MY
most
sounng
frendes
and
brethren
(
concerning
our
common
faith
in
Christ
our
Lorde
)
where
of
late
dayes
I
am
contemptuously
and
slaunderously
reported
,
and
named
among
some
,
to
be
an
erroneous
felowe
,
one
of
the
new
learning
,
an
heretike
,
one
of
Latimers
secte
,
&
I
wotte
not
what
:
Be
it
knowen
to
the
worlde
,
that
I
am
none
other
,
than
a
true
christian
man
,
regenerate
&
instructed
(
nowe
in
my
middle
age
)
in
the
blessed
schole
of
Goddes
most
holy
Bible
and
Testament
(
thankes
be
to
his
fatherly
bounteous
mercy
therfore
)
&
sythence
I
haue
not
folowed
the
secte
of
any
earthy
man
,
nether
grounded
myne
opinion
,
faithe
,
or
doctrine
,
vpon
any
newe
learning
or
heresie
,
but
vpon
the
most
certaine
pure
vnfailing
true
worde
,
and
learning
of
almightie
God
,
sent
downe
,
reuealed
,
&
taught
from
the
seate
of
his
Maiestie
,
&
preached
at
his
commaundement
by
the
fathers
and
prophetes
,
by
Christ
his
sonne
,
and
his
holy
Apostles
:
and
also
regestred
and
specified
in
the
rolles
&
euidences
of
the
holy
sacred
scriptures
,
to
be
the
foundacion
,
rule
,
and
lawe
,
for
the
true
catholike
churche
of
God
to
be
builded
vpon
,
and
ruled
by
,
from
the
begynning
of
the
worlde
,
vnto
the
laste
daye
of
iudgement
.
And
here
vpon
only
haue
I
set
the
building
of
my
faythe
(
Iesus
Christ
hym self
beyng
the
head
corner
stone
)
Notwithstandyng
,
like
as
S.
paule
reporteth
,
that
Apollo
&
he
were
ministers
,
And
like
as
the
people
of
Berrhoe
(
by
diligent
reading
and
examining
And
forasmuche
as
I
esteme
them
men
,
which
(
without
sure
holde
of
the
scriptures
)
might
both
haue
deceaued
and
ben
deceaued
,
therfore
I
and
all
other
(
that
be
knytte
together
in
one
true
vnton
,
and
knotte
of
Christes
spirite
)
laye
our
foundacion
&
grounde
worke
,
not
vpon
fleshe
&
bloud
,
that
is
to
saye
,
vpon
no
mannes
worde
(
of
what
power
,
vertue
,
wisdome
,
learning
,
autoritie
,
estate
or
condicion
so
euer
he
be
)
but
vpon
the
vnfailing
true
worde
of
the
almightie
euerlyuing
Lorde
God
.
In
the
meane
while
,
yf
any
man
can
teache
me
better
,
&
more
truly
,
by
the
holy
canonical
scripture
,
I
am
content
(
as
reason
is
)
gladly
&
hartily
to
folowe
him
,
&
willingly
geue
him
place
,
with
condigne
praise
,
&
great
gramercies
.
But
as
for
any
other
doctrine
of
faith
,
besides
the
scriptures
,
or
contraryr
to
the
autoritie
of
the
scriptures
,
either
elles
by
violent
wrasting
and
wrythyng
of
the
scriptures
out
of
of
their
owne
sense
,
or
right
meanyng
,
I
shall
(
by
the
assistence
of
goddes
merciful
helpe
)
neuer
suffre
my selfe
to
be
plucked
awaye
from
the
simple
,
plaine
apostolike
true
faithe
:
bicause
man
is
frely
iustified
by
this
saith
,
and
euery
fayth
contrary
to
this
,
is
a
dead
fruteles
faithe
:
&
euery
doctrine
not
founded
vpon
,
or
contrarie
to
Goddes
holy
boke
And
concerning
the
holy
canonicall
And
forasmuche
as
the
Canonical
scripture
(
the
Bible
I
saye
)
is
the
selfe
same
worde
,
that
the
eternal
God
him selfe
hath
spoken
and
taught
,
and
therfore
endureth
permanent
,
to
be
a
lanterne
vnto
the
fete
,
&
a
light
vnto
mennes
fotesteppes
&
procedinges
for
euermore
:
it
hath
fidelitie
,
autoritie
,
certaitie
,
truthe
,
estimacion
&
perfection
pleinteously
ynough
in
it self
:
so
as
it
ought
not
to
be
made
authentike
again
by
the
churche
,
or
by
autoritie
of
the
wytnesse
of
men
,
either
yet
to
be
pice●●…
,
and
patched
it
with
the
tradicions
of
men
.
And
albeit
mennes
spirites
are
not
hable
to
accorde
with
some
bokes
&
textes
of
the
scriptures
:
the
mater
is
not
much
to
be
passed
vpon
.
For
we
know
,
that
mennes
iudgementes
ought
to
be
applied
and
obeye
vnto
the
scriptures
,
and
not
the
scriptures
vnto
mennes
iudgementes
.
And
touching
the
interpretacion
of
the
holy
canonical
scripture
,
this
haue
I
thought
,
and
(
after
the
examples
of
other
christen
ministers
)
I
haue
taught
,
and
yet
stil
I
thinke
,
and
confesse
vnto
the
worlde
,
that
it
ought
And
wher
the
fathers
,
the
doctours
of
the
holy
churche
haue
interpreted
But
as
for
all
other
doctrines
and
tradicions
of
men
(
how
glorious
,
how
gaye
,
how
highe
autoritie
,
title
,
or
auncientie
so
euer
they
be
commended
or
bragged
to
be
of
)
if
they
be
not
founded
&
grounded
vpon
some
testimonies
of
the
scriptutes
,
and
also
if
they
pull
vs
from
God
,
from
the
scripture
,
and
from
the
true
faithe
,
or
be
hinderous
vnto
vs
in
the
same
,
I
thinke
them
altogether
vayne
,
vnprofitable
,
and
of
non
effecte
,
yea
rather
pernicious
and
noysom
:
as
Christ
him self
openly
reporteth
of
them
,
Matth.
15.
Moreouer
the
only
intent
,
scope
&
ende
of
the
canonical
scripture
is
this
:
that
al
men
of
all
naciones
,
countreyes
and
places
might
be
by
it
instructed
&
taught
,
concernyng
the
grace
of
God
,
concerning
the
redempcion
,
bounteous
liberalitie
and
saluacion
,
that
is
pleyntifully
bestowed
&
geuen
in
Iesus
Christ
,
vnto
this
most
wretched
&
most
corrupte
synfull
worlde
:
&
also
concerning
charitie
and
faithe
,
namely
that
the
people
being
now
regenerate
,
might
be
partakers
of
this
saluacion
by
true
faithe
,
the
holy
children
of
God
the
father
,
and
heires
of
al
his
heauenvly
substaunce
.
And
touching
the
faithe
of
Christ
.
I
and
suche
other
poore
slaundred
Ministres
haue
nother
taught
,
nor
doo
beleue
any
other
thing
,
than
that
is
deliuered
vnto
be
from
the
holy
apostles
,
and
that
we
haue
receaued
of
our
christian
elders
and
faithfull
forefathers
.
And
that
same
I
for
my
parte
(
sithence
it
pleased
God
to
translate
me
from
the
Antichristian
darkenesse
of
popery
in
to
the
kingdome
of
his
sonne
)
haue
constauntly
and
faith
fully
kept
hitherto
pure
in
euery
condicion
.
And
the
same
I
purpose
(
by
the
helpe
of
Christes
gracious
fauour
)
to
kepe
still
and
confesse
,
with
the
true
catholike
churche
of
Christ
,
while
the
breathe
is
in
my
body
:
&
that
is
euen
thus
.
I
Beleue
in
God
the
father
almightye
maker
of
heauen
and
earthe
.
And
in
Iesus
Christ
his
only
sonne
our
Lorde
.
Whiche
was
conceaued
by
the
holy
goost
,
borne
of
the
virgin
Mary
.
Suffred
vnder
Ponce
Pilate
,
was
crucified
,
dead
,
and
buried
.
Be
descended
in
to
hell
.
The
thrid
daye
he
rose
again
from
the
dead
.
Be
ascended
in
to
heauen
,
&
sitteth
on
the
right
hande
of
God
the
father
