hande VVhen the Priestes ●e in the temple they wil talke more ●ilie and more baudelye then al others and yet will the vile wretches presume to say masse immediatlye thinkīg as did the vile traitor Iudas that he doth god good seruice when he dāneth his own soule After masse wil the deuelishe priest returne leading the whore home againe keepe her companie all the daie time with out exhortaciō to repentaunce and lie with her al the night I speake not of mens wiues but curtesaunce and commen whores that for money receiue euerie knaue ▪ I would not that any man should thinke the masse euil which this cursed priest doeth celebrate for the masse which is vndou●tedly gods most holy worde is so perfecte and so pure of it selfe that the euill prieste can not make it worse nor the good prieste can make it no better The euil priest can not corrupt it nor the good priest can not purifi● it for like as if a good priest doe ba●tise one childe and an euil priest ba●tise a nother childe her bothe the children receaue one holy goste an● are both equally clensed from sinne Euen so though an euill prieste saye masse and consecrate that most blessed sacrament and ministre it to me and a good prieste dooeth likewise minister to another man yet bothe we receiue the most holy bodie and bloud of our sauiour Christ and are both ioyned and made members of the same for these holy misteries be not made by the good priest nor the euil priest but by goddes most holye worde VVhiche worde remaineth euer most perfect and pure mary the euill priest vndoubtedlie offendeth many mens cōsciences most greuouslie dishonoreth god moste shamefullie with liuing so viciouslie cōdemneth his own soule perpetuallie beecause he commeth presumptuouslie to the ●ordes borde vnworthelie wher the good priest cleane cōtrarie brīgeth manie to gods verite honoreth god perfectly with keping perfect charite and in liuing religiously his soule shal liue assuredly with Christ continnually in ioye euerlastingly All men may perceiue that I write not thys because any man shoulde thinke euil or despice gods moste holye seruice But because al men may know that the very nature of Spaniardes is abominable in all thinges Because euery man may know that gods moste holy seruice is pure and perfect And the abuse of it is damnable and beecause al men may knowe that suche cursed knaues make not onely gods worde which is most good and godly most iust and most trewe but also all good priestes euill spoken of and abhorred in euery place what greater mischife can there be amongest Christen men then that the Prieste shoulde thinke himselfe clensed with speaking the wordes and the people iudge themselues purified with hearing the same Be not these worse then the Pharisees that thinke to be saued with saying wel and working euill or if the Iewes were not saued with hearing christ himself preache how much lesse shall these wretches be saued with hearing masse Marke and you shall finde al such superstycious hipocrisie damnable The gospel teacheth vs that not eueri one which said lord lord shal enter into the kingdom of heauen but he that worketh the wil of god shalbe saued not the hearers of the lawe but the workers shalbe accompted iust Not those which say the cōmaundemētes daily but those whiche bothe say in their hartes and indeuoure thēselfes in all their doinges to kepe the commaundementes shall please god Not those whiche say in their pater noster good lorde deliuer vs from euill but those whiche forgeue their neyghbours wyth all their heartes and flye from synne wyth all theyr myghte shall bee forgeuen of God and be saued Yet though we doe al thys we cannot iustifie oure selues because we can not fulfill the lawe But our sauiour Christ hath fulfilled the law perfectly and vndoubtedlye redemed vs with the sheddinge of his most precious bloud And therefore he biddeth vs not seke to iustifie our selues but commaundeth vs to doe all that we can towardes our own iustificacion which Spaniards nother doe nor wil not doe Christē men must call them selues vnprofitable seruauntes when they haue done all that they can doe but Spaniardes call them selues gods profitable seruauntes and do nothing what shold I declare how thei carie their beades openly to be sene of all people how they praye in euerye corner of the streates that euery man maye heare them how they knele at euery man● dore before Imags knockinge crossinge Sobbinge syghinge wringinge their handes waggynge their heades with suche other vnsemelye maners that all menne maye perceiue their

them wil not geue almes but where they may be set in a boke that all their contremen may know how much and how mani times in the yer thei geue almes VVhat other thing did the Iewes and Pharisees Did not Christ in the .vi. of Mathew reproue suche hipocrisie but let all christiās take this general rule that like as our pater noster can not be made euyll though cursed wretched persōs vse or rather abuse it hipocritically but euer remainth perfect pure good euen so the masse almes dedes holye breade holy water goinge with procession auriculer confession beades Images and all other thynges which
