I
am
sure
there
are
manye
that
will
moch
meruel
and
counte
it
a
greate
presumpcion
that
I
beinge
so
yonge

dampne

reciste

(
although
I
tan
not
excuse
their

that
it
is
sinne
before

they
had
not

Now
sith

If

:
Sir
I
haue
sent
you
such
bokes

you

for
and
one
moo
of
Rastels
makinge
/
wherin
he
goeth
aboute
to
proue
purgatorye
/
by
natural
philosophye
:
which
thinge
(
quod
he
)
I
think
be
more
easye
to
do
/
then
to
proue
it
by
any
good
scripture
.
〈◊〉
.
This
stuffe
receaved
/
I
was
mervelouslye
desyrous
and
tickled
to
se
what
reasons
he
brought
for
his
probacions
.
And
in
the
beginninge
and
prologe
of
the
boke
/
he
sette
seven
reasons
which
he
sayed
that
fonde
felowes
alleged
for
them
to
proue
that
there
coulde
be
no
purgatorye
.
And
in
dede
they
are
verye
fonde
that
wolde
denye
purgatorye
/
if
there
were
no
better
argumentes
to
confute
it
then
he
assigneth
.
But
by
goddes
grace
I
will
propounde
seven
tymes
seven
which
shall
haue
such
pith
/
that
their
paynfull
purgatorye
shall
not
be
able
to
abyde
the
worst
of
them
/
for
these
seven
that
〈◊〉
assigneth
are
not
worth
one
bene
.
When
I
had
red
and
wel
pondered
these
reasons
/
I
thought
that
he
shuld
sharpelie
haue
confuted
them
/
as
he
might
full
well
haue
done
/
speciallye
●…ith
they
were
but
of
his
awne
imaginacyon
.
Neuerthelesse
when
I
came
vnto
his
solucions
I
founde
not
one
but
it
had
●…erten
poyntes
repugnaunte
vnto
the
scripture
(
vnto
which
on●…e
reason
must
euer
be
obedient
)
yee
and
also
they
were
extremelye
iniutious
vnto
christ
and
his
precious
bloude
.
Then
left
I
him
/
and
red
sir
Thomas
Mo●…es
boke
/
to
se
what
scripture
might
be
brought
for
that
purposse
.
And
after
that
made
I
diliget
enquyre
to
come
by
my
lorde
of
Rochesters
boke
which
also
writeth
on
the
same
matter
/
and
when
I
had
wel
examined
their
reasons

and
had
sene
the
ordre
and
processe
of
the
scriptures
Notwithstondinge

lefte

purgatoryes

One
to
purge
the

clense

and
partlye
added
therto
by
consentinge
vnto
oure
natural
infirmite

This

must
we
receave
with
a
glad

thanke
oure

for
it

for
it
is
but
a
medicyne
to
healc
oure
infirmitye

to
subdue
oure
rebellious
membres

But
when
oure

the
purgatoryes

partlye

that

no

man
wyll
denye

although
manye
of
hys
probacyons

so

they

it

yfmen
were

And
therfore
I

thys

the
deceytfull
reasons
vnto
the
true
〈◊〉

might
perceyue

And
if
anye

haue
bene
deceyued
thorow
hys
boke
(
as
I
trust
there
are

fewe

they
be

for
his
in

whych
hath
sent
hys

thys

to
dysclose

expell
theyr
darke

ignorauncye

that
they
maye

Amen
The
first
boke
whych
is
an
an
swere
vnto
Rastels
dialoge
.
THere
is
no
man
as
I
think
that
hath
a
natural
wirte
/
but
he
wil
graunte
me
that
thys
boke
of
Rastels
makinge
is
either
true
or
false
.
If
it
be
false
/
then
how
so
euer
it
seme
to
agre
wyth
naturall
reason
it
is
not
to
be
alowed
:
yf
it
be
true
/
then
must
we
approue
it
.
Naturall
reason
must
be
ruled
by
scripture
If
naturall
reason
conclude
agenst
scrypture
/
so
is
it
false
/
but
if
it
be
agreynge
to
scripture
then
is
it
to
be
harde
.
Of
this
maye
I
conclude
that
if
Rastels
boke
be
agreinge
to
scripture
/
then
is
it
true
and
to
be
alowed
/
yf
it
determe
contrarye
to
the
scripture
then
is
it
false
and
to
be
abhorred
/
how
so
euer
it
seme
to
agre
with
naturall
reason
.
Now
is
there
no
christen
man
but
he
beleueth
surelye
that
if
Chryst
had
not
dyed
for
oure
sinnes
we
shuld
all
haue
bene
dampned
perpetuallye
and
neuer
haue
entred
in
to
the
ioyes
of