almightie
.
From
thence
he
shall
come
,
to
iudge
the
quicke
and
the
dead
.
I
beleue
in
the
holy
goost
.
The
holy
catholike
churche
,
the
communion
of
Sainctes
.
The
forgeuenesse
of
synnes
.
The
resurrection
of
the
body
.
And
the
life
euerlasting
Amen
.
Now
forasmuche
as
God
hathe
geuen
me
grace
(
thankes
be
to
his
mercifull
goodnesse
therfore
)
to
pitch
my
staffe
,
in
the
foundacion
of
this
most
holy
,
most
asicient
,
&
true
catholike
faith
:
And
to
thinkēt
you
shal
plainly
knowe
,
how
I
vnderstande
the
said
articles
of
my
Crede
:
I
do
truly
saye
,
&
playnly
confesse
,
touching
the
furst
article
:
that
ther
And
therfore
God
is
the
father
of
mankind
,
not
for
his
creating
of
mankynde
only
,
but
also
for
his
daily
conseruacion
,
eternal
goodnesse
,
mercie
,
prouidence
,
comforting
and
helping
of
mankynde
.
Concerning
the
seconde
Article
,
I
beleue
&
confesse
,
that
God
the
father
,
Notwithstanding
we
confesse
the
sonne
to
be
our
Lorde
,
most
chiefly
,
for
that
he
hathe
deliuered
,
and
made
vs
free
,
from
the
lordeship
,
power
,
and
tyrannye
of
the
deuil
:
and
hauing
payde
our
raunsom
with
his
owne
precious
blood
,
which
he
sheadde
for
vs
,
he
hathe
made
vs
his
owne
peculiar
people
:
wherof
I
shall
speake
afterwarde
at
more
large
.
Touching
the
thirde
Article
,
I
beleue
and
confesse
,
that
the
same
sonne
And
after
this
maner
I
confesse
,
that
he
was
conceaued
very
natural
man
,
in
the
wombe
of
that
chaste
and
most
pure
virgin
,
and
of
her
blessed
blood
,
not
by
the
carnal
companie
of
man
,
but
by
the
holy
goost
:
And
that
he
was
borne
of
the
same
virgin
,
very
man
,
howbeit
holy
and
pure
without
synne
.
For
all
men
elles
,
are
(
according
to
their
owne
nature
)
bothe
conceaued
in
synnes
,
and
borne
the
children
of
wrathe
vnto
deathe
.
And
in
this
behalfe
I
do
playnly
Concerning
the
fourth
Article
.
I
beleue
and
confesse
,
that
the
same
sonne
And
after
all
this
,
he
gaue
him self
willingly
(
and
of
his
owne
accorde
)
vnto
deathe
.
And
was
shamefully
and
spitefully
brought
furthe
and
deliuered
by
the
Iewes
,
cruelly
tormented
of
the
gentiles
,
and
last
of
all
giltlesly
nailed
vpon
the
crosse
.
And
here
I
confesse
that
this
same
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
very
God
&
very
man
,
suffred
(
not
for
him self
,
but
for
vs
,
and
for
our
synnes
sake
)
most
greuous
paynes
,
vndeserued
stripes
,
and
bitter
sorowes
:
&
in
his
humayne
nature
(
which
coulde
dye
)
he
was
vndoubtedly
dead
and
buried
:
&
in
his
soule
he
suffred
most
extremely
the
bitter
sharpenesse
of
Goddes
iudgement
,
and
the
very
paines
of
hel
,
that
he
might
deliuer
vs
ther
from
.
And
I
most
faithfully
and
certainly
beleue
,
that
this
blessed
passion
and
deathe
of
the
innocent
sonne
of
God
,
And
therfore
forasmuche
as
I
am
throughly
instructed
in
this
most
certain
and
sure
strong
argument
of
this
our
true
,
and
vndoubted
christen
catholike
faithe
,
I
plainly
confesse
,
that
man
can
in
no
wise
be
iustified
,
pourged
of
his
synnes
,
or
fynde
any
shifte
to
satisfie
or
to
be
clensed
of
them
,
either
by
any
workes
or
merites
of
man
,
but
only
by
the
free
grace
of
God
:
that
that
is
to
saye
,
by
the
most
blessed
passion
and
giltles
deathe
of
the
crucified
sonne
of
God
.
And
that
we
are
made
partakers
of
the
innocencie
and
merite
of
the
deathe
&
bloodshead
of
Christ
,
at
suche
tyme
,
as
we
doo
constauntly
and
faithfully
beleue
,
that
the
sonne
of
God
is
our
owne
:
and
that
he
suffred
that
bitter
deathe
for
our
synnes
,
to
make
vs
righteous
and
blessed
.
For
I
will
in
no
wise
contemne
(
or
recken
as
of
non
effecte
)
the
most
fauourable
free
grace
of
God
,
which
opened
it self
most
expressely
&
plainly
,
in
the
passion
&
deathe
of
Iesus
Christ
.
But
I
thinke
rather
verily
,
and
surely
beleue
and
confesse
,
that
we
should
openly
cast
away
,
and
compt
the
deathe
of
Christ
to
be
of
non
effecte
,
in
case
we
should
seke
or
thinke
to
be
clensed
,
saued
,
&
iustified
from
our
synnes
,
by
any
other
meanes
,
than
through
faithe
,
by
that
only
bloodshead
,
deathe
,
&
raunsom
of
Iesus
Christ
:
in
asmuche
as
we
heare
the
holy
Apostle
S.
Paule
saye
.
I
despise
not
the
grace
of
God
:
for
yf
righteousnesse
As
many
therfore
as
in
the
olde
lawe
,
from
our
furst
father
Adames
tyme
,
vnto
the
comming
of
Christ
,
were
blessed
and
iustified
,
I
beleue
verely
&
saye
,
that
they
were
made
blessed
,
holy
and
iustifyed
through
faithe
,
of
free
pardon
and
grace
,
by
none
other
,
but
by
Iesus
Christ
,
the
blessed
sede
alone
.
Touching
the
fyfthe
article
I
beleue
and
confesse
,
that
Iesus
Christe
And
the
clarificacion
dothe
not
consume
,
waste
,
nor
take
awaye
the
propreties
of
a
very
humaine
body
,
either
the
substaunce
or
facion
therof
:
but
only
despecheth
&
deliuereth
the
body
and
the
state
of
the
body
from
all
diseases
,
whether
they
be
corrupcions
or
infirmities
:
that
is
to
saye
,
from
feare
,
dreade
,
sorowe
,
heauynesse
,
from
all
carke
and
care
,
from
hate
,
from
carnall
loue
&
couetous
desires
:
from
false
Ioyes
and
griefes
,
from
affections
,
troubles
,
hongre
,
colde
,
heate
,
wearynesse
,
and
from
al
maner
of
infirmities
,
saintnes
&
smerte
,
and
specially
from
mortalitie
and
corruption
:
And
on
the
other
parte
,
it
maketh
the
body
and
the
facion
of
the
body
glorious
,
cleare
,
immortal
and
vncorruptible
.
Suche
a
maner
of
body
S.
Paules
wonted
phrase
is
to
call
a
glorious
&
a
spiritual
body
:
not
that
it
is
afterwarde
no
more
fleshe
,
nor
that
it
is
chaunged
and
turned
in
to
the
spirite
,
And
like
as
the
body
of
Christ
,
after
it
was
risen
vp
from
deathe
,
remayned
still
a
very
body
,
notwithstanding
it
was
become
after
the
resurrection
immortal
and
glorious
:
euen
so
shall
the
bodies
of
all
faithfull
folke
(
at
the
general
resurrection
)
be
made
like
vnto
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
wherof
I
shall
speake
more
largely
,
in
the
eleuenth
article
of
our
faithe
.
For
Christ
our
Lorde
(
by
his
glorious
resurreccion
from
the
dead
)
dothe
most
euidently
proue
and
declare
,
that
he
hathe
despeched
synne
quyte
out
of
the
waye
,
that
he
hathe
ouercome
deathe
,
which
cometh
by
the
occasion
of
synne
:
that
he
hathe
restored
life
,
that
he
hathe
conquered
hell
,
for
all
them
that
are
true

