soche holye ordynaryes of englande as they be here named were dilygentlye sowght out and well wayed I feare me they schuld apere verye scant honest men well the lorde seeth all and schall surelye iudge it at a daye ¶ The manne of synne ¶ 1 And more ouer that I haue not accustomed to obserue and kepe the. 2. laudable ceremonyes rytes and customes of thys catholyck churche of englande cōmonlye obserued and kepte by other that is to saye 3. neyther in goynge procession vpon satudaye● at euensonge 4. nor in the vsage and maner of makynge of holye vvater and holye brede 5. nor in makynge my
