FYRST
,
Wheras
I
spekyng
in
my
booke
of
Traditions
,
of
the
autorite
of
Bysshoppes
in
makyng
lawes
and
ordenances
,
whyche
the
people
ought
to
obey
,
I
dyd
say
&
teache
in
this
wyse
:
That
men
ought
to
obey
the
Bysshoppes
commaundement
in
all
thynges
leaful
,
vpon
payne
of
euerlastyng
damnacyon
.
And
that
these
wordes
of
Mathew
:
Doo
as
they
byd
you
,
but
not
as
they
doo
,
be
vnderstand
not
only
of
thinges
conteined
in
Scripture
,
but
also
of
the
Churches
ordenaunces
besydes
Scripture
made
by
the
Ministers
of
the
Churche
,
although
the
said
Ministers
do
abuse
their
auctorite
for
their
owne
be
nefite
and
profite
.
And
further
,
where
I
taught
that
it
is
more
conuenient
that
the
people
obey
their
Bisshops
commaundementes
&
Decrees
although
it
be
but
in
a
thinge
indifferent
of
it selfe
and
not
commaunded
by
God
,
then
that
seruauntes
shuld
obey
their
maisters
,
or
children
their
fathers
and
mothers
.
And
finally
,
where
I
sayd
concernyng
the
same
matter
:
That
as
subiectes
be
bounde
to
obey
and
fulfyll
their
Princes
Lawes
,
which
ar
not
conteyned
in
Gods
Lawes
beyng
not
agaynst
it
,
euen
so
be
Christen
people
bounde
too
obey
&
doo
that
which
their
Bisshops
byddeth
them
doo
.
All
these
sayinges
I
doo
now
Reuoke
,
Disanull
and
Condempne
as
erronious
and
false
.
And
do
professe
and
acknowledge
fyrst
that
the
auctorite
aswell
of
the
Bysshop
of
Rome
,
whose
auctorite
is
iustly
and
lawfully
abolyshed
in
this
Realme
as
of
other
Bisshops
&
other
called
the
ministers
of
the
church
,
consisteth
in
the
dispensacion
and
ministration
of
Gods
woorde
,
&
not
in
makyng
Lawes
,
Ordinaunces
and
Decrees
ouer
the
people
besyde
Gods
word
without
the
consent
and
auctoritie
of
the
Prince
and
people
.
¶
Secondly
,
I
say
&
affirme
that
no
Bysshop
nor
none
of
the
Clergy
assembled
togither
haue
auctoritie
to
make
any
Lawes
or
Decrees
besydes
Gods
Law
ouer
the
people
without
the
consent
of
the
Princes
and
the
people
:
and
if
they
do
make
anye
suche
,
no
man
is
bounde
to
obey
theym
.
¶
Thirdly
,
I
say
that
in
those
countryes
,
where
by
the
auctorite
of
the
Prince
they
haue
made
any
suche
Lawes
,
th
auctorite
of
those
Lawes
,
doth
not
appende
and
hang
of
the
Bisshops
and
the
Clergy
,
but
of
the
princes
&
cheif
heds
in
euery
country
¶
Fourthly
,
I
say
&
affirme
that
within
this
Realme
of
England
&
other
the
kinges
Dominions
,
there
is
no
Law
,
Decree
,
Ordinaunce
or
Constitution
ecclesiasticall
in
force
and
auaileable
by
any
mans
auctority
,
but
only
by
the
Kynges
maiestyes
auctority
or
of
his
Parliament
.
And
where
in
any
foresaid
booke
of
Traditions