Christ
Iesus

of

It

he

It

the
offreth
vp
all
our

to
God

It

he
,
that
appeareth
continually
in
the
sight
of
God
,
prayeng
and
making
intercession
for
them
,
&
geueth
them

.
And
so
those
that
be
of
the
true
faithful
belief
in

,
wil
nother
seke
,
allowe
,
nor
receaue
any
other
mediatour
,

,

,
attournaye
,
or

,
but
Christ
alone
.
He
is
that
only
and
eternall
sacrifice
and
oblacion
,
which
being
ones
offred
for
all
,
endureth
for
euer
,
clenseth

and
sanctifieth
al
them
,
that
are
true

.
And
euen
he
,
this
selfe
same
high
Bishop
and
priest
of
ours
,
dothe
daily
(
with
his
spirite
&
worde
)
instructe
&
teache
his
churche
and
congregacion
,
&
geueth
them
trusty
and
syncere
vpright
men
,
to
be
their
teachers
and
ministers
,
whom
he
also
garnisheth
and
decketh
with
his

,
and
most
excellent
giftes
,
and
defendeth
from
al

Vpon
Goddes
right
hande
sitteth
Christ
our
most
roial
king
,
the
king
of
kinges
,
the
iudge
&
mightie
Lorde
of
heauen
&
earth
.
He
it
is
,
that
informeth
and
ordreth
his
churche
and
people
,
with
holsome
and
good
lawes
,
according
whervnto
they
frame
and
addresse
all
their
matters
,
to
the
loue
of
God
,
and
of
their
neighbour
.
This
king
of
ours
beholdeth
vs
faithfully
,
and
layeth
vp
all
our
griefes
and
sorowes
trustily
in
his
harte
.
He
is
content
with
good
will
to
heare
the
complaintes
,
sutes
and
desyres
of
all
his
faithfull
flocke
,
and
is
neuer
wearied
nor
grieued
with
the
tediousnesse
of
them
.
He
also
is
that
most
pleynteous
fountayne
,
which
alwaies
geueth
liberally
and
yet
neuer
wanteth
,
which
only
filleth
,
and
yet
is
neuer
the
lesse
,
nor
any
whitte
decreaceth
.
From
him
ther
can
nothing
at
all
(
no
not
so
muche
as
mennes
inwarde
thoughtes
)
be
hidden
or
kept
secrete
.
He
is
the
righteous
true
iudge
,
iudgeing
after
th
intent
and
purpose
of
the
harte
,
and
rendreth
aswell
to
the
good
as
to
the
badde
,
all
that
they
doo
,
without
all
respecte
of
persones
.
Those
that
be
oppressed
he
relieueth
,
with
his
ioyfull
and
comfortable
succour
:
But
as
for
them
that
are
stowte
,
arrogaunt
&
prowde
braggers
of
their
owne
powers
,
whan
he
seeth
his
iust
tyme
,
he
is
on
the
bones
of
them
strayght
waies
,
and
hurleth
them
downe
and
the
necke
before
.
Ther
is
no
maner
of
thing
,
but
he
hathe
a
respecte
and
a
consideracion
vnto
it
.
His
infinite
wisdome
in
euery
thing
and
euery
where
vseth
iuste
and
right
deserued
meanes
.
He
(
by
his
exceding
great
grace
)
sendeth
faithfull
,
trusty
and
good
men
to
be
gouernours
and
rulers
.
And
then
he
directeth
and
maynteneth
in
his
churche
.
And
contrary
wise
,
he
dothe
somtymes
take
awaye
good
gouernours
(
as
he
did
lately
our
most
christen
king
Edwarde
the
sixte
)
and
setteth
vp
naughti
and
wicked
persones
in
autoritie
now
and
than
(
as
bloody
bishoppes
,
proude
popishe
pestilent
priestes
,
&
vnnatural
merciles
forayners
)
to
reigne
,
&
rule
the
rost
,
to
punyshe
hipocrites
countrefaicte
gospellers
,
and
worldlinges
withall
.
To
be
shorte
,
Christ
dothe
at
all
tymes
defende
and
kepe
those
that
his
be
,
from
their
enemies
and
foes
,
bothe
visible
and
inuisible
.
After
this
sorte
Christ
sitteth
on
the
right
hande
of
God
,
and
thus
is
he
the
only
head
of
his
faithfull
beleuing
people
,
the
only
&
most
high
bishop
,
the
most
roial
&
euerlasting
kyng
and
prince
of
them
that
be
his
.
He
is
neuer
out
of
their
congregacion
and
company
,
he
is
alwaies
occupied
in
the
myddes
of
them
,
so
that
he
nedeth
nother
the
seruice
,
aide
,
nor
assistence
of
any
vicegerent
or
helpe
felowe
.
For
he
is
the
only
and
euerlasting
sunne
of
righteousnesse
,
whiche
altough
(
as
concerning
his
humayne
corporal
presence
)
he
be
in
one
only
place
in
heauen
,
yet
he
doth
worke
sensiblie
&
frutefully
,
with
his
vertue
,
light
,
glorie
,
nourishement
and
power
,
in
al
them
that
be
faithfull
.
In
consideracion
hereof
,
I
admonishe
,
&
in
Goddes
behalfe
require
you
(
as
I
haue
,
according
to
mi
litel