/
which
thynge
is
easye
to
be
proued

I
myght
full
well

I
wyll
declare
vnto
you
what
solucyons
he
maketh
to
these
seauen
weake
reasons
whych
he
hath
propounded
hym silfe

for
he
auoydeth
them
so
slenderlye
/
that
yf
a
man
had
any
doubte
of
purgatorie
before
/
it
wolde
make
him
swere
on
a
boke
that
there
were

that

there
are

moch
more

The

that

whye
shall

you
how

that

They

that

out

And
so
at

they
are

agenst

that
Christ
hath
not

shulde

farre

Now
seinge
it

I
think
that
there
was

the
vse
of
all

chefest
cause
why
they
were
ordyned

this

Temporall

that
they
maye
be

ne
the
vnfaythfull
(
which
els

that
they
maye
at
the
lest
for
feare
of
punishment
abstayne
from
committinge
like
offences

for
if
their
sinne
were
vnpunished
then
shulde
all
vice
raigne

the
vtter
subuersion

They
are
also
profitable
for

faithfull

they
trye

purefye
the
faith

subdue

mortefye

that
they
maye

to
with

the
vehement
assautes

that

I
thinke
that
neyther
Rastell
And
to
be
shorte
the
first
proposicion
&
Maior
of
his
reason
is
this
that
contricion
or
repentaunce
is
the
verye
pay
ment
and
satisfaccion
for
sinne
.
That
is
a
starcke
lye
to
beginne
with
all
.
For
if
we
by
all
oure
contricion
/
repentaunce
/
sacrifices
and
workes
(
I
adde
more
to
helpe
him

can
fullye
paye
and
satisfye
for
oure
sinnes
/
then
is
Christ
deed
in
vayne
and
mought
full
well
haue
spar●…d
his
bloude
.
This
can
no
man
denye
/
but
he
that
will
sette
at
nought
both
Christ
&
al
the
scripture
.
And
they
saye
(
sayeth
Rastell
)
that
when
a
man
committeth
a
sinne
and
after
is
repentaunte
therfore
/
that
god
of
his
goodnesse
doth
forgeue
him
/
and
that
that
repentaunce
is
the
onlye
satisfaccion
that
god
wolde
haue
to
be
made
and
done
for
that
sinne
.
Thys
is
the
nexte
parte
of
his
argument
&
contayneth
And
then
(
saith
he
)
sith
Even
iust
/
if
heaven
fell
we
shulde
catch
larkes
.
Now
let
vs
se
how
properlye
he
answereth
To
prepare
him silf
vnto
his
matter
he
That
man
was
created
of
god
to
do
him
honoure
and
service
.
For
if
a
man
maye
saye
the
truth
man
was
not
made
for
the
entent
to
be
a
servaunte
and
do
service
.
For
god
hath
no
neade
of
oure
service
but
was
in
as
full
honoure
and
as
wel
served
before
the
worlde
begane
as
he
now
is
.
So
that
his
honoure
/
ioye
and
service
is
hole
in
him silfe
/
and
is
by
vs
neyther
employed
nor
diminished
.
But
the
cause
why
he
made
man
was
this
that
man
shulde
haue
the
fruicyon
of
his
ioye
But
yet
let
vs
se
how
he
answereth
the
argument
/
and
severallye
examine
everye
parte
.
The
first
parte
was
:
that
contricion
or
repentaunce
is
the
verye
payment
and
satisfaccion
for
I
wolde
be
loth
to
move
the
man
and
aske
To
that
I
answere
/
that
he
hath
no
pleasure
to
do
agenst
His
pleasure
is
to
forgeue
frelye
al
them
that
beleue

them

If
Rastell
meane
on

facion
then
graunte
we
him
.
But
if
h●…
vnderstonde
that
god
taketh
his
pleasure
and
libe●…tye
in

his
mercye
and
iustice
/
so
that
he
maye
condempne
him
which
hath
geven
the
verye
payment
&
full
satisfaccion
of
sinne
(
as