,
I
sayd
that
Tenthes
of
Benefices
be
dew
only
to
theym
that
do
preche
and
teche
the
Scripture
,
and
also
that
he
that
serueth
not
he
Aulter
nor
precheth
not
the
Gospell
can
nott
iustly
lyue
by
the
Tenthes
,
but
is
in
conscience
bound
to
restore
the
profites
and
frutes
taken
therby
:
Which
my
sayenges
as
it
lieth
in
woordes
&
sentences
is
seditious
and
sclaunderous
to
the
Kynges
maiesties
procedinges
and
the
Lawes
and
Ordres
of
this
Realme
,
which
haue
graunted
Tenthes
and
Tythes
to
many
Ley
persones
:
Therfore
this
my
sayeng
as
it
may
be
taken
,
&
iustly
by
the
wordes
and
sentences
as
they
be
put
,
I
wyl
not
nor
entend
to
defende
nor
aueere
the
same
:
but
I
requyre
that
I
may
put
theym
and
declare
theim
gently
,
that
I
ment
not
in
these
my
sayinges
of
any
Lay
men
,
to
the
derogation
of
the
Lawes
and
Statutes
of
this
Realme
:
but
I
ment
only
of
Curates
and
Preestes
which
receyuing
their
Tythes
,
do
not
their
dutyes
accordingly
.
And
where
also
in
my
sayd
booke
of
Traditions
,
and
lykewyse
in
my
boke
of
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
I
folowyng
Damascene
and
other
Auncient
Authors
,
wrote
,
that
the
Disciples
of
Christ
dyd
make
certayne
Canons
,
which
saint
Clement
dyd
gether
togither
and
put
in
writyng
,
and
that
these
same
Canons
must
be
taken
for
the
Appostles
doctrine
and
techyng
,
and
their
woordes
without
doubt
to
be
beleued
&
kepte
as
that
which
is
conteyned
expressely
in
scripture
.
Now
hauynge
red
many
thynges
,
whiche
at
that
tyme
I
had
not
diligently
marked
&
wayed
:
I
doo
thinke
,
affirme
,
and
confesse
that
doctrine
to
be
not
trew
,
but
a
vayne
,
vnlawfull
,
vniust
,
and
vnportable
burdein
to
Christen
consciences
:
And
that
those
Canons
pretended
to
be
of
th
appostles
making
and
gatherd
of
saint
Clement
,
not
to
be
made
of
th
appostles
:
or
if
they
were
,
not
to
be
made
otherwise
than
but
for
an
order
in
the
Church
for
that
tyme
,
not
euer
for
to
endure
wherof
many
at
this
tyme
in
no
wyse
be
too
be
obserued
:
And
those
which
do
remayne
,
not
to
be
of
that
force
as
Gods
lawe
to
charge
mens
consciences
otherwise
,
then
as
mans
Ordinaunces
and
Policie
whiche
may
be
taken
away
by
Superior
powers
aswel
&
with
so
lytle
scruple
of
conscience
as
other
of
them
which
many
yeres
a
go
were
taken
away
,
&
to
sum
clene
contrary
lawes
made
In
the
said
boke
of
Traditions
also
I
sayd
&
affirmed
,
that
Christ
and
his
Appostles
taught
and
lefte
to
the
church
many
thingꝭ
without
writyng
which
we
must
both
beleue
stedfastly
&
also
fulfyll
obediently
vnder
payne
of
dampnation
euer
to
endure
.
Amongest
the
