infidele●… much m●… he will of the faythfull by muche more reason he will take into hys garde them that bee obedyent vnto hym and dooe take hym for theyr Superyoure I come now to the laste Article that is to punyshe vyce and to reproue slaunders I doubte not but there is good lawes and lawfull statutes wythin the Realme of Englande People muste by good lawes be kept in ā honest discipline for to keepe the people in honeste lyfe But the greate dysordres and enormytyes that I see in the worlde constraineth me to desyre you to take also the care that the people be kepte in good and honest disciplyne and aboue all that ye haue the honour of God in good reputacyon to the intente to punyshe suche crymes Crymes must be punyshed of the whiche menne accustomablye make none accoumpte I saye it for that that somtymes theftes Robberyes fyghtynges and extorcyons shall bee sharpelye punished for that in those mē be offended and in the meane time whordomes adulteries dronkenes and blasphemies of the name of god be suffred almoste as thynges lawfull and of small importaunce Contrariwyse we see in what estimacyon and detestacyon god hathe them in For he declareth vnto vs howe muche his name is precyouse and in what estimacion we ought to haue it and yet it is by vs as it were torne in pieces and troden vnder our fete Wherfore out of doubte he wil not leaue vnpunished suche iniuries and dyshonour Yea and moreouer the Scripture sheweth vs that by blasphemies a whole realme is infected By blasphemies a whol realme is infected As touching adultries it is agreat shame vnto vs whiche professe the name of Christe that the Pagans haue obserued greater rygour in punishyng therof then we dooe of the whiche we manye tymes make but a laughing game When the holy mariage that ought to bee a lyuelye ymage of the holye vnyon that wee haue with the sonne of God Holy mariage is defyled and that the allyaunce whiche oughte to bee most stable and indyssoluble is vniustlye broken If wee take not those thynges to hearte it is a sygne that wee haue no greate care nor loue of GOD. Touching whoredome it may well suffyce vs that Sayncte Paule doothe compare it to Sacrilege S. Paule cōpareth whoredom to sacrilege for asmuche as by the same the temples of GOD which is our bodyes bee prophaned and defyled Item that the whoremongers and dronkardes bee banyshed from the kyngdome of GOD in such wyse that it is defended vnto vs to keepe companye with them Wherefore it foloweth that they oughte not to bee suffered in the Churche Whormōgers and drūkardes ought not to be suffered in the Churche And thys is the cause that so manye tribulacyons bee thys daye vpon the yearthe For insomuche as menne pardoneth suche enormities it must folowe that GOD must take vengeaunce Wherefore my lord to thintēt to preuent his wrath I pray you to hold the brydle shorte cause that they whiche heareth the doctrine of the Ghospell proue themselues to bee christen menne by the holynesse of theyr lyfe For as the doctrine is the soule of the church for to geue it lyfe so the disciplyne and correccion of vices bee as the Senowes for to mayntayne the body in his force strēgth Correcciō of vyces It is the office of Busshops and Curates to take good hede to the same The office of bishops curates to the intent that the supper of oure Lorde bee not polluted by folkes of slaunderous and dyshonest● life But considering the auctoritie whiche God hath committed vnto you the principall charge retourneth vnto you for to set others in the ryght waye to thintent that euerye one dyscharge themselues of theyr duetie and cause that the ordre which is established be duely obserued Nowe my Lorde folowing the protestacyon that I haue made here beefore I will not excuse my self no lōger neither of the prolixitie of my letters nor of that that I haue liberally declared that I had in my hert For I trust that myne affeccion i● knowen vnto you according to your wisdom And as ye be exercised in the holye scripture you see of what foūtayne I haue drawen all that whiche is herein conteyned Wherefore I dooe not feare that I haue bene tedious and importune in declaryng vnto you to the best of my power the good desyre that I haue that the name of god may be daylye by you more largelye gloryfyed for the whyche I pray to hym daylye Praying that it maye please hym to augment his grace vnto you confyrmyng you by hys holye spirite in a perfect and inuincible constancie maintaining you against your enemies hauing you with all your housholde in his holy proteccion and doing that you administer happelye the charge that is committed to you So that the kyng may haue occasion to geue thankes to hys Lord God for that he hathe hadde suche a Gouernoure in hys younge age aswell of hys person as also of hys realme So I make an ende my lord hauynge me moste humblye recommended vnto your good Grace The .xxii. of Octobre in the yeare of oure LORDE 1549.