alwaies
taught
my

and
in

places

wher

aswell
to

and
without

to
call
vpon
God
,
through
Iesus
Christ
,
and
alwayes
faithfully
to
set
furthe

according
to
the

as
also
to

that

Iesus

preiudice

Concerning
the
seuenth
Article
,
I
beleue
and
confesse
,
that
the
state
For
at
suche
tyme
as
the
most
parte
of
this
worlde
shall
layne
and
holde
with
the
power
of
Antichrist
,
flyrting
of

in
most
horrible
contempt

and
walowing
themselfes
in

of
sinne

and
shal
deuise
and
set
their
myndes
vpon
mocking

persecuting
of
them
that

true

beleuers
:
than
shall
Christ
at
a
sodain
cheoppe
(
as
it
were
lightenyng
from
heauen
)
com
in
the
clowdes
with
his
holy
angelles
vnto
iudgement
.
And
the
same
houre
,
as
many
as
haue
died
from
the
begynnyng
of
the
worlde
vnto
the
last
ende
of
the
worlde
,
shall
by
the
might

power
of
Christ
,
rise
strayghtwaye
again

&
the
other

are
not

departed

but
haue

shall
in

of
an

,
be
chaunged
from
mortalitie

,
in

immortalitie
and
vncorrupcion
.
And
after
that
,
all
men

be
restored

Matth.

Than
shall
euery
one
receaue
according
to
their
workes
.
Than
as
Christes
body
was
at
his
ascension
taken
vp
from
the
mount
Oliuete
,
so
shal
they
that
be
faithfull
,
by
the
might
and
power
of
God
,
be
taken
from
this
earthe
,
bothe
body
and
soule
,
and
caried
vp
in
to
the
clowdes
vnto
Christ
our
Lorde
.
Him
they
shall
folowe
,
and
with
him
shall
they
dwell
in
euerlasting
ioye
,
for
euermore
continually
to
abyde
.
And
those
that
be
vnfaithfull
&
wicked
shal
be
deliuered
to
the
deuil
(
whose
championes
and
householde
seruauntes
they
were
)
to
fele
and
abyde
(
both
body
&
soule
)
suche
paynes
,
sorowes
and
tormentes
,
as
no
tongue
can
expresse
,
for
euer
to
endure
worlde
without
ende
.
In
this
behalfe
I
haue
alwaies
besought
my
parisheners
&
hearers
(
&
so
now
I
require
them
eftesones
to
the
same
)
to
set
euer
before
their
eies
,
&
diligently
to
print
in
their
myndes
,
that
last
iudgement
of
God
:
and
with
earnest
repentaunce
of
their
former
filthy
life
,
to
geue
themselues
vnto
christen
charitie
&
good
workes
.
For
like
as
the
holy
scripture
dothe
clearely
and
euidently
shewe
,
that
we
are
not
made
righteous
,
blessed
and
holy
,
by
our
owne
merites
and
good
workes
,
but
by
the
only
grace
of
Christ
through
faithe
,
so
that
all
glorie
and
honour
must
be
manifestly
and
plainly
ascribed
and
geuen
to
the
only
fre
grace
and
pardon
of
God
,
and
to
the
redemption
of
Iesus
Christ
his
sonne
:
euen
so
haue
I
euer
taught
,
and
now
(
by
the
waraunt
of
Goddes
most
holy
worde
)
confesse
and
constauntly
affirme
,
that
this
doctrine
of
faithe
is
vnauaileable
and
of
non
effecte
to
impenitent
hooremongers
,
bawdes
,
gluttones
,
dronkerdes
,
oppressours
,
brivers
,
Idolaters
,
men
pleasers
,
epicures
,
and
other
wicked
vnfaithful
persones
.
And
that
this
lyuely
iustifieng
faithe
is
the
worker
of
all
maner
of
good
workes
(
what
so
euer
they
be
)
according
to
the
worde
of
God
.
For
he
that
is
iustified
and
made
righteous
(
as
faithe
only
iustifieth
and
maketh
righteous
)
doth
liue
also
iustly
and
righteously
:
and
iustly
and
righteously
doth
al
thinges
.
And
he
that
dothe
faithfully
beleue
the
worde
of
God
,
dothe
without
al
doubt
perceaue
and
knowe
,
that
to
be
good
which
God
commaundeth
,
and
that
to
be
euil
,
what
so
euer
he
forbiddeth
.
Yea
it
is
the
very
wonted
maner
of
faithe
it selfe
,
to
moue
and
enforce
the
iustified
man
to
eschue
that
is
euil
,
&
folowe
that
is
good
and
right
.
Moreouer
he
that
perfitly
&
throughly
by
faithe
vnderstandeth
the
mater
of
mannes
saluacion
and
redempcion
,
bothe
doubtles
loue
bothe
God
.
&
his
neighbour
.
And
loue
is
the
perfite
fulfilling
of
the
lawe
:
yea
in
the
loue
of
God
and
a
mannes
neighbour
hengeth
al
the
hole
lawe
&
the
prophetes
.
These
maner
of
workes
which
be
the
frutes
of
the
spirite
,
faith
and
charitie
,
and
that
we
should
fall
to
amendement
of
our
life
,
and
what
so
euer
the
worde
of
God
dothe
furthermore
commende
vnto
vs
,
like
as
all
faithfull
preachers
and
Ministers
doo
diligently
teache
and
set
furthe
vnto
the
people
:
euen
so
they
abhorre
&
reiecte
all
suche
workes
,
as
folkes
are
vsed
to
fantasie
and
deuise
of
their
owne
braynes
,
deuocion
,
or
good
intentes
,
contrary
or
without
the
sure
warraunt
of
Goddes
worde
,
how
vertuous
or
how
holy
so
euer
they
be
estemed
,
or
how
long
so
euer
they
haue
ben
accustomed
and
vsed
.
For
as
saint
Augustin

