God I am coÌ„ptable that ye neuer swarue neither for losse of life or worldly goodes froÌ„ Gods holy word and yeld vnto Antichrist wherupon must nedes follow the great displeaser of God and the losse of your bodies souls into perpetuall dampnation for euermore Now that I haue gon through the places wher I haue dwelt any space in the time of my pilgrimage here vpoÌ„ earth Remembring that for the space of Kinge Edwardes reigne whiche was for the time of mine Office in the Seas of London and Rochester I was a meÌ„ber of the higher house of the parliamente Therefore seinge my God hathe geuen mee laysoure and the remembraunce thereof I will bid my Lordes of the temporaltie farewel They shal haue no iust cause by Gods grace to take it that I entend to say in ill part As for spirituall prelacy that now is I haue nothing to say to them excepte I shoulde repeate agayne a greate parte of that I haue saide before now all readye to the Sea of London But to you my Lordes of the teÌ„poralty vnderstand ye thys firste That when I wrote this I loked daily when I should be called to y e chaunge of my life And thought y t that this my writinge shoulde not come to your knowledge before the time of the dissolucion of my bodye and soule shoulde be expired and therfore know ye that I had before mine eies only the feare of God Christian Charitie towarde you whiche moued me to write for of you hereafter I looke not in thys world other for pleaser or displeaser if my talke shal do you neuer so much pleasure or profit you caÌ„ not promote me Nor if I displese you ye can not hurt me or harme me For I shall be oute of your reache Nowe therefore if you feare God and can be content to heare the talk of him that seketh nothing at your hands but to serue God and to do you good herkeÌ„ what I say I say vnto you as S. Paul saieth to the Galathians I wonder mi Lordes what hathe bewitched you that ye so sodeÌ„ly are fallen froÌ„ Christ vnto Antichrist froÌ„ Christes gospel vnto mens tradicions from the Lord that boughte you vnto the Bishop now of Rome I warn you of your pearill be not deceiued except you will be found willingly consenters vnto your owne deathe For if ye thincke thus we are lay men thys is a matter of Religion we follow as we are taughte and led if oure teachers and gouernors teach vs and leade vs amisse the faulte is in them they shall beare the blame My Lords this is true I graunt you that both the false teacher and the corrupt gouernoure bothe shal be punished for the deathe of theyr subiecte whome they haue falselye taughte and corruptlye ledde And his bloud shall be required at their handes But yet neuerthelesse shal that subiecte die the death him self also that is he shal also be dampned for his owne sinne For if the blind leade the blinde Christe saithe not the leader only but he saithe bothe shall fall in the ditche Shall the Sinagoge and the Senate of the Iewes trow ye whyche forsooke Christe and consented to his Deathe therefore be excused because Annas Caiphas with the Scribes and Phariseis and their cleargy did teach them amisse yea and also Pilate theyr gouernoure and the Emperoures Lieuetenaunte by his tirranny did withoute cause put him to deathe Forsothe no my Lordes no but notwithstanding that corrupt doctrine or Pilates washinge of hys handes neither of both shal excuse other that sinagoge and seigniour or Pilate But at the Lordes hand for the effusion of that innocentes blud on the latter dai al shal drink of the deadlye whip Ye are wittye and vnderstand what I meane Therefore I will passe ouer thys and return to tel you howe you are fallen from Christe to his aduersarye the Bishyp of Rome And least my Lordes I maye peraduenture thincke me thus barely to call the Bishop of Rome Christes aduersarye or to speake it in plain termes to cal him Antichrist that it is don in mine anguish and that I do but rage and as a desperate man do not care what I say or vpon whome I do raile Therfore that your Lordships may perceiue my minde and vnderstande that I speake the words of truthe and of sobriety as S.

