Being enforced at length to translate it hee hath or purpose done it corruptly and with many vncouth obscure words hath hidden the truth still to keepe the people in blindnesse 7. Yet this their so corrupt obscure Translation is not admitted indifferently to all but to some and to these vnder license for which they pay money 8 These parties though they may read the Scriptures yet must it bee with the Popes Spectacles and may not see farther than the false Teacher pleaseth nor conceiue otherwise of the Sense than he suggesteth though the Text be neuer so cleare of it selfe 9 They blasphemously publish that the Scriptures are a Nose of Wax a dead Letter sowterly Inke dumbe Iudges and a black Gospell inkie Diuinity and may haue one sense one time and another at another time according to the Churches state condition 10 They set vp a corrupt Latine Translation for as authenticall as the Originalls in the Hebrew and the Greeke 11 And Lastly they brought into the Church in stead of the holy Bible a booke of Lyes to bee read Thus is this wicked wretch guilty of High-Treason against our Soueraigne Besides that hee hath counterfeited his Maiesties Broad Seale inuenting new Sacraments neuer of Christs institution and hath conspired and plotted the death of an innumerable multitude of his Maiesties Subiects in a most cruell and bloudie manner my Lord he is no way longer to be endured for we shall neuer bee at Peace as long as hee may haue libertie to liue for he is a ranke Traitor to our King and State an vnderminer of Religion and the true Church of Christ an enemie to our peace welfare in the Common-wealth Gentlemen saith the Iudge you of the Iurie haue heard Master Attournies witnes also what both Master Veritie and Sir Christianitie haue spoken against him now that you haue heard the euidence so fully what say you touching the Prisoner is he guiltie or no Then the Foreman in the name of all the rest answereth Guiltie my Lord.