,
Whan
the
truth
is
manifestly

shewed
,
custom
ought
to
geue
place
vnto
the
truthe
.
And
moreouer
he
allegeth
:
Let
no
man
preferre
custom
before
reason
&
truthe
,
for
reason
&
truthe
do
alwaies
shutte
custom
out
of
the
dores
.
And
the
holy
martir
S.
Ciprian
saith
also
:
we
ought
not
to
passe
what
our
elders
and
fathers
that
were
before
vs
did
,
but
muche
rather
what
Christ
(
which
was
before
all
men
)
commaundeth
vs
to
doo
.
This
also
doo
all
godly
preachers
&
ministres
warne
the
people
of
:
that
no
man
that
walketh
in
the
commaundementes
of
God
,
and
is
riche
in
good
workes
in
dede
,
set
his
workes
in
Christes
place
,
nor
put
any
as●●aunce
,
confidence
,
or
trust
in
them
,
as
though
he
were
made
righteous
,
holy
and
acceptable
vnto
God
for
his
workes
sake
.
For
it
is
the
only
deathe
of
Christ
,
and
free
grace
and
pardon
of
God
,
that
maketh
a
man
acceptable
vnto
God
,
and
fitte
vnto
all
good
workes
:
yea
to
speake
truly
and
plainly
,
All
the
good
workes
that
true
faithfull
people
doo
,
are
nothing
elles
,
but
a
certain

almighty

But
as
for
the
vnbeleuers
,
and
suche
as
persiste
stil
in
their
vnbelefe
and
impenitent
wickednesse
,
it
is
not
possible
for
them
,
euer
to
haue
true
perfaicte
forgeuenesse
of
their
sinnes
.
And
I
doo
confesse
,
that
al
synnes
are
not
alike
,
nor
after
all
one
condicion
,
but
that
som
synnes
are
greater
than
some
,
&
some
sines
more
greuous
than
some
:
as
their
maner
is
to
tende
against
the
glorie
and
loue
of
God
,
against
faithe
,
and
the
loue
of
a
mannes
neighbour
,
some
more
than
som
,
some
lesse
than
some
.
I
saie
moreouer
,
that
what
so
euer
is
comitted
against
the
lawe
of
God
,
that
is
to
saye
,
contrary
to
the
will
and
worde
of
God
,
that
same
is
sinne
.
Wherfore
no
faithfull
preacher
or
ministre
dothe
make
God
the
author
of
synne
,
but
we
declare
,
that
the
original
poison
of
synne
beganne
in
the
apostata
of
God
,
and
the
common
aduersarie
of
mankynde
,
and
in
mannes
owne
corrupt
will
.
Howbeit
we
deme
not
,
but
that
god
thorough
his
infinite
wisdom
,
ordreth
and
disposeth
mennes
synnes
to
his
glorie
&
welth
of
his
chosen
.
And
wher
I
haue
learned
in
the
holy
scriptures
,
that
the
remission
and
forgeuenesse
of
synnes
is
nother
borowed
nor
bought
for
any
money
,
or
for
any
other
ware
or
corruptible
thing
:
And
seing
S.
Petre
did
(
in
Symon
Magus
)
bitterly
curse
and
crye
out
vpon
all
them
(
and
their
money
bothe
)
which
thinke
,
that
the
giftes
of
God
maye
be
bought
out
for
money
:
Albeit
I
sawe
no
great
occasion
(
during
all
the
tyme
of
my
ministerie
)
to
speake
muche
against
pelting
Romishe
pardones
and
pilgrimage
gates
,
for
the
people
did
abhorre
them
almost
of
their
owne
accorde
:
yet
bicause
the
horrible
supersticion
of
the
popes
poticary
ware
(
which
the
idolatreus
priestes
vsed
afore
tyme
,
and
now
set
freshely
a
sale
again
,
in
stede
of
holsome
medicine
to
the
soule
,
and
al
for
money
)
is
through
false
persuasions
of
couetous
lyeng
hipocrite
priestes
,
through
goodly
gaye
shewes
&
long
continuaunce
,
cankred
depe
into
many
peoples
consciences
,
especially
of
olde
folkes
&
supsticious
wilful
women
:
I
declared
vnto
my
parisheners
and
neighbours
(
as
place
&
occasion
of
mater
serued
)
that
the
coniured
water
,
salt
,
palmes
,
ashes
,
ymages
,
candles
,
masses
,
diriges
,
and
such
other
like
,
being
raised
and
set
vp
without
&
contrary
to
the
worde
of
god
,
only
of
couetousnesse
,
&
for
filthy
lucres
sake
,
to
occupie
the
rowme
,
&
to
claime
the
merite
,
honour
,
&
vertue
of
Christes
death
&
bloodshead
,
were
not
only
vayne
&
vnprofitable
dumme
ceremonies
,
but
also
most
haynous
and
damnable
supersticion
.
And
in
consideracion
therof
I
besought
them
(
&
so
I
doo
still
)
in
the
bowels
of
Iesus
Christ
,
&
as
they
wil
auoyde
the
peril
of
their
owne
damnacion
,
not
only
to
put
no
confidence
,
trust
,
nor
affiaunce
in
any
of
them
,
but
also
to
flee
from
them
,
&
abhorre
them
as
the
most
present
pikepurce
&
pestilent
poison
of
the
soule
:
And
namely
that
priuate
popishe
masse
,
wherin
forasmuche
as
the
creature
is
worshipped
in
the
stede
of
the
creatour
,
the
idole
of
bread
is
caried
about
,
reserued
&
hanged
vp
to
be
gased
at
&
worshipped
in
the
stede
of
Christ
:
the
priest
eateth
&
drinketh
alone
:
the
one
halfe
of
the
sacrament
is
nypped
awaye
front
the
laye
people
:
their
is
no
publike
thankes
geuen
of
the
priest
&
the
people
for
Christes
passion
.
Finally
Christes
most
sacred
institucion
is
altred
,
defiled
,
&
quyte
turned
vpside
downe
:
And
seing
furthermore
,
that
the
Masse
is
demed
and
vsed
as
a
sacrifice
propiciatorye
:
that
is
to
wete
,
to
purchace
and
geue
remission
of
sinnes
bothe
to
the
quicke
and
dead
,
which
is
the
only
office
,
worke
,
and
merite
of
the
one
only
sacrifice
ones
offred
for
all
,
whan
the
body
of
Christ
was
broken
,
and
his
precious
blood
sheadde
vpon
the
aultare
of
the
crosse
,
for
the
forgeuenesse
of
the
synnes
of
al
mankynde
:
Therfore
I
affirme
and
constauntly
confesse
,
that
the
same
apishe
paynted
Masse
is
not
only
vnprofitable
and
vneffectual
to
purchace
or
geue
remission
of
synnes
either
for
the
quicke
or
for
the
dead
,
but
that
it
is
also
the
damnablest
idolatrie
,
and
supersticion
(
as
ye
maye
see
by
the
causes
rehearsed
)
the
most
detestable
defiling
of
the
Lordes
most
sacred
supper
,
the
most
cursed
doctrine
:
the
most
horrible
heresie
,
&
the
bawdiest
spiritual
hooredome
that
euer
sathan
inuented
to
breake
faithe
,
loue
,
&
knotte
of
mariage
betwene
Christ
the
husbande
,
and
his

the
christen
flocke
:
the
greatest
preiudice
to
the
honour
and
dignitie
of
Christes
crosse
&
passion
,
the
maintenaunce
and
chief
keye
of