time chasteneth vs by the euil persoues and to knowe that god chasteneth oure faultes by them which otherwise cannot serue but to Sathan It hath bene an auncient complaynte that the Ghospell was the cause of all euilles and calamities Some lay the faulte of sedicion to the gospell whiche happened vnto men In deede we see by the histories that not longe after the christianitie was spredde in all places there was not almost a corner in the worlde whiche was not horriblye afflycted The mocyon of the warres was as an vniuersal fyer lyghtened in all countreyes The floudes in th one syde the Pestilence and famyne in the other an horrible confusyon of ordre and pollicye in manner that it was lykelye that the worlde shoulde bee clearelye ouerturned We haue also seene in oure tyme sythe the gospel hathe begonne to be abroade manye myseryes So that euerye manne complayneth that we bee in an vnhappye worlde and there is verye fewe that feeleth not the wayghte of the burden Nowe in feelynge suche blowes wee oughte to regarde the hande of hym that stryketh vs and we oughte also to thinke wherfore The cause why we fele gods scourge The cause whiche moueth hym to make vs so to feele hys scourge is not very darke or hard to vnderstande We know that his woorde by the which he will kepe vs in health is an inestimable treasure and in what maner of recompence is it receaued of vs. Wherfore then seeyng we esteme not muche that whiche is so precious to speake of it is reason that he take vengeance of our ingratitude We also heare that Iesus Christe sayde that the seruaunte knowyng the will of hys maister and dooyng it not is worthy of double chastisemente for because that we bee so slothfull to obey the wil of oure God whiche hath bene declared vnto vs more than an hundred tymes heretofore we ought not to think it straūge if he be more sharply angrye with vs seing that we be more inexcusable Whē we cause not the good seede to increase and profite it is reason that the thystles and thornes of Sathan groweth to prycke and tormēt vs. Because that we geue not to our creatour the obedience that is due vnto hym it is no meruayle that men aryse agaynst vs. As I vnderstād my lord you haue had two kyndes of mutenies whiche bee risen against the king the state of the Realme Two kindes of mutenies at once Thone be fantasticall men which vnder the colour of the gospell would put all to confusyon The other bee obstynate people in the Supersticyons of the Antichriste of Rome Altogether deserueth wel to be punyshed by the sweorde that is commytted vnto you Seeynge that they quarell not onelye agaynste the kynge but also agaynste God whiche hathe placed hym in the seate Royall and hath committed vnto you the proteccion aswell of hys person as of hys maiestie and regall estate How gods word must be receued But the principal meane is to doe as much as is possible to cause that they which sauor the doctrine of the gospel to thintent to stycke and cleaue vnto it shoulde receyue it with suche humblenesse and feare that they may forsake themselues for the seruice of god For they ought to thinke that god wil reuele all to thentente that they shall profit more without fe●ning in his woorde then they haue done before These mad folkes that would the worlde should returne into a confuse disordinate libertie be suborned by Sathan for to slaūdre the gospel As that it should not engendre but rebellion a gaynste prynces and all dysordre emonges the people Wherfore al faythfull ought to be sorowful The Papistes willīg to maintain the filthy abhominaciōs of their Romain Idole shew themselues open enemyes of the grace of Iesus Christe and of all hys ordynaunces the same also ought to greeue the heartes of al them whiche haue good zeale wherfore they ought to thynke altogether that these be scourges of god which he sendeth to them And wherefore But onely because that they make none accoumpte of the doctrine of healthe as they ought to doe The principall remedie to appeace sedicion Wherfore the principall remedye for to appeace such sediciōs is that they which professeth the gospell doe truely repayre to the Image of God for to shewe that our christianitie causeth not dissipacion in the humain lyfe and geue good proofe tryall by theyr sobrenes and temperaunce that we gouerned by the woord of God bee not mē vnruled and without a brydle And by theyr good holy lyfe stop the mouthes of all euyll