think_v good_a to_o institute_v easter_n on_o that_o day_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a easter_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o christian_n it_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o nicene_n council_n which_o do_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o same_o by_o their_o decree_n but_o you_o neither_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o st._n john_n nor_o st._n peter_n nor_o do_v your_o celebration_n of_o

whereas_o you_o keep_v not_o easter_n but_o on_o the_o first_o of_o the_o sabbath_n saint_n peter_n do_v celebrate_v easter_n from_o the_o 15._o of_o the_o moon_n to_o the_o 21._o which_o you_o do_v

neither_o do_v our_o lord_n the_o author_n of_o the_o gospel_n eat_v the_o passover_n on_o the_o 13._o day_n but_o upon_o the_o 14._o at_o night_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o do_v celebrate_v

so_o high_o commend_v go_v against_o both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n when_o as_o he_o say_v that_o easter_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o 13._o day_n to_o the_o 20_o or_o shall_v we_o think_v our_o most_o reverend_a father_n columba_n and_o his_o successor_n who_o be_v all_o dear_a unto_o god_n do_v transgress_v in_o observe_v easter_n after_o that_o manner_n they_o be_v man_n of_o

say_v wilfrid_n reply_n it_o be_v know_v that_o anatholius_n be_v a_o godly_a and_o learned_a man_n but_o what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v with_o he_o that_o observe_v not_o his_o custom_n for_o he_o follow_v the_o true_a rule_n of_o keep_v easter_n and_o observe_v the_o circle_n of_o 19_o year_n which_o either_o you_o know_v not_o or_o if_o you_o do_v you_o set_v at_o nought_o although_o the_o same_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n he_o do_v so_o account_v the_o 14._o day_n as_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v the_o 15._o at_o night_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o egyptian_n and_o so_o the_o 20._o day_n he_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o 21._o in_o the_o evening_n which_o distinction_n you_o know_v not_o as_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o sometime_o you_o keep_v easter_n on_o the_o 13._o day_n before_o the_o full_a moon_n as_o to_o your_o father_n columba_n and_o his_o follower_n who_o rule_n and_o precept_n confirm_v by_o miracle_n you_o confess_v to_o follow_v i_o may_v answer_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n the_o lord_n will_v say_v to_o many_o that_o prophesy_v in_o his_o name_n do_v cast_v out_o devil_n and_o