There
are

maner
of

The
There

vnto
the

God

y●
verye

thy

hath
no
properte
/
but
as
a
servaunte
to

/
as
but
to

Thefore
when
thou
doest
an
offence
to

to
thy
neygh
boure
/
when
god
forgeveth
it
thou
nedest
no
nother
satisfaccion
vnto
thy
neyghboure
And
to
sta
blish
his
reason
he
bringeth
in
a
similitude
which
is
nothinge
to
the
purpose
.
The
similitude
is
this
I
put

thou

thou

to

for

to

releses
i
his

name
.

this
servaunte
sell

of
thy
ware

take
an

of

eyther

some
other
cause
w●…lt
make
vnto
the
sayed
debtoure
a
clere
relese
:
I
suppose
no
man
will
denye
but
that
this
debtoure
is
fullye
discharged
of
this
.

pounde
/
and
is
not
bounde
by
any
iustice
to
make
any
satiffaccion
eyther
vnto
thy
servaunte
or
to
any
other
man
.
For
thou
arte
the
ve●…ye
owner
therof
/
and
thy
servaunte
had
but
the
occupacyon
as
to
geue
the
accoumptes
therof
.
This
similitude
can
not
well
be
applyed
vnto
God
of
him silfe
hath
two
powers
:
One
is
an
absolute
power
/
&
a nother
is
an
ordinarye
power
.
The
absolute
power
is
the
auctorite
y●
god
hath
ouer
all
thinge
in
y●
world
,
by
y●
he
maye
geue
to
everye
creature
what
pleaseth
him
/
&
also
forgeue
everye
offence
done
by
any
creature
at
his
pleasure
with
out
any
cause
.
And
by
this
maye
he
forgeue
both
y●
cryme
done
towardes
him silfe
/
&
also
towardes
my
neyghboure
.
But
by
his
ordinarye
power
he
doth
euerye
thinge
by
ordre
of
iustice
and
equite
.
And
by
this
can
he
not
forgeue
the
offence
done
to
him
and
my
neyghboure
with
out
satisfaccion
.

can

.
For
it
speaketh
not
one
worde
neyther
of
fyre
nor

but
it
speaketh
of
a
sacrifyce
offered
for

deed

might
be

because
there
is
a
resurreccion
of
the
deed
/
which
maye
well
be
with
out
any
payne
or
fyre
.
So
that
this
conclusion
is
verye
ba●…
and
naked
:
It
is
good
to
offer
sacrifyce
for
the
deed
that
they
maye
be
loosed
from
their
sinnes
/
ergo
there
is
a
sensible
fyre
which
doth
punish
the
holye
and
chosen
people
of
god
.
I
am
sure
there
is
no
childe
/
but
he
maye
perceave
that
this
argument
is
nought
.
Besides
that
it
is
to
be
doubted
whether
Iudas
did
well
or
not
in
offerings
this
sacrifyce
.
And
therfore
oug●…t
we
not
of
a
folish
presumpcyon
to
folowe
his
facte
vntill
we
knowe
how
it
was
accepted
.
Parad
venture
thou
wilt
saye
that
the
dede
is
commended
in
the
sayed
texte
/
where
it
sayeth
:
But
because
he
considered
that
they
which
with
godlines
had
entred
theire
slepe
(
that
is
their
deeth
)
had
good
favoure

therfore
is
the

/
that
they
maye
be
loosed

I
answere
/
that
the
persones
which
were
slayne
in
the
battayle
for
whom
this
prayer
and
sacrifyce
was
made
/
were
founde
to
haue
vnder

were

all

?
And
they
were

that
they
shuld
adde

Master
More
also
sayeth
/
that
the
monye
was
sent
to
buye
sacrifices
which
shuld
beoffered
for
the
sinne
of
the
slayne
.
Now
knoweth
everye
christen
that
all
maner
of
sacrifices
and
offeringes
were
nothinge
but
figures
of
Christ
which
shuld
be
offered
for
the
sinne
of
his
people
.
So
that
when
Christ
came
/
all
sacrifyces
and
oblacions
ceased
.
If
thou
shuldest
now
offer
a
calfe
to
purge
thy
sinne
/
thou
were
no
doubte
iniuryous
vnto
the

of

for
if
thou
thought
his
bloude
sufficent
/
then
woldest
thou
not
seke
a nother
sacrifyce
for
thy
sinne
.
yee
I
will
go
further
with
you
there
was
not
one
sacrifice
in
the
olde
testament
that
purged

toke

For

will
I
go
a
litle
nere
vnto

Iudas
him silfe
beleved
not
that
there
was
a
purgatorye
.
For
in
the
tyme
of
the
olde
testament
there
was
no
purgatorye
as
the
scolemen
graunte
them selues
but
onlye
a
place
of
rest
which
they
called
limbus
patrum
:
wherfore
they
are
pituous