which
I
rehersed
by
name
a
greate
nomber
to
be
obeyed
,
kepte
&
folowed
:
as
the
obseruation
of
Lent
from
flesh
or
wyne
,
the
kepyng
of
the
Sacrament
in
the
Pyx
,
the
receyuing
of
it
at
the
preestes
handes
,
the
hallowyng
of
the
water
in
the
Font
,
the
thrise
dippyng
of
the
Chylde
in
the
water
at
the
Christenyng
,
the
puttyng
on
of
the
Chrisome
,
the
Consecration
of
the
Oyle
,
&
Anoyntyng
of
the
christened
chylde
,
the
hallowyng
of
the
Aulters
,
the
prayeng
towardes
the
East
,
the
Sensyng
of
the
aultare
,
the
Wasshyng
of
the
handes
,
&
sayeng
Confiteor
,
and
lifting
vp
of
the
Sacrament
at
the
Masse
,
the
makyng
of
Holy
Water
,
That
the.
xii
Appostles
(
euery
man
a
peace
for
his
portion
)
made
the
Crede
,
&
many
mo
besydes
these
.
And
after
lyke
sorte
I
spake
of
Canons
,
Decrees
,
and
Ordinaunces
of
bysshops
and
generall
counsels
.
Now
I
do
confesse
the
saide
doctrine
as
concernyng
th
obseruyng
of
the
sayd
Traditions
vnder
that
payne
,
to
be
false
and
Tirannicall
,
an
vniust
,
vnlawfull
,
and
vntrew
burdein
of
mens
consciences
,
not
fit
to
be
taught
,
preched
,
or
defended
,
Lykewyse
of
the
beleuynge
of
thinges
where
I
dyd
say
,
that
there
are
diuerse
thynges
not
expressed
in
the
scripture
which
we
are
bounde
to
beleue
egally
with
those
thynges
which
arr
written
in
Scripture
,
in
the
nomber
of
which
I
dyd
confusely
&
indiseretely
for
an
example
bring
some
of
the
afore
rehersed
and
other
many
.
As
concernyng
many
things
in
my
booke
put
,
and
the
more
nomber
there
by
me
reconed
and
named
I
affirme
and
say
to
be
false
,
and
in
no
wyse
trew
,
but
very
daungerous
and
vniustly
,
onerous
to
the
consciences
of
christen
men
:
and
too
be
trew
only
in
those
Doctrines
which
necessaryly
may
be
gathered
,
&
consequently
doo
folow
too
the
wordes
and
sentences
in
Scripture
,
so
that
in
effect
they
may
be
iustly
counted
to
be
in
scripture
,
though
the
very
fourme
of
woordes
be
not
there
:
Of
the
which
in
my
Booke
is
very
few
,
yet
some
I
dyd
reherse
:
as
Baptismus
puerorum
,
Descensus
Christi
ad
inferos
,
Virginitas
Marie
,
Trinitas
personarum
,
Processio
Spiritus
sancti
,
and
a
few
other
.
And
bicause
I
wold
declare
the
trew
acceptions
,
dignitie
and
auctoritie
of
scripture
too
be
distincte
,
diuerse
,
&
of
higher
,
surer
,
more
stable
and
firme
order
and
credence
,
then
the
other
vnwritten
Tradicions
&
Assertions
,
wandring
in
th
obseruation
of
many
yeres
,
&
the
churches
canons
and
Decres
,
ordinaunces
and
traditions
left
by
succession
.
Here
I
do
declare
,
set
furth
,
confesse
,
affirme
,
and
asserte
my
trew
&
stedfast
opinion
,