,
the

chief

sayeth

Quid

what
is
more
like
a

,
than
the
worshipping
of

?
What
cuckoldrye
that
cursed
Masse
causeth
,
what
fornicacion
it
enticeth
,
what
careles
life
it
occasioneth
,
what
idlenesse
and
mischief
it
mainteneth
,
what
vngeaūce
of
God
it
prouoketh
,
it
were
to
long
to
make
rehearsal
at
this
present
,
yea
it
cannot
possibly
be
exprest
with
tongue
or
penne
.
Therfore
assure
your selfe
,
that
like
as
if
a
man
thrust
his
body
and
his
clothes
in
to
a
fornace
of
hotte
scalding
pitche
,
he
shall
marre
his
clothes
,
and
put
his
body
in
peril
of
destruccion
:
euen
so
he
that
thrusteth
him self
in
to
the
presence
,
worshipping
or
hearing
of
the
masse
,
and
other
popishe
supersticiones
,
marreth
his
new
garment
Iesus
Christ
,
as
muche
as
in
him
lyeth
,
and
putteth
him self
bothe
body
and
soule
in
perile
of
perpetual
damnacion
.
And
as
euery
honest
harted
husbande
wolde
not
only
be
ashamed
of
his
wife
,
but
also
(
onles
she
repented
)
put
her
out
of
his
companye
for
euer
,
if
she
were
bothe
an
harlot
of
her
lyuing
,
and
a
common
bawde
,
to
stande
by
whan
her
neighbours
wyues
were
defiled
also
:
euen
so
our
saueour
Christ
being
the
head
and
the
husbande
of
all
the
hole
christen
congregacion
,
is
ashamed
,
offended
,
dishonoured
and
angred
,
whan
any
man
or
woman
kepeth
company
with
that
hooremonging
masse
,
or
standeth
by
,
〈◊〉
in
presence
whan
other
christen
people
are
defiled
with
it
.
If
a
gelous
husbande
can
not
abide
to
haue
his
wife
to
be
kissing
&
familiar
with
other
men
:
Remember
that
the
almightie
strong
gelous
Lorde
God
can
not
abyde
to
see
his
wyfe
the
christen
flocke
,
to
commit
hooredom
before
his
face
with
Antichrist
in
the
mischeuous
masse
.
Awaye
,
awaye
(
sayeth
the
prophet
)
get
Take
hede
therfore
in
tyme
.
For
though
God
of
his
merciful
benignitie
did
beare
with
vs
in
the
tyme
of
ignoraunce
,
yet
we
maye
not
loke
,
that
he
wil
do
so
nowe
in
the
tyme
of
stubburne
wilfulnesse
,
seyng
the
light
of
his
glorious
gospel
is
spread
openly
before
al
our
eyes
,
so
that
no
pretense
nor
excuse
in
that
behalfe
wil
be
pleadable
at
the
barre
,
before
our
most
iuste
iudge
and
gelous
husbande
Iesus
Christ
.
I
knowe
wel
ynough
,
it
is
as
hard
a
case
as
Susannes
case
was
.
But
forasmuche
as
it
is
a
mater
(
in
myne
opinion
)
bothe
vndisputable
and
vndispensable
,
our
best
sauegarde
is
to
resigne
our
owne
carnall
reasons
,
&
committe
al
to
the
prouidence
of
God
,
sayeng
with
Susanna
:
It
is
better
for
me
to
fall
into
the
handes
of
men
without
the
dede
doing
,
than
to
transgresse
the
lawe
of
the
Lorde
my
God
.
In
she
(
wil
some
saye
)
God
is
merciful
.
It
is
true
.
His
mercie
is
on
them
that
feare
him
,
throughout
al
generacions
.
But
wittingly
and
willingly
to
heape
synne
vpon
synne
,
in
hope
of
goddes
mercy
,
is
most
shamelesly
to
abuse
the
goodnes
of
God
,
and
stampe
vnder
foote
the
graces
of
his
spirite
,
&
according
to
the
hardnesse
of
the
hart
that
can
not
repent
,
to
laye
wrathe
together
in

against
the
daye
of

,
at
the
open

of
the
iust

which
shall
rendre

I
say
not

to
dryue
myne
olde

countrey
men
in
to
desperacion
,
for

Lo
,
my
good
brothren
and
louing
frendes
,
This
is
my
belief
,
this
is
my
faithe
,
this
is
the
pith
and
summe
of
the
chief
&
most
maters
that
I
euer
taught
among
my
parisheners
and
neighbours
,
during
the
tyme
of
my
ministerie
.
And
I
am
sure
that
this
is
no
new fangled
nor
erroneous
doctrine
,
neither
any
kinde
of
heresie
,
but
the
most
vndoubted
true
,
&
the
very
catholike
christen
faithe
,
and
the
most
auncient
and
substauntical
learning
and
doctrine
,
beleued
and
preached
by
the
prophetes
and
apostles
,
as
they
receaued
&
learned
it
,
of
the
Lorde
God
him selfe
.
And
although
tyrannes
and
papistes
with
other
phantastical
spirites
of
errour
,
do
conspire
,
conuent
,
murther
,
emprison
,
racke
,
&
rage
neuer
so
craftily
,
neuer
so
maliciously
,
neuer
so
slaunderously
,
and
neuer
so
furiously
against
the
preachers
and
ministers
of
this
faithe
,
yet
the
deuil
him self
and
the
gates
of
hell
shall
neuer
preuaile
against
it
.
Therfore
seing
it
hathe
pleased
our
most
mercifull
God
to
geue
vnto
me
(
most
vnworthy
wretche
)
his
gracious
light
of
this
faithe
,
and
particular
charge
in
this
ministerie
:
Considering
also
,
that
Iesus
Christ
wolde
not
,
that
the
candelles
appointed
to
serue
his
householde
with
their
light
,
shoulde
be
shoued
vnder
a
bushell
,
but
be
set
openly
vpon
a
candlesticke
,
to
geue
light
to
all
them
,
that
be
in
the
house
:
I
thought
it
my
duetie
in
conscience
,
to
put
you
in
remembraunce
of
the
true
christen
catholike
faithe
,
nowe
in
these
daungerous
dayes
of
persecucion
by
writyng
,
which
I
ministred
vnto
you
in
open
doctrine
,
to
the
comforte
and
saluacion
of
so
many
as
contynue
stedfast
beleuers
and
obedient
folowers
of
the
same
.
At
that
tyme
the
hooded
chaplaines
of
Antichrist
,
not
only
wolde
not
speake
ones
against
my
doctrine
,
either
in
Lichefelde
,
Couentrie
or
elles
where
,
but
also
allowed
it
,
commended
it
,
thanked
god
(
in
wordes
at
least
)
for
it
.
And
som
offred
me
for
my
paynes
money
and
large
rewardes
,
which
I
thanke
God
,
I
haue
kept
my
handes
cleane
from
,
yet
hitherto
,
as
I
reporte
me
to
their
owne
consciences
.
At
that
tyme
they
confessed
themselues
throughly
persuaded
&
manifestly
conuicte
by
the
only
streynght
&
power
of
Goddes
open
worde
,
without
further
constraint
.
And
so
were
they
chearished
,
and
louingly
vsed
,
&
intreated
with
all
lenitie
and
gentilnesse
,
not
susteining
the
losse
of
one
halpeny
of
their
lyuinges
,
nor
trouble
of
their
bodies
,
for
any
poynt
of
religion
.
But
what
charitie
&
gentilnesse
is
shewed
now
a
daies
vnto
suche
poore
ministres
as
be
in
my
case
,
&
with
what
face
&
streinght
of
shameles
lyes
&
merciles
tyranny
they
defend
their
popishe
pedlarie
&
drowsie
dregges
of
Antichristes
alelomes
,
God
knoweth
,
vnto
whom
I
committe
both
my selfe
&
the
truth
of
my
doctrine
:
which
neuertheles
is
not
mi
doctrine
,
but
the
doctrine
of
al
the
true
catholike
christen
churche
,
which
I
haue
(
by
goddes
pleynteous
mercie
)
sucked
out
of
her
spiritual
pappes
by
faithe
,
wherby
God
hathe
made
me
hable
now
,
thus
to
vttre
and
speake
.
To
be
shorte
at
a
worde
,
I
proteste
&
constauntly
affirme
in
the
sight
of
almighty
God
,
the
knoweth
that
thoughtes
of
all
Seing
also
that
the
true
preachers
of
Christes
gospell
(
among
whom
God
of
his
mercie
appointed
me
to
be
one
)
are
a
good
sauour
vnto
God
,
bothe
in
them
that
are
saued
and
in
them
that

