late in the pystle that the kynges hyghnes translated in to englyshe of hys own whych hys grace made in laten answeryng to the letter of Luther my mynd gyueth me that hys maiesteis of hys blyssed zele so mynded to moue thys mater vnto the prelaâ—ê of the clergye amoÌ„g whom I haue petreyued som of the gretest and of the best of theyr own myndys well inclynable therto all redy that we lay people shall in thys mater ere longe tyme passe excepte the fawte be founden in our selfe be well fully satysfyed and conteÌ„t Â¶ In good fayth quod he that wyll in my mynd be very wel done And now am I for my mynd in all thys mater fully content satysfyed Â¶ Well quod I than wyll we to dyner and the remanaunt wyll we fynyshe after And therwyth went we to mete Â¶ The ende of the thyrd boke Â¶ The fourthe boke Â¶ The fyrst chapyter Â¶ The author sheweth wherfore yt were not well done to suffer Luthers bokis or eny other heretykes to go abrode and be red amonge the peple though there were some good thyngys in theym among that bad WHen we had after dyner a lytell paused your frend I drew our self aside iÌ„ to the gardyn And ther syttyng down in an herber he bygan to entre forth in to the mater sayng that he had well perceyued that not in hys cuntre onely but also in the vnyuer syte where he had ben there were that had none euyll opynyoÌ„ of Luther but thoughte that hys bokys were by the clergye forbâ—den of malyce and euyll wyll to th ende that folk sholde not surely se and perfaytely percyue what he sayth or at the leste what thynge he meaneth by hys wordys whych wyll not appere they thynk by a lyne taken owt in the myddys of a lefe but by the dylygent consyderacyoÌ„ of the hole mater Without whych meÌ„ myght impute a wronge blame they sa yt to the beste wryters that euer wrote iÌ„ thys world But they thynke that the clergye wyll not haue hys bokys red bycawse that in theym lay men may rede the prestys fawtys whych was they say the very cause of the condempnacyon For ellys whyther he had wryten well or â—uyl yet they say hys bokys had ben kept in mennys handys and red For there ys they thynke therin though some parte were nought meny thyngys yet well sayd wherof ther was no reason that men sholde lese the profyte for the bad And also reason men thynke yt were that all were herd that caÌ„ be sayd touchyng the treuth to be knowen concernynge the maters of our saluacyon to th entent that all herd and perceyued men may for theyr own suretie that better these and hold the ryght way Â¶ Forsoth q I yf yt were now dowtful and ambyguouse whyther yâ— chyrch of Cryst were in the ryght rule of doctryne or not than were yt very necessary to gyue them all good audyence that could and wold eny thynge dyspute on eyther partye for yt or agaynste yt to th end that yf we were now in a wroÌ„g way we myghte leue yt and walke in some better But now on that tother syde yf yt so be as in dede yt is that Crystê chyrch hath the true doctryne all redy the self same that saynt Powle wold not gyue an aungell of heuen audyeÌ„ce to the contrary what wysdome were yt now therin to shew our selfe so mystrustfull and wauerynge that for to serche whyther our fayth were false or trewe we shold gyue heryng not to an aungell of heuen but to a fond frere to an apostate to an open incestuouse lechour a playne lymme of the deuyll and a manyfest messenger of hell In whyche wordys yf ye wolde happely thynk that I vse my self to sore to call hym by suche odyouse namys ye must consyder that he spareth not both vntruly and wythout necessyte in hys raylyng bokys to call by as euyll theym whoÌ„ his duty were hyghly to reuereÌ„ce where as I do bytwene vs twayn call hym but as hym self hath shewed hym in hys wrytynge in hys lyuynge and in hys mad maryage And yet I neyther do yt nor wold were yt not that the mater selfe of reason dothe requyre yt For my parte ys yt of necessyte to tell how naught he ys bycause that the wors the man ys the more madnes were yt for wyse men to gyue hys false fables herkenyng agaynst goddys vndouted trewthe by hys holy spyryte taughte vnto hys chyrche and by suche multytude of myracles by so myche blode of holy martyrs by the vertuouse lyuyng of so many blyssed confessours by the puryte and clennesse of so many chaste wydowes and vndefouled vyrgyns by the holsom doctryne of so many holy doctours and fynally by the hole consent and agrement of all Crysten peple thys fyften hundred yere confermed And therfore not eny respect vnto hys raylyng agaynst the clergye ys as some wold haue it seme the cause of hys condempnacyon and suppressyon of hys bokys For the good men of the clergye be not so sore greued wyth theym that towche the fawtys of the bad nor the bad theym selfe be not so renderered that for the onely talkyng of theyr fautê they wolde bannyshe the bokis that were good in other thyngys bysyde For ellê could not the bokys of many olde holy fathers haue endured so long wherin the vycys of theym that in the clergye be naught be very vehemeÌ„tly rebuked But the very cause why hys bokys be not suffred to be red is bycause hys heresyes be so many and so abhomynable and the prouys therwyth he preteÌ„deth to make theym probable be so far frome reason and trouth and so farre agaynst the ryght vnderstandynge of holy scrypture wherof vnder coloure of grete zele and affeccyon he laboreth to destroye the credence and good vse and fynally so far stretcheth all thyng agaynst good maner and vertue prouokyng the world to wrong opynions of god and boldenesse in synne wrechednes that there can no good but myche harme grow by the redyng For yf there were the substaunce good and of errour or ouersyght som cocle among the corne whych myght be syfted owâ— and the remanauÌ„t stand in stede men wold haue beÌ„ conteÌ„t therwyth as they be wyth suche other But now ys hys not byspryent wyth a few spottys but with more then halfe venym poysoned the hole wyne and that right roten of yt selfe And thys done yf purpose and malyce not wythout an euyll spyryte in suche wyse walkyng wyth hys wordys that the contagyon therof were lykely to enfecte a feble soule as the sauoure of a sykenes sore enfecteth an hole body Nor the trourth is not to be lerâ—ed of euery mannys mouth For as Cryâ—t was content not that the deuyll shold cal hiÌ„ goodê soÌ„ne though it were stew so is he not conteÌ„t that a deuyls lymme as Luther ys or Tyndal shold â—eche hys flokke the trouth for infectyng theym wyth theyr false deuylysh