/
I
can
not
finde
a

that
of
it silfe
more
properlye
confuteth
this

than
doth
this

they
sticke

sore
to

imageninge
that
it
stablisheth

The

Now

if
there

Parad
venture
you
desyre
to
knowe
my
minde

and
that
I
shuld
expounde
vnto
you
what
Iudas
ment
in
his
oblacion
sith
he
thought
of
no
purgatorye
as
the
for

specefye

Uerelye
I
thinke
that
Iudas
beleued
that
there
shuld
be
a
resurreccion

as
this

him

thinkinge
well

devoutelye

For
emonge
the
Iewes
there
were
manye

not
the

they
that
beleved

I
wolde

that
Christ

also
affermeth
that

Now
let
vs
reason
of
this
texte
.
By
the
rekeninge
is
vnderstonde
a
punishment
for
the
sinne
(
as
Master
More
sayeth
him silfe
)
and
this
rekeninge
shal
be
vppon
the
daye
of
dome
/
ergo
then
this
punishment
for
sinne
can
not
be
before
the
daye
of
dome
/
but
eyther
vppon
or
els
after
the
daye
of
dome
.
For
god
will
not
first
punish
them
and
then
after
reken
with
them
to
punish
them
anewe
.
And
so
is
purgatorye
quyte
excluded
.
For
al
they
that
ever
imagined
anye
purgatorye
do
put
it
before
the
iudgement
/
for
when
christ
cometh
to
iudgement
/
then
ceaseth

as
they
all
consent
/
neyther
is
there
any

stronge
his

are

will
happen
to

for

make

you
maye
wel
knowe
that
if
his
matter
had
bene
anye
thinge
likelye
/
he
wolde
haue
coloured
it
if
a nother

.
But
sith
such
a
patrone
/
so
greatlye
commended
for
his
conveyaunce
and
wysedome
/
handleth
this
matter
so
slenderlye
/
you
maye
well
mistrust
his
cause
.
Th●…s
is
the
last
reason
grounded
of
scripture
wher
with
he
hath
laboured
to
proue
purgatorye
.
And
after
his
reason
he
rekeneth
vpp
the
doctoures
/
and
saith
for
his
pleasure
that
all
make
for
him
/
but
as
touchinge
the
doctours
I
wil
make
a
suffycient
answere
in
the
thirde
parte
which
is
agenst
my
lorde
of
Rochestre
.
Thus
he
leueth
the
scripture
which
he
hath
full
vnmanerlye
handled
/
and
now
endevoureth
him silfe
to
proue
his
purposse
by
some
pro
bable
reasons
/
And
first
he
bringeth
in
his
olde
argument
that
the
church
can
not
erre
/
to
the
which
reason
I
nede
not
to
answere
/
for
wyllyam
Tindale
hath
declared
abundantlye
/
in
a
treatise
which
by
goddes
grace
you
shall
shortlye
haue
/
whate
the
church
is
/
and
also
that
it
both
maye
erre
and
doth
erre
/
if
the
pope
and
his
adherentes
be
the
church
as
master
More
imagineth
.
After
this
he
confirmeth
his
phantasye
with
phantasticall
apparicions
/
sayenge
:
that
there
haue
in
everie
contre
and
in
everye
age
apparicions
bene
had
/
and
wel
knowne
and
testifyed
/
by

/
and
shewed
them selves

&c.
If
they
saye
y●
these
be
lyes
/
then
be
they
moch
worse
than
their
master
Luther
him silfe
/
for
he
consenteth
in
his
sermons
that
manye
such
apparicions
be
tru●…
/
and
if
they
be
true
/
then
must
there
nedes
be
a
purgatorye
.
Here
playeth
master

the
sotle
soph●…
●…ter
and
wolde
deceave
men
with
a
fallace
which
lyeth
in
this
worde
/
true
/
so
that
when
he
sayeth
that
such
apparicions
be
true
/
this
sentence
maye
be
taken
two
maner
of
wayes
.
One
/
that
it
is
true
that
such
phantastical
apparicions
do
appeare
to
diverse
/
and
that
I
thinke
no
man
be
so
folish
but
he
will
graunte
him
.
And
yet
in
dede
are
they
no
soules
but
verye
devels
that
so
appeare
to
delude
men
/
that
they
shulde
falle
from
the
faith
of
Christ
and
make
a
god
of
their
awne
workes
trustinge
to
be
saved
therebye
.
But
to
suppose
this
true
/
that
they
are
the
soules
of
purgatorye
which
so
appeare
/
is
verye
fonde
/
false
and
agenst
al
scripture
/
for

