blessed mot he be Oliu. Nicholas ye blesse Christ but you cal his word new learning herisie and babling Nich. Naye that I do not Oliuer Did not you cal the holy readyng of the Byble so euen now Nich. why our sir Iohn telleth vs it was made by king Harry theight Oli. No good Nicholas no. That gratious king set it out and commaūded that the people should reade it without ani letting But the Bible is gods boke and al that is in it is gods truth Therfore the old fathers that we should folow ar Christes prophetes and Apostles and Christ him selfe and not our old grandsires grandames For God geueth an expresse cōmaundement zacha i. saying Be not lyke your forefathers vnto whom the prophets cryed before tyme saying Thus saith the lord god of hostes Turne from your euell waies and from your wicked imaginations they heared not nor toke heede vnto me saieth the Lorde Nich. Our forefathers were good men Olyuer But yet Christ was better Nich. They were wise men Oliu. Yea but yet Christe was wyser Nich. They were holy men Oliue But Christ is holier And what soeuer you can recken of them goodnes i. corin i. wisedome holynes c. Christ excelleth them in al things For he is made of god vnto vs our wisdō rightuousnes holines sanctification Iho. xiiii and redemption Christ is the way the truth and the life and no man can come to the father but by him He that heareth Christes wordes hath life euerlasting But Nicholas tell me cā sir Iohn make an oxe or an horse Nicho. Nay by mi truth I trow not Oli. How can he thē make gods body Nich. It is no matter how we must beleue so for he saith so Olyu Nay Nicholas we must not beleue al that sir Iohn saith but we must beleue all that he saith and hath gods word to confirme his saying And this is an intollerable pride of the papistes to teach the people that thei make gods body Truth it is Eph. iiii that Christ ascending into heauē gaue gyftes vnto men and appoynted church ministers but far other thē greased shauelinges for he apointed Apostles prophetes Euangelistes Shepheardes and teachers Phili. i. And saint Paule calleth the ministers of the church by the names of Bishops and Deacons i. Tim. iii. The office of these ministers appointed by Christ and S. Paul Luk. xiiii is to preach gods word to cal al men to repentaunce and amendement of life Iohn xxi i. Tim. iiii to declare to them that repent the good newes of the gospel Nich. Yea the prests wer wōt to come to our houses to say vs gospels make vs holi water holy bread and so I trust they wil again now Oliue I pray the heare me a litle The gospel is a glad tidings that god the father Luke ii for his sonne Iesus Christes sake ii cori v. is contented and reconciled and receiueth mā againe to his fauour and grace Gala. iiii and wyll for his sonne Iesus Christes loue take vs by adoptiō to be his children Ephesi i. giue vs his holy gost make vs enheritours of eternal life Ioh. xvii And to confirme this promise our Sauiour Iesus Christ hath ordained .ii. holy sacraments Titus iii. Baptisme wherin we are certified that al our sins are washed away in the death of Christ i. corin xi And the holi supper of the lord that when we come together we should take the bread Mat xxvi breake it Mar. xiiii eate it in remembraunce that Christes bodi was vpon the good Fridai offered vp vpō the crosse for our sinnes Luk. xxii and we shoulde al drinke of the cup in rēmembraūce that Christes bloud was shed for our sins Therfore this is the priestes office to preach the death of Iesus Christ and to teach the people to know that none other thing could deliuer them frō their sins and therfore they ought both to consyder the haynous vglines of sin and the great wrath of god ouer it which otherwise wold not be reconciled nor atone with mā Rom. viii Then on the other parte to declare the great mercy loue charitie of god towards vs that spared not his own beloued sōne but gaue him to the death of the cros for vs. Thus shoulde they be moued to repent the euel done to beleue and loue the charitie of God to walke in loue good frendship one to an other euer studying to liue an obedient life after the heauenly fathers wil and commaundementes Nich. Dothe not the priest make Gods bodye Do we not eate gods body Oliu. First answer me if thou can to a question or two Nicho. I wil if I can Oliue Canst thou say thy Creede in Englishe Nicho. Meanest thou the new Creede or the old Crede Oliuer There is but one Creede Nicho. I can saye that my mother taught me Credum deum I was harping at the new a good while but nowe I care not for it Oliue I se it was not for nought that christ said to his Apostles blessed ar the eyes that se that you se Luke x. For euen as then mani were blind and wold not se the light of his worde Iohn ix euen so is it now wel I wil help you out with your question Do you not beleue that the sonne of God came downe from heauen was borne for vs of the virgine Mary takyng our mans nature of her substaūce Nicho. Yes that I do Oliuer And that he was crucified for our sins dead and buried and rose agayne vpon Esterday Nicho. Yes verely Oliu. And that he ascended into heauen ▪ and sitteth on the righte hand of God the father almighti Nicho. Ye mary ye Olyu And frō thence he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead Nich. Ye mary Olyu Do you beleue this in very dede Nicho. Ye by my trothe Oliuer Then Christes bodye was made in the wombe of the virgin not by sir Iohn but as our Creede saith he was conceaued of the holy gost Luke i. borne of the virgin mari Other making of Christes body ther is none nor neuer was nor neuer shal be Thus our lord sauiour liued in this world August in Ioa. tract Item in pref pī xcviii taught vs the wai of gods truth euē the doctrine that is set out in the holy Byble wherof the chief and principal article is how we are redemed frō our sinnes and receaued into the fauour and grace of God by that holy raunsome of Christes bodye broken vpon the crosse his precious blud that was on the crosse shed for vs. The holy bread geuē at the lordes supper is the sacrament of Christes bodye that was broken on the crosse and the blessed cup that we drincke is the sacrament of that blessed blud shed for our synnes And when we receiue them as our body fedeth vp

