worse then turkes for ther is a bryeff as they call it carted about of paulus the .iii. vnto themperour and king of the Romains in the which the very same thing is affirmed so that who soeuer doeth

thaboundance of thy hart woldest also by name taunt and teare this cōtrey of germany darest thou be so bold to afirme the holy gospell of Iesu Chryst the which we preach teach in our churches to be the adulterous and pestiferous turkish sede do you thinke that we haue so much for sakē cast awai the catholike veriti yf these thīges be treue which thou doest falsli affirme then truli the apostles al y e primitiue church had not the catholyke fayth but that pestiferous and adulterous sede Art thou not ashamed to affirme and fett these thinges in thy bokes and wheras thou-saist thou doest hope that this nation wyll abiect and cast of the pure and syncere doctrine of thee gospell and retorne again vnto your coruption and ydolatry thou art muche deceauid or that I think rather trew you do but fain your self so to beleue or thinke I do verely graunt that it is the turkysh maner to answer with the swerd against all such as speke in y e name of chryst I do verely graūt acknowledge that their