that

Besides
that
the
parable
of
the
rich
man
and
Lazarus
doth
vtterlye
condemne
all
such
apparicyons
/
that
they
are
no
soules
which
appeare
but
verye
devels
.
For
when
the
rich
man
desyred
that
Lazarus
might
go
and
warne
his
brothren
/
that
they
shulde
not
come
in
to
that
place
And
so
maye
I
conclude
that
it
were
in

to
sende

that
in

of

but
that
they
are
verelye
devels
which
come
to
delude
the
people
/
and
to
withdrawe
them
from
Christ.
Furthermore

men
graunte
that
the
appearinge
of

was
but
an
illusion
of

It
is
not
longe
sith
such
a
question
was
moved
in

/
the
thinge
was
this
/
there
was
a
poore
man
of
the
countre
/
which
was
sore
troubled
with
such
apparicions
/
for
there
came
a
thinge
to
him
which
desyred
him
to
go
certayne
pilgrimages
and
to
do
certayne
other
ceremonyes
wherbye
it
sayed
that
it
shulde
be
delivered
from
innumerable
tourmentes
which
it
now
suffred
.
The
poore
man
beleved
that
this
thinge
sayed
truth
/
and
did
as
it
commaunded
.
Notwithstondinge
it
came
so
often
vnto
him
/
that
what
with
laboure
and
whate
with
feare
/
the
man
was
almost
besides
him silfe
/
and
then
was
he
sent
to
Oxforth
to
aske
counsell
what
was
best
to
be
done
.
The
question
was
moved
to
one
doctoure
Nicolas
/
and
he
affirmed
by
&
by
that
it
was
no
soule
but
the
verye
devell
/
and
that
he
shulde
no
more
folowe
the
fendes
appitite
.
Then
was
it
moved
to
doctoure
kington
/
and
he
affirmed
the
same
.
Finallye
/
they
enquyred
of
doctoure
Roper
what
his
minde
was
therin
/
and
he
sayed
that
he
wolde
loke
on
his
boke
/
and
when
he
had
loked
his
pleasure
/
he
gaue
this
answere
.
Let
him
alone
awhyle
(
quod
he

●…
I
warrant
you
/
that
this
folowe
shall
eyther
hange
him silfe
/
or
droune
him silfe
/
or
come
to
some
other
mische●…
.
Thus
determined
these
men
/
wh
●…h
are
a
greate
deale
to
supersticious
to
dissent
from
any
of
the
olde
doctours
/
yee
or
els
from
theyr
awne
scolemen
.
And
yet
wolde
Master