speakers For by thys meanes god beeing appeaced shal retiere hys hand and in the place that thys day he punisheth the slaunderers for the contemning of his word he shall blesse theyr obedience in all prosperitie Lawe es Iustices oughte to bee vncorrupt Lykewyse that al the nobilitie and lawiers gouerne them selues ryghtlye and in all humilitie to thobediēce of this great kyng Iesus Christ Makyng holy homage vnto him without feining of soule and body and all that they haue To thintente that he correct and abate that to gancie and folly of them that woulde tyse agaynst them Loe thys is the meane howe Princes of the earth ought to reygne in seruing Iesus Christ to th ende that he may haue Soueraine auctoritie emonges all bothe great and small Wherefore my Lorde in asmuche as you haue the regall estate of the king your Nephieu deare vnto you and in greate recommendacion as you shewe very wel I pray you in the name of god to employe your principall care vigilancye that the doctrine of God may bee preached with strengthe and vertue for to brynge furthe hys fruite and not to leaue for any respecte to pursue a ful and an entiere reformacion of the Churche And the better to declare vnto you my mynde and intencion I will deuyde the whole into three poyntes The fyrst shal be the meane to instructe the people well The remedies againste all sedicion in a common weale The seconde shal be the taking away of the abuse that hath bene of longe tyme. The third with diligēce to correct vyces and to kepe so good ordre that the slaundres disordres may not haue such place as the the name of God shoulde bee blasphemed As to the fyrste I mynde not to declare vnto you what doctrine ought to haue place But rather I geue thankes to almighty god that besides that he hathe geuen vnto you the light of his pure knowledge he hath also geuen vnto you good counsell and discrecion to cause hys pure veritie to be preached So that God be thanked you be not to teache what is the true faith of christen mē and the doctrine that they ought to receiue Seing that by youre meane the true puretie of the faythe is restored That is that we belieue and take God for the onelye gouerner of oure soules that we

kepe hys lawe for the onely rule and spiritual gouernmente of oure conscience and not to serue him after the foolish inuencyon of man Also that accordyng to hys nature he wil be serued in spirite and in puritie of heart Of the other parte knowyng that there is not but al euil in vs and that we bee corrupted in all oure knowledge and affeccyons on that sorte that our soules being despayred in our selfes be lyke a bottomles pytte or worlde of iniquitie And hauing taken away al presumpcion of our wisedome dygnitie or power to dooe well we may haue recourse to the foūtayne of al goodnes which is Iesus Christ receiuyng that which he geueth vs that is to saye the merite of hys deathe and passion To thintout that by that meane we may bee reconciled to God that beeyng washed with hys bloude we shoulde not feare that oure faultes shoulde empeache or hyndre vs to fynde grace before hys celestiall throne That beyng certain that ou● synnes be frely pardoned vs by vertue of hys sacrifice we shal put therin our trust assurance for to be asserteyned of our healthe and that we bee sanctifyed by his sprite in geuinge our selues to the obedience of the iustice of GOD that beeynge fortifyed by hys grace we shal be vanquishers of Sathan the worlde and the fleshe Finally that being membres of hys bodye we feare it not but GOD will take vs for hys children and that wee maye haue confydence to call vnto hym as oure father That we be aduertysed to brynge to thys ende al that is sayd and done in the church it is that beyng retiered from the worlde wee maye bee lyfte vp to heauen with our head and Sauior Wherefore seeyng than that god hath geuē you the grace to restore the knowledge of hys doctrine whiche hathe beene so longe buryed by the Antichriste I leaue to kepe you with longer purpose And that whiche I haue towched of the manner of teaching is onely for that the people maye bee ryghtlye instructed and for to feele that which thapostle sayd The word of God is a two edged sword that is that the woorde of God is a sweorde cutting with two edges pearsyng the thoughtes and affeccions vnto the mary of the bone Few godlye preachinges in the realm I saye thys my Lord for that I thynke there is veraye fewe lyuelye