OF

that

Kyng
henry
the

,
defensor
of
our

/
when
the
clergye
hard
tell
that
the
greate
extorcyon
that
they
had
long
tyme
vsed
/
in
the
wrongfull
takyng
of
mortuaryes

by

of

shulde

and
more
meanely
qualyfyed
to
the
greate
relyfe
and
comforte
of
all
the
kynges
laye
subyectes
/
Then
one
of
theym
stode
vp
/
and
sayde
opynly
/
that
it
was
to
be
feared
that
the
comons
of
this
realme
of
Englonde
/
be
mych
infected
with
heresye
bycause
they
intendyd
to
minyshe
and
to
plucke
from
the
churche
the
lybertyes
of
Chrystes
churche
/
dredyng
that
thereby
it
myght
fortune
to
this
realme
/
as
lately
be
fell
to
the
realme
of
Boeme
/
that
was
the
subuercion
of
that
same
realme
/
But
it
semyth
that
therin
the
clarke
there
opyned
his
couetous
stomake
/
then
callynge
theyr
wrongfull
exaccyons
to
be
the
lybertyes
of
Christes
church
/
nat
consideryng
that
there
be
.ii.
lybertyes
in
the
churche
/
one
that
is
temporall
that
hath
be
geuyn
by
the
kyng
&
by
his
noble
progenytours
which
may
be
resumed
by
lyke
auctoryte
And
there
is
an
other
spirytuall
lyberty
that
comyth
only
from

/
that
is
spoken
of
.i.
Coryn

Our
lorde
is
the
spyryte

and
where
the

there
is
lybertye

and
that
lybertye
none
Emperoure
ne
Kyng
can

¶
Now
although
percase
the
sayde
clerk
be
a
famouse
doctor
/
&
precher
of
the
worde
of
god
/
and
be
also
a

man
of

yet
it
aperyth
euydently
by
that
seyeng
that
he
is
sore
infected
with
Aueryce
/
which
is
the
seruytude
and
bondage
of
Idolls
and
is
also
roote

volupteous
conuersacion

and

abhomynacyons
of

/
that
ryseth
of
the
superfluite
of
theyr

¶
And
also
sythyn
that
tyme
of
the

of
this

forsayd
presente

it
hath
byn
a

wherein
it
semyth
that

and
also
that
they
can
shew
theyr

and
can
proue

It