:
in
them
that

the

Geue

rather

and

that

more

to

and
in
their

.
Their
finall
damnacion
is
surely
at

.
At
that

they
shall
knowe
,
that
it
had
ben
better

to

that

to

Neuertheles
I
wishe
them
repentaunce
euen
from
the
very
botom
of
my
hearte
.
Nether
doo
I
speake
this
vpon
any
displeature
or
vncharitable
affeccion
conceaued
agaynst
any
mannes
person
or
worldly
quietnes
,
but
only
that
it
greueth
the
very
harte
roote
of
me
,
to
see
the
institucion
of
God
so
horribly
dishonoured
,
the
honourable
state
of
mariage
so
shamefully
slaundred
,
the
congregacion
of
Christ
so
greuously
offended
,
the
abominacion
of
Antichrist
so
beastly
obeyed
,
and
the
holy
goost
so
desperately
blasphemed
.
Alas
,
why
doo
they
not
considre
,
how
haynons
a
synne
it
is
,
to
geue
such
an
occasion
of
slaundre
&
ruine
to
the
church
of
God
,
&
how
smal
a
gayne
it
is
to
wynne
a
smal
pelting
promocion
of
worldy
liuing
for
a
shorte
space
,
&
to
cast
awaie
the
price
of
Christes
precious
blood
,
in
vtterly
dānyng
their
owne
soules
,
&
bequeathing
themselues
to
the
deuil
for
euer
more
.
For
if
Baalams
mortal
blynde
asse
rebuked
that
blynde
ꝓphetes
folye
,
muche
more
shal
the
immortal
worme
of
these
Asses
(
nay
Iudases
)
consciences
rebuke
&
accuse
them
of
their
blasphemie
&
shameful
slydig
from
the
truthe
,
at
suche
tyme
as
being
past
repentaunce
,
they
shall
curse
the
daye
,
that
they
were
borne
in
,
&
the
very
howre
wherin
they
were
begotten
.
These
men
be
of
that
company
,
vnto
whom
the
holy
goost
biddeth
vs
not
to
saye
so
muche
,
as
God
spede
:
nether
to
eate
nor
drinke
with
them
.
Finally
good
brethren
,
be
not
partakers
The
body
go
the
not
to
Masse
with
out
the
company
and
consent
of
the
soule
.
And
therfore
it
must
nedes
be
graunted
,
that
the
soule
is
caryed
with
the
body
to
serue
the
deuil
at
Masse
,
&
not
the
body
caried
awaye
by
the
soule
from
that
most
stinking
idolatrie
and
supersticion
,
to
the
pure
seruice
of
God
.
Bicause
Christ
died
for
th
eternal
saluacion
aswel
of
the
body
as
of
the
soule
,
the
holy
goost
commaundeth
vs
also
,
to
beare
and
glorifie
God
in
our
bodyes
,
and
that
euery
one
should
possesse
Saint
Iames
saithe
,
that
a
double
mynded
man
is
inconstaunt
in
al
his
waies
,
and
maye
not
loke
to
obteyne
any
thing
of
the
Lorde
,
wher
so
euer
he
praieth
:
muche
lesse
wil
God
graunt
his
peticiones
,
which
he
makteh
in
that
temple
,
wher
God
by
the
same
peticion
makers
presence
is
dishonoured
,
and
the
congregacion
(
which
is
the
right
temple
of
Christ
in
dede
)
is
defiled
.
The
scriptures
teache
vs
,
that
at
the
great
iudgement
,
euery
one
shall
receaue
according
to
the
dedes
that
are
done
by
the
bodie
.
And
at
the
general
resurreccion
,
the
body
and
the
soule
shal
be
ioyned
together
,
perpetually
to
abide
either
ioye
or
sorowe
:
so
that
the
bodye
must
nedes
goo
to
hell
for
defiling
it self
with
the
abominable
Masse
and
other
popery
:
And
the
soule
can
not
chose
,
but
goo
with
the
body
,
and
take
suche
parte
as
the
body
dothe
.
For
God
wil
not
parte
stakes
with
the
deuill
.
Therfore
it
is
but
a
vayne
pretense
and
a
very
mocking
of
God
,
to
saye
,
that
the
harte
and
soule
serueth
God
,
seing
the
body
ioyned
with
the
soule
serueth
the
deuil
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
.
So
it
semeth
manifest
,
that
suche
gospellers
,
as
be
masse
hearers
,
are
not
spiritual
gospell
folowers
,
but
carnall
gospell
slaunderours
,
and
walke
after
the
fleshe
:
vpon
whome
the
holy
Goost
geueth
sharpe
sentence
,
sayng
:
Yf
ye
lyue
after
the
fleshe
,
you
shall
dye
.
Considre
brothren
,
that
we
are
now
after
our
syncere
gospelling
,
ledde
of
the
holy
goost
in
to
wildernesse
(
as
Christ
was
after
his
baptisme
)
to
be
tempted
of
the
deuil
.
Therfore
we
must
either
take
the
deuilles
counsail
,
and
so
distrusting
the
might
&
mercifull
prouidence
of
God
,
make
stones
,
stockes
,
and
idolatrous