preachynges within the realme But that the most parte recyteth as by lecture I well perceyue the necessytye that constrayneth you thereunto For fyrste you haue not as I think your pastours so good and apt as you desire wishe wherfore it is nedeful for you to supply that lack Secondly there myght chaunce to bee manye lighte spirites whiche woulde peraduenture leape beyond theyr bondes sowing some foolyshe fantasyes as many tymes they doe in newe thynges But all these consideracyons empeacheth not The ordinaunce of Iesus Christo oughte in al causes to haue course but that thordinaunce of Iesus Christe ought to haue his course as in preachynge the gospel Nowe ths preachyng oughte not to bee dead but alyue Prechyng oughte to be liuely for to teache exhorte and reprehende as Saint Paule sayth to Timoth yea in such sorte as if an infidele entre he may bee wounded ouercome and taken as the same Paul sayeth in another place for to geue glory vnto god You knowe also my Lorde howe as he speaketh of the lyuelines that oughte to bee in the mouthes of them which will approue them selues good and faythfull ministers of the gospell that they ought not to haue or vse woordes of rethorike entending thereby to be in greater estimacyon but that the spirite of God ought to sounde in theyr voyces for to woorke in dertue All the daungers that are to bee feared ought not to impeache the spirite of God to haue hys libertie and his course in them in the which he hath distributed of hys grace for to edifye the churche It is true that in the meane time it is good and expedient to stop the lightnes of fantastical spirites that taketh to muche lycence Also to shut the gate of al curiosities and newe fangled doctrines But the best and most conuenient meanes suche as God hath shewed vnto vs is There ought to be a resolute sūme of doctrin that should bee preached that first there bee a sūme resolute of the doctrine that al ought to preache the which al prelates and curates should sweare to folowe And that none bee receyued to anye ecclesiasticall charge All preachers oughte to preache vniformly but he promyse to obserue the same concorde and vnpon cathechismes for the youth oughte to be had in a christen realme After that to haue a formall and commen instruccyon for to enstructe the younge chyldren and ignoraunte people whyche should make them acquaynted with the true doctrine in such wyse that they may discerne it from lyes and corrupcions whiche elles myght be broughte in To the contrarye belieue my lorde that the churche of god shal neuer be conserued without Cathechisme for it is as the seede to bee kept that the good grayne peryshe not but that it may encrease from age to age Wherfore if you desire to builde a worke of continuaunce to endure long which shoulde not shortly fall in decay cause that the children in theyr yong age be enstructed with a good Cathechisme that may learne them briefly and according to theyr small capacities to knowe wherein consysteth the true christianitie The profitablenesse of a good cathechisme Thys ▪ Cathechisme shall serue for two purposes that is to say for an introduccyon to al the people for to profite wel in that which shal be preached vnto them and also to discerne in case any presumptuously would attempt to set furth straunge doctrines In the meane time I say not It is necessarye to bynde the Pastour● to a certain forme of doctrine written and also necessary to bynde and restrayn the pastoures and Curates to a certain forme written for to supplye the ignorauncies and symplenes of some of thē and also the better to shewe the conformitie and concorde of all churches Thyrdelye for to brydle all curiosityes and newe inuencions suche as desyres nothynge but to runne ryot the sayde Cathechisme as I haue before rehearsed shall serue and bees good brydle for suche folkes And also in such sorte ordre is to be geuen in the ministring of the Sacramentes and in the publike prayers But in the meane tyme The vertue of prechinge the Ghospell may not be destroyed you must take heede that suche pollicie destroy not the strength and vertue that oughte to be in preaching of the gospel And that you employe youre labour● asmuche as ye possiblye can that there bee good trumpets whiche maye enter into the depenes of the hertes for ther● is daunger that ye shall not see greate profite of suche reform●cion Good prechīg must be ioyned with a reformacion how
