supersticious trumpery faythfully trāslated into thy mother tong whereby thou maiest see what a derogacion it is against our onlye Sauiour Iesus Christ They haue do yet make me beleue that they do it in remēbraūce of the shedding of Christes bloude but when they make it vpon Sondaies then they can say they make it to dryue Deuils away If this be not blasphemy against Christ hys precious blud I know not what is blasphemy They say to Salt I 〈◊〉 the y u creature of Salt c. that al such as receaue the thou may est be to thē health both of soule and body Came Christ into this world and tooke out nature vpon hym for any other purpose but to heale both our bodyes soules Ye a hathe he not done it in ●ede If the scripture be true as it is most true what riede hath our shamē nation to desyre God that Salt may be health both of soule and bodi whē Christ hath done it already for al such as beleue in him Haue we nede of an other Sauiour Hath not God the father geuen vs him to be our sufficien●ic to be our atonement maker ours buckler our shield our strong fortres and helper in all needes ▪ Doth he not make daylye intercession for vs vnto God his father Yea hathe not he declared vnto vs that whatsoeuer we aske the Father in hys name he wyll giue it vs meaning for our healp and comfort in al our troubles and necessities Ther is no name vnder he auen wherin we must besaued but onli by the name of Iesu It is no maruayl● Christen Reader that they be so loth that theyr seruice shuld be in English for whose hart would not melt if he had ani sparke of knowledge in gods truth to heare such charming against God and his truth For god hath cōmaunded whatsoeuer he biddeth vs do that obserue and do and not oute own imaginations contrarye to hys worde But O you Priestes that be learned with what conscience can ye say these shameful blaspemies euerye Sondaye Do ye beleue that that ye say is true then haue you no parte in Christe For if ye may make at your pleasure such chinges to driue diuels away to heale both body and soule what neede haue ye of Christ of hys death of hys resurrection in whyche consist our whole saluation And you that are vnlearned priestes that vnderstande not

Gods vengeaunce to do y t his holy worde doth not warrant For without dought God hath blessed all his creatures and possible it is not to make them better than he hath made them He hath made them to serue vs for our necessaries and we ought to geue him al the thankes for them and not to make Gods of them For God sayth I will geue my glory to none other Therfor let vs leaue the abusynge of Gods