But since that time that Sea hath degenerated froÌ„ that trade of truth and true Religion whyche it receiued of the Apostles at the beginning and hathe preached a nother Gospell hathe sette vp an other Religion hathe exercised an other power and hath taken vpon it to ordre and rule the Churche of Christe by other straunge lawes Cannons and rules then euer that Sea receiued of the Apostles of Christe whyche thinges it dothe at this daye and hathe continued so doinge alasse alasse of to to loÌ„g a time From time I saye that the state and condition of this Sea hathe thus bene chaunged In truthe it oughte of dutye and of righte to haue the names chaunged bothe of the Sea and of the sitter therein For vnderstande my Lordes it was neither for the Priuilege of that place or Persone thereof that that Sea and Bishop thereof wer called Apostolicke but for the true trade of Christes Religion whiche was taught and maintened in that Sea at the firste and of those godlye menne And therfore as truely and iustlye as that Sea then for that true trade of Religion and coÌ„sanguinitie of Doctrine wyth the Religion and Doctrine of Christes Apostles was called Apostolick So as truely as iustly for y e

euer hauing our eyes vpon Iesus Christ the ringleader capitain and profiter of our faith which for to haue the ioy set before him suffered the crosse not passing vpon ignomie and shame therof is set nowe at the righthande of the throne of God Count this y t he suffered such strife of sinners against him self that ye should not geue ouer nor fainte in your mindes As yet brethren we haue not withstaÌ„d vnto death fighting against sinne Let vs neuer forget deare brethreÌ„ for Christes sake that fatherly exhortation of the wise that speaketh vnto vs as vnto his children the godly wisdom of god saying thus My sonne dispise not the correction of the Lord nor fal not froÌ„ him when thou art rebuked of him For whome the Lord loueth him dothe he correct scourgeth euery childe whome he receiueth what child is he whome the father doth not chasten If ye be free from chastisement wherof al are partners then are ye bastardes and no children Seing then when as we haue had carnall parents which Christened vs we reuerenced them shall not we be much more subiect vnto our spiritual father and shal liue And they for a little time taughte vs after their own mind but this father teacheth vs to our commoditye to geue vnto vs his holines All chastisement for the present time apereth not pleasant but painful But afterward it rendereth the frute of righteousnesse on them whiche are exercised in it Wherefore let vs be of good chere good brethren and lette vs plucke vp our feble membres that were fallen or began to fainte harte hande knees and all the reaste and lette vs walcke vp a righte and straighte that no Lympinge nor Haulting bring vs oute of the waye Let vs loke not vppon the thinges that be presente but with the eies of our faithe lette vs stedfastly beholde the thinges that be euerlasting in heauen And chose rather in respecte of y e whiche is to come with the chosen members of Christ to beare Christes Crosse then for his shorte life time to enioy all the riches honors and pleasers of the brode world Why shuld we Christians feare death caÌ„ death depriue vs of Christ which is all our comfort our ioy our life Nay forsoth But contrary deathe shall deliuer vs from this mortall body whiche lodeth beareth downe the spirite that it can not so wel perceiue heaueÌ„ly things in the which so longe as we dwell we are absent from God Wherfore vnderstandinge oure state in that we be Christians that if our mortal bodye whiche is oure earthlye house were destroyed we haue a building a house not made with haÌ„ds but euerlasting in heauen c. Therefore we are of good cheare and knowe that when we are in the body we are absent from God For we walcke by faithe and not by cleare sighte But we haue fiance and had rather be from the body and present with God wherfore we striue whether we be present at home or absent abrode that we maye alwaies please him And who that hath true faith in our sauioure Christ wherby he knoweth somwhat truely what Christe oure sauioure is that he is the eternall sonne of God life light the wisdoÌ„e of the father all goodnes al truth all righteousnesse and whatsoeuer is good that hart caÌ„ desire yea infinite plenty of al these aboue that that mans hart can either conceiue or thinke For in him dwelleth the fulnesse of the Godhed corporally And also that he is geuen vs of the father and made of God to be our wisdome our righteousnesse oure holinesse and oure redemptioÌ„ who I saye is he that beleueth this in dede that wold not gladly be with his master Christ Paule for this knowledge coueted to haue bene losed from the bodye and to haue bene with Christ For that he compted muche better for him self had rather to be losed then to liue Therfore these words of Christ to the theife on the crosse that asked of him mercye were full of comforte and solace This daye thou shalte be with me in paradise To dye in the defence of Christes Gospell is oure bounden duetie to Christe and also to oure neighbor To Christ for he died for vs rose again y t he shuld be Lord ouer all And seing he died for vs we also saith s.