throwe
our selues

in

Or

daungier
of
batail
is
at
hande
,
and
while
ther
is
peace
,
&
take
all
one
parte
.
And
so
in
blessed
king
Edwardes
daies
,
euery
wan
(
almost
)
pretended
frendeship
&
forewardenesse
to
the
doctrine
of
the
gospell
,
and
englishe
churche
seruice
,
seing
the
Magistrates
&
multitude
layne
to
that
syde
:
some
of
conscience
,
som
of
flattery
,
but
the
most
men
for
the
commodious
gayne
that
they
founde
by
churche
landes
&
goodes
,
not
mynding
to
amende
their
lyues
towardes
God
by
the
gospel
,
but
vnder
colour
therof
to
augment
their
lyuinges
and
pelfe
in
this
worlde
.
But
like
as
if
a
souldiour
runne
from
the
armye
of
his
souerayne
liege
Lord
to
the
enemies
side
(
although
he
saye
,
his
harte
was
with
his
soueraine
stil
,
and
that
he
ranne
awaye
only
for
feare
)
must
nedes
be
demed
a
traitour
,
a
cowhearde
,
and
rennagate
:
euen
so
shal
euery
one
that
professeth
the
name
and
religion
of
Christ
,
to
be
one
of
his
souldiours
(
for
our
life
is
a
very
warfare
vpon
earthe
)
be
demed
and
conuicte
of
highe
treason
against
his
most
natural
souerayne
liege
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
king
of
all
kinges
,
which
in
tyme
of
his
spirituall
warres
for
the
gospelles
sake
,
renneth
awaye
from
his
standarde
and
garison
in
to
the
deuilles
campe
,
to
take
parte
with
popishe
massemongers
,
the
most
deadly
foes
of
Christes
gospell
and
bloodshead
.
Now
is
the
fielde
pitched
,
now
our
enemies
bende
their
ordinaunce
against
vs
face
to
face
,
now
they
see
the
campe
of
gospellers
weakened
and
lye
open
vnto
their
municiones
.
They
see
som
fall
to
their
side
,
som
speake
faire
,
som
dissemble
,
and
fewe
are
glad
to
abide
the
bickering
,
&
that
maketh
the
cruell
papistes
to
make
so
thicke
Larūmes
,
and
to
com
on
so
lustily
with
their
hotte
skyrmishes
on
euery
side
against
Christ
our
captain
&
al
his
armye
roial
Howbeit
seing
Christ
hathe
the
victorie
,
and
shall
make
al
his
enemies
his
foote
stole
:
and
seing
also
he
promiseth
patentes
of
so
large
honourable
fee
&
wages
to
such
his
souldiours
,
as
by
pacient
suffring
of
persecucions
stande
manfully
to
his
standarde
,
and
abyde
the
ende
of
the
fraye
:
as
he
by
his
heraulde
of
armes
,
th
apostle
Paule
maketh
open
proclamacion
in
his
coate
armour
,
sayeng
:
Yf
we
dye
with
Christ
here
,
we
shall
lyue
with
him
And
on
the
contrary
parte
,
forasmuche
as
the
same
proclamacion
declareth
the
payne
of
suche
of
vs
,
as
renne
away
from
Christes
ensigne
or
standarde
,
sayeng
:
Yf
we
denye
or
forsake
him
,
he
wil
also
denye
&
forsake
vs
.
And
whan
the
general
mustre
and
paye
daye
cometh
(
wher
the
constaunt
souldiours
shal
be
crowned
with
glorie
and
honour
in
the
eternal
heauenly
kingdom
)
Christ
the
captain
and
iudge
shal
saye
vnto
suche
shrinking
traytours
and
cowheardly
rennagates
:
Auaunt
you
workers
of
wickednesse
I
knowe
yow
not
.
Get
you
hence
you
cursed
in
to
euerlasting
fyre
,
which
is
prepared
for
the
deuil
and
his
angelles
.
I
thinke
therfore
it
is
necessary
good
and
very
highe
tyme
for
vs
,
to
arme
our selues
cappe
a
pee
(
as
the

Heraulde
of

Paule
commaundeth
vs
in

Iesus
name
,
Ephe.

)
and
for
our
owne
sauegarde
&
vauntage
to
kepe
batail
raye
through
persecucions
,
troubles
,
rebukes
and
slaunders
of
the

,
and
folowe

standarde
of

bloody
crosse
lustyly

and
to
bestere

,
in

our

,
especially
hauing
before
our

the
fore
rennyng
example
and
viewe
,
not
only
of
all
the
martirs
and
confessours
that
haue
ben
souldiours
of
the

bande
,
and
skyrmished
in
their
owne
blood
from
the
dayes
of
Abel
vnto
these
daies
:
but
also
the
present
constaunt
courage
of
the
most
faithfull
souldiours
of

in

of

and
willingly
haue
sheadde
their

for

of
their

,
I
meane
for

defense
of

inuincible

:
as
well
to
the
great
comforte
and
encorageing
of
the

of

,
as
to
the
confusion
and

of

thirstie

and

kyndome
,
for
all
their

bragges
and

rusting
.
Neuerthelesse
how
faynt
and
how
weake
a
souldiour
I
my self
haue
been
in
this
behalfe
,
myne
owne
experience
(
at
my
furst
entrie
in
to
the
gospel
)
taught
me
.x.
or
.xi.
yeares
agoo
.
By
reason
wherof
being
afrayed
of
mine
owne
weakenesse
,
&
partly
being
enforced
from
my
vicarage
by
malicious
force
&
rage
of
some
vnthankeful
people
,
ꝑtly
bycause
I
was
laid
wayte
for
by
writtes
,
processes
,
and
cruell
threateninges
of
D.
Ermestede
&
certain
other
traiterous
harted
papistes
(
which
recanted
their
errours
&
popery
in
the
kinges
visitacion
)
but
chiefly
being
loth
to
fal
in
to
myne
enemies
handes
,
for
feare
of
blasphemyng
the
truthe
,
by
reason
of
myne
owne
synful
weakenesse
,
or
rigorous
enprisonment
,
I
departed
from
my
vicarage
somwhat
before
extreme
trouble
came
.
And
albeit
I
did
confirme
this
doctrine
of
faithe
in
sondry
sermones
within
my
parishe
,
in
that
rude
rageing
tempest
,
&
offred
to
haue
done
the
like
in
other
great
parishes
ther
about
,
where
they
durst
not
receaue
me
:
yet
myne
owne
conscience
accuseth
me
,
for
that
I
taried
not
ther
still
to
the
vttermost
.
And
therfore
if
that
haue
ben
any
occasion
of
offence
or
stombling
blocke
to
any
of
Christes
congregacion
(
as
I
trust
it
hathe
not
)
I
most
hartily
heseche
them
to
forgeue
me
that
weake
wickednesse
and
wicked
weakenesse
.
And
like
as
it
hathe
pleased
God
of
his
merciful
goodnesse
to
holde
me
still
in
the
confession
of
the
same
vnfailing
truthe
,
that
I
taught
priuately
&
openly
in
those
parties
,
during
the
tyme
of
my
ministerie
:
euen
so
I
trust
he
will
graunt
me
the
continuaunce
of
this
faithe
vnto
the
ende
(
the
rather
at
the
contemplacion
of
your
good
hartie
prayers
)
&
grace
to
seke
only
his
glorie
to
the
comforte
of
his
poore
afflicted
flocke
,
with
that
litel
talent
that
he
hathe
lent
me
.
And
if
it
be
his
godly
pleasure
to
cast
me
in
to
his
enemies
handes
,
I
trust
he
will
also
geue
me
will
and
streynght
manfully
and
ioyfully
to
geue
my
life
for
the
confirmacion
of
this
my
faithe
.
Now
for
a
farewell
,
I
beseche
you
also
good
brothren
,
praye
(
after
your
wonted
maner
