to faynt to perce the paper And sum to hygh and sum to shorte And some walk to wyde of that but by a bow And therfore I requyre you spare not to bryng forth all that euer ye haue harde â—or that ye

for any reason that I fynde to make them aÌ„swere wyth For fyrst they take for a grouÌ„de that the deuill may do myracles Or yf we lyst not to suffer theÌ„ callyd by that name the mater shal be therby nothyng ameÌ„ded for yf we wyll haue only called by the name of myracles thyngys by god doÌ„ aboue nature yet wyll we not deny but that god sufferethe the deuyll to worke wonders whych the people caÌ„

mastryes rathere than the dyuyll that can do nothyng but by suâ—fraunce excepte we se some cause that caÌ„not suffer that work to be rekenyd goddys Â¶ well q he than is yt reason that we shew you sum such cause It ys quod he cause ynoughe in that we se that god hath yn scrypture forboden suche ymagry and that vnder great maledyccyon As yn the law Non facies tibâ— sculptile And iÌ„ the psalme In

Domus israel sperauit in domino adiutor eoruÌ„ et ê“tector eorumest The house of Israell hath put they re truste in our lorde the helper and defender of theÌ„ ys he Now when the wordys of god be clere open and playne vppon thys syde what reason ys yt to beleue the coÌ„mentys and glosys of menne wherewyth ye wold wynde owt agaynst she trew textys of god what shulde we gyue credens to theÌ„nsample of