This was not spoken of goyng aboute the churche yarde wyth a crosse borne vpon a staffe with a goodly banner cloth but to folow him in our vocation leading a godlye life and as I said patiently suffering the tribulation of this world for his woorde and truthes sake Nicho. Yet it is a good sight to se sir Iohn how he becommeth our best Cope and vpon an hie daye to se al our Copes worne in procession Oliu. why haue ye Copes yet Nich. Yea as saite as euer we had Oliu. were not ye sworen to bring in al such thyngs before the kings cōmissioners Nich. Yea but we brought in two or thre of the worst kept the best behinde stil Oliu. Howe will you excuse your selues of periury Nich. we ar sori that we brought in any at all and as for periurie let god vs deale it Oliu. I am afraid it wil be a miserable dealing when god will arise to iudge the wickednes of so vnfaithful people that nether feareth God nor regarded the othe made by his name nor yet the cōmaundement of their king It wer a much more better sight to se sir Iohn become wel the pulpit and declaring to the people howe to folow Christ in godlines of liuing Nich. what say ye to processiō in gang daies when sir Iohn saith a gospel to our corne feldes Oliu. I say nothing but this ye that haue forsaken to folow god as he commaūdeth shal be left to your self to folow your own inuenciōs And as for your latine gospels tead to the corne I am sure the corne vnderstādeth as much as you therfore hath as much profit bi them as ye haue that is to sai none at al And manye times thys hath bene sene that the Clerke hath left the crosse behinde him and the priest his gospel booke and scant found the righte waye home they haue bene so combred with malt wormes miseled with the spirite of the butterie Trow you that god was not wel pleased wyth thys good Nicholas Nic. I trow so But fare wel Masse wil be don or I come Oliu. It makes no matter for one day I wil read the a peece of the scripture in steede of thy Masse Nich. I care not for the scripture and sir Iohn bad me beware of it for it wold make me an heritique Oliuer Sir Iohn then readeth not the Scripture Ncho No he saith he wil meddle no further then his portas Oli. The Scripture is gods word ii Pete i. opened to vs from heauen by the holy prophetes Apostles and Christ him selfe Psal cxix it is the light to our feete candel to our foote steppes Psal xix it is the law of life vndefiled and holy conuerting soules it teacheth al things ii Tim. iii that is good perfect rightwise holy to make the man of God perfect vnto all good woorkes Psalm i. He is blessed that studieth in it day and night but sir Iohns owlish eies can not abide it And as for his portas ther is in it a meany of lies craftili cloined to deceiue such vnstable soules as delight in blindnes deceiued thē selues and deceiuing other Nich. By our Ladye sir Iohn is a good priest say what ye list Oliu. Is sir Iohn maried Nich. Nay Mariage he crieth phie on that Oliu. what was the mater that sir Iohn was afore the Shriefe of the shire a while a go Nich. A naughty queane slandred him Oliu. wherwith Nicho. She had a childe in an old baren laied it to the priests charge that he begot it Oliuer Thinckest thou it was not a slaunder of truth Nich. Tushe if it were hys it was but a course of kinde Oliu. Had it not ben better sir Iohn had dad a wife of his owne as S. Paule saieth to auoide fornication let euery man haue a wife of his own ii cor vii and euery woman her owne husband Nich. what should priestes do with wiues Let thē fast and pray as theirfore fathers did liue chast Oli. Chast as sir Iohn doth Nic. Tush he was shriuen or he went to mas it was wel inough Ol. Nicholas I could sai somwhat of the vnwedded priests chastiti tel the many preti histories how holili the foxes abstaine frō snatching of goseflesh as oft as thei mai come to it But as S. Paule saith Ephesi v. it is shame to speake those thinges that thei do for such thīgs sake cōmeth the wrath of god vpō the childrē of vnbelefe althoughe ye make a tushing at it i. Cor. vii despice the holye state of wedlocke in those priests that be maried Yet do their folow the cōmaundement of God who cōmaundeth that euery man haue his own wife euery woman her own husband to the auoiding of whooredome And agayne Gods worde sayeth If they can not abstayne let them marrye for it is better to marrye then to bourne And againe Saint Paule saith as concerning virgins i. Tes iiii I haue no cōmaundement of the Lord. And againe This is the wil of god euen that you shuld be holy that ye should abstaine frō fornication Heb. xiii that euery one of you shuld know how to kepe his vessel in holines honor not in the lust of cōcupiscence as do the Hethen which know not god And again he saith wedlocke is to be had in honor among al mē the bed vndefiled for whoore kepers aduouterers god wil iudge Nic. This was spoken of men but sir Iohn is a priest Oliu. He is no angel nor yet stock not stone as apeareth by the preti babe But Nicholas is not mariage an holi thing Nic. Yes that is it prests tel vs it is one of the .vii. sacramentes Oliu. And is not priesthode holi also Nich. God forbid els Oliu. How chaūceth that holi priesthode holy mariage cā not agre together no better Nich. By mi truth mā I cannot tel Oli. I wil tel the. S. Paul saith the sprit speketh euidentlye i.
