I aunswere with the Preacher A foolish and an vnfaithful vow displeaseth God Whatsoeuer is not of fayth is sinne sayth the Apostle But these monasticall vowes are not of fayth for they haue no grounde in the worde of God therfore are they sinne What Godlynesse can there be in the vowe of pouertye seyng that the vowers thereof caste awaye all laboure contrarye to the commaundement of God and lyue idlely vnder the pretence of long prayer and are fedde lyke Epicures and belly-gods of the laboures of other mens handes and of the sweat of other mens browes And what poynte of holynesse is in their vowe of obedience seyng they vowe it to the Pope and to their Abbotes and Prioures and vtterlye denye to be obedience to the temporall Princes and Rulers to whome they owe obedience by the worde of God vnder payne of dānation As touching their vow of chastitie who knoweth not that it is both foolishe and presumptuous Can there be any greater folly or presumption in the worlde than to worshippe God with our own inuentions to vowe that vnto him whyche lyeth not in power to fulfill Oure Sauiour Christ sayth All can not awaye with this saying That is to liue vnmaryed but they to whom it is geuen The wise man also sayeth I knowe that I can not lyue chaste except God geue me the gyfte To striue againste God and nature is mere madnesse Twelfthly The fasting dayes are not so religiously with such abstinēce obserued ▪ as heretofore they haue bene I answere the people in times yast haue ben taught of their curates ▪ on those dayes whiche the Church that is to say the Pope and the Byshops hath commaunded to be fasted that they should faste vnder payne of deadly sinne abstayne from fleshe and eate but one meale that daye To make that sinne whiche is not contrary to the worde of God is the doctrine of Antichrist To thynke it more acceptable to God for to catelfishe than to eate flesh is mere madnesse and plaine superstition seyng that all the creatures of God are good nothynge is to be cast alwaye that is receaued with thankes geuing All thynges are pure to them that are pure And those thinges whiche God hath made cleane no man ought to iudge vncleane Notwithstāding such dayes of abstinence as are commaunded by the Prince and receaued by publique order are still with great reuerence and high deuotion religiously obserued and keept when notwithstanding we right well knowe that the true and Christen faste is to abstayne from sinne and to practise vertue to cease to do our owne will and to accomplishe the good pleasure of God and at all tymes to lyue temperatly and soberly as our Sauioure Christ sayth Take heede to your selues least any tyme your heartes be ouercome with surfetting and droncknesse and cares of this lyfe Thyrtenthly Iustification is taught by fayth alone without workes I aunswere The Prophet saith A ryghteous man shall lyue by hys owne fayth And the holye Apostle sayth We playnly affirme that a man is iustified by faith without the workes of the lawe Agayne we haue beleued on Iesus Christ that we myght be iustified by the faith of Christ and not by the deedes of the lawe bicause by the deedes of the lawe no fleshe shall be iustified Faith bicause it alone apprehendeth and layeth hande on the mercifull promises of God is counted alone to iustifie when notwithstanding it is God alone that iustifieth as s. Paul sayth It is God that iustifieth This faith is no dead and idle worke of the holy Ghost in the hearts of the faithfull but liuely and mightie in operation as Sainct Paule sayth Faith whiche worketh mightely by loue And this loue whiche issueth out of a pure heart and out of a good conscience and out of a faith vnfayned is so feruent and stronge that it brasteth out into good workes and can no more cease to worke ▪ than fyre can cease to burne when mete matter is ministred vnto it or the Sunne cease to shyne when the tyme of the cleere daye requireth Therfore a faythfull man is compared to a tree planted by the riuer side whiche bringeth forth her frute in due tyme. For whensoeuer occasion is offered to a faythfull man to worke he worketh strayghtwayes yea and that freely and willingly with out any compulsion or feare And yet doth not he these good workes to be iustified by thē for he is already iustified by fayth but to shewe that his faith is true

We are no more tyed and bounde to the obseruation and kepynge of the Iewyshe Sabbothes from the whiche we are made free by Christe the true lyghte whose comming in the flesh expelled all the darke shadowes of Moses lawe as the Apostle sayth Let no man trouble your conscience aboute meate and drinke or for a pece of an holy daye or of the newe Moone or of the Sabboth dayes whiche are shadowes of thynges to come but the body is in Christe Let no man make you shote at a wronge marke c.

Other matters there are wherin the Papystes finde great faulte with the Protestantes whiche may be answered as easely as we haue done these aforesaid For we haue rehearsed the chief principall of what force strength they be who seeth not But forasmuche as they make the simple and ignoraunt people beleue that if these thinges be taken away the whole Religion of Christ falleth downe and vtterlye perisheth the people being persuaded that they are not tryfling traditions of meÌ„ but the graue and weyghtie ordinaunces of God And that therfore as an other Atlas they with their shulders holde vp the olde and auncient Catholyke Religion whiche otherwise would fall to ruine and vtter decay I pitieng and much lamenting the miserable state of the simple blinde and ignoraunt Christians so wretchedly seduced thorowe the suttle and craftye persuasions of these most suttle and craftye hypocrites which being in deede greuous and rauenyng wolues clothe themselues with shepes apparell that they may the easelier make a rauine and spoyle of the Christen flocke I haue thought good to declare and shewe out of Chronicles and Hystories who were the Authors and inuentours of all these tryfling tradicions drowsie dreames and idle inuentions whiche heretofore haue bene counted for true Religion and Gods seruice Agayne at what tyme or yeare of our Lorde euery one of their beggarly ceremonyes were thruste into the Churche that by thys meanes suche as will open their eyes and no more be obstinatly blynde may easely perceaue and see how wickedly the wicked and Popish hypocrites haue in tymes past seduced and receaued the simple poore Christians while they haue made them beleue that whatsoeuer is done in their Churche is diuine seruice and God is hyghlye pleased therwith contrarye to thys saying of Christe They worship me in vayne teaching doctrines whiche are the commaundementes of men and that to leaue these thinges vndone is deadly sinne and worthye great punishement A Priest to rede the Gospell at Masse without candle lyght to receaue the Sacramentall wine without minglyng of water to say Masse abrode without a Superâ—ltare Againe the Lay man to come vnto the Lordes table without shrifte and absolution at the Priests hand not to beare a candle on Candlemasse daye not to take ashes in Lent not to beare Palmes on Palme Sonday not to crepe to the crosse on good Fridaye not to abstayne from fleshe on Fridayes other fasting dayes with a thousand such like was counted a greater offence among the Papistes than to transgresse and breake any of the commaundements of God It may worthily be sayd to them as Christe sayde to the Pharesees and Scribes Well Prophecied Esay of you hypocrites as it is written This people honoureth me with their lippes but their hearte is farre fro me Howbeit in vayne do they serue me teaching the doctrines and commaundementes of men For ye lay the coÌ„maundements of God a part and obserue the constitutions of men c.