make

that
they
were

that

such

Now
cometh
Master
More
to
solute
tho
se
two
reasons
that
were
brought
agenst
purgatorye
in
the
supplycacyon
of
beggers
/
whych
was
the
hole
occasyon
of
hys
boke
.
And
marke
how
slender
his
solucyons
are
.
The
first
reason
is
this
.
If
there
were
any
purgatorie
out
of
which
the
pope
might
delyuer
one
soule
by
hys
pardone
/
then
maye
he
by
the
same
auctoryte
delyuer
manye
:
and
yf
he
maye
deliver
manye
/
them
maye
he
deliver
them
all
.
The
seconde
reason
is
this
.
If
he
can
deliver
them
for
monie
:
then
maye
he
a●…so
deliver
them
wyth
out
monye
.
And
then
is
he
a
verye
cruell
tyraunte
whych
hepeth
th●…m
in
paynes
so
intollerable
(
as
he
imagineth
him selfe
)
vntill
they
paye
monye
.
THe
first
he
soluteth
on
thys
maner
.
Syth
●…s
concerninge
satisfaccion
/
I
haue
spoken
sufficientlye
before
agenst
Rastell
.
The
scripture
knoweth
no
nother
satisfaccyon
to
be
made
for
sinne
towardes
god
/
but
only
the
bloude
of
hys
sonne
Iesu
christ
.
for
if
there
were
a nother
satisfaccyon
/
then
dyed
christ
in
vayne
:
yee
and
he
that
seketh
anye
other
satisfaccyon
for
hys
synne
(
towardes
god
)
then
christs
bloude
(
whych
must
be
receyved
wyth
a
repentinge
harte
thorow
faith
)
doth
despyse
christes
bloude
&
treade
it
vnder
hys
fete
.
And
so
ys
the
first
parte
of
Master
Mores
solucyon
false
/
that
they
shulde
be
shutte
in
purgatorie
to
make
satisfaccyon
.
Besides
that
where
he
saieth
that
yf
the
pope
shulde
so
delyuer
them
/
he
shulde
delyuer
them
fre
.
I
saye
naye
.
For
the
pope
can
deliuer
no
man
from
thence
vntyll
satisfaccion
be
made
/
as
both
he
and
all
his
ad
herentes
graunte
.
And
therfore
to
finde
awaye
how
he
might
seme
to
delyuer
them
/
he
fayneth
that
he
hath
in
hys
handes
the
merytes
of
christes
passyon
/
and
the
merites
of
al
sayntes
to
destribute
them
at
hys
pleasure
.
And
therfore
might
the
pope
applye
the
merites
of
christes
passion
and
of
other
sayntes
vnto
the
se
selye
soules
and
so
deliuer
them
.
For
those
merites
are
ynough
to
satisfye
for
the
soules
in
purgatorye
/
if
there
were
ten
tymes
so
manye
.
And
so
shulde
the
pope
delyuer
them
not
fre
/
but
chaunginge
the
maner
of
their
satisfaccyon
from
pay
●…e
/
in
to
merites
of
christes
passion
and
of
al
saintes
.
And
so
is
this
reason
not
abated
but
rather
stronger
than
it
was
before
.
Now
be
it
to
saie
the
truth
/
the
merites
of
christes
passion
are
onlye
dystrybuted
vnto
the
faythfull
/
and
that
by
god
and
his
sprete
and
not
by
the
pope
.
And
as
for
the
merites
of
sayntes
can
not
helpe
other
/
for
they
haue
to
lytle
for
them selues
yf

shulde

:
for

be

that
they
which
feare
not
to

for

For
we

I
haue
harde
tell
of
a
boye
which
was
present
at
his

for
his
beleue

assone

had

Let

shall
finde
him
as
greate
an
heretike
as
his
father

When
th●…
boye
sawe
that
his
father
was
deed
/
and
that
the
catchpolles
beganne
to
snatch
at
him
.
he
was
sore
dismayed
and
thought
that
he
shulde
dye
to
.
And
when
one
of
them
apposed
him
askinge
him
how
he
beleved
/
he
answered
:
Master
/
I
beleue
even
as
it
pleaseth
you
.
Even
so
by
tourmentes
and
craftye
handlinge
a
man
maye
be
compel●…ed
to
saye
that
he
beleveth
the
thinge
which
he
neyther
thinketh
nor
yet
can
beleue
.
For
a
mannes
faith
is
not
in
his
awne
power
.
But
how
doth
god
accepte
this
thinge
/
to
saye
that
I
beleue
that
which
in
dede
I
beleue
not
?
Uere
lye
he
vtterlye
condempneth
it
whether
the
opinion
be
true
or
false
.
For
if
the
opinion
be
true
(
as
by
example
that
the
faith
in
Christes
bloude
iustefyeth
me
before
god
)
and
I
confesse
it
before
all
the
bysshopes
in
engloude
with
my
mouth
and
beleue
it
not
with
myne
harte
/
then
am
I
nothinge
the
better
(
for
I
shulde
haue
no
parte
of
Christes
bloude
)
but
I
am
moch
the
worse
.
For
first
god
condempneth
me
/
which
iudgeth
me
after
myne
harte
/
and
also
myne
awne
harte
condempneth
me
because
I
haue
openlye
grauntid
that
myne
harte
deuyeth
.
And
contrarie
wyse
/
if
I
shulde
beleue
this
fullye
in
inyne
harte
/
ad
yet
for
feare
of
persecution
shulde
denye
it
when
I
were
examined
open
lye
of
my
faith
/
then
shall
I
be
condemned
of
god
(
excepte
I
repent
)
and
also
mine
awne
harte
shal
be
a
witnesse
to
condemne
me
.
And
so
is
it
ver●…e
noysome
and
vngodlye
to
be
compelled
vnto
any
thinge
/
for
god
ever
sercheth
the