me
as

,
and

Traditions
vnwritten
and
not
declared
in
the
said

Scripture
.
The

of
th
olde

written
by
th
inspiratiō

concernyng

(
his
grace
assistyng
)
I
shal
be
redy
.
AND
now
concernyng
another
booke
whiche
I
made
of
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
where
the
moast
chief
and
principall
article
of
our
fayth
,
and
moast
directly
perteynyng
too
the
redemption
of
our
synnes
and
to
our
saluation
is
:
That
our
sauyor
Christ
Iesu
by
his
moast
precious
death
and
effusion
of
his
moast
precious
blood
vpon
the
crosse
dyd
redeme
man
kynde
,
taking
away
our
synnes
,
pacifying
the
indignation
of
his
father
,
and
cancellyng
th
obligation
that
was
agaynst
vs
:
In
which
Sacrifice
makyng
vnto
his
father
,
our
sayde
Sauyoure
Ihesus
Christ
as
saynt
Paule
sayth
playnly
to
the
Hebrewes
,
was
not
a
preest
after
the
order
of
Aaron
,
forasmuch
as
he
was
of
another
Trybe
:
and
also
,
that
preesthod
was
imperfite
and
vnprofitable
bringyng
nothyng
too
perfection
:
But
our
Sauyour
Christ
made
his
sacrifice
vpon
the
Crosse
parfectly
,
absolutely
,
and
with
the
most
hyghest
perfection
that
could
be
,
somuch
,
that
after
that
one
oblation
and
sacrifice
for
syn
made
by
hym
but
once
only
,
nother
he
nor
any
other
creature
shuld
at
any
tyme
after
,
make
any
mo
oblacions
for
the
same
.
And
for
as
that
saynt
Paule
sayth
,
he
was
called
an
eternall
preest
of
the
order
of
Melchysedeth
,
and
not
of
Aaron
.
This
fayth
ought
euery
man
and
woman
vndoubtedly
to
beleue
and
openly
to
professe
vpon
payne
of
euerlastyng
dampnation
,
and
also
too
dye
in
this
professyon
if
case
shall
so
requyre
:
The
which
moast
holsome
&
moast
necessary
doctrine
of
our
fayth
I
not
dilygently
consideryng
,
as
many
tymes
too
right
great
clerkes
&
lerned
men
in
much
writynge
in
lyke
mattiers
it
hath
chaunced
to
say
too
far
.
The
infirmite
and
weakenesse
of
men
beyng
suche
,
that
seldome
in
many
words
error
hath
escaped
.
So
in
my
boke
of
the
Sacrifice
of
the
masse
,
I
dyd
incircumspectly
&
rashly
write
and
set
furth
too
the
people
,
that
Christ
was
not
a
preest
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
whan
he
offred
him selfe
vpon
the
Crosse
too
his
father
for
our
synnes
,
but
was
a
preest
after
the
order
of
Aaron
.
And
that
when
Christ
dyd
offer
his
owne
body
too
his
father
after
th
order
of
Melchisedech
t
appease
his
wrath
,
it
may
not
be
vnderstand
of
the
sacrifice
of
the
crosse
,
but
of
the
sacrifise
that
Christ
made
at
his
Maundy
in
forme
of
bread
and
wyne
:
To
the
which
in
dede
saynt
Paules
doctrine
is
contrary
,
both
in
other
places
,
and
in
th
epistle
and
Hebreos
very
manifestly
,
agaynst
whom
,
who
without
doubt
had
the
very
spirite
of
God
.
Neither
it
becometh
,
nor
I
wyl
not
willingly
teach
or
defend
any
thyng
:
Wherfore
you
shal
impute
that
,
good
Audience
,
too
the
frailty
of
mans
nature
,
and
too
my
negligent
marking
,
hauing
at
that
tyme
rather
a
respecte
too
a
fantasy
that
then
I
had
in
my
mynde
,
than
too
the
trew
and
infallyble
doctrine
of
scripture
.
And
moreouer
in
the
same
my
booke
,
I
sayd
not
onely
that
the
Sacrifice
of
the
masse
is
the
selfe
same
substaunce
of
Christ
but
also
the
selfe
same
oblacion
or
offeryng
of
our
sauyoure
Christes
very
flesh
and
blood
which
him self
once
offrid
to
his
father
on
the
crosse
to
appeale
his
wrath
.
And
that
the
preestes
do
continually
and
daily
in
the
masse
offre
not
onely
the
selfe
same
body
of
Christ
,
but
also
to
the
same
effecte
,
that
Christ
dyd
offre
himselfe
to
his
father
at
his
Maundy
.
Of
the
which
wordes
and
doctrine
,
if
they
be
not
very
warely
&
circumspectly
reade
,
and
more
fauorably
taken
then
the
wordes
as
they
lye
,
may
well
bere
,
it
might
be
gatherd
,
that
preestes
herein
be
egall
with
Christ
.
Preestes
of
th
order
of
Melchisedech
,
appeasing
the
wrath
&
indignation
of
the
father
of
heauen
,
crucifying
or
offeryng
Christ
to
the
same
effecte
that
Christ
in
his
owne
persone
dyd
vpon
the
crosse
,
which
is
a
blasphemy
intolerable
to
be
herd
of
christen
eares
.
For
Christ
as
saynt
Paule
sayth
,
was
but
once
offered
,
once
gaue
vp
himselfe
for
the
redemption
of
our
synnes
on
good
friday
on
the
crosse
,
nor
neuer
before
nor
after
was
offered
for
vs
,
but
in
a
sacrament
and
as
a
commemoration
of
the
same
.
And
so
of
the
Maundy
or
Supper
of
our
Lorde
,
Christ
himself
sayth
Hec
quotiescumque
feceritis
,
in
meam
commemorationem
facietis
.
Ones
he
dyed
for
our
synnes
,
and
once
agayne
he
rose
for
our
iustification
.
He
dyeth
no
more
,
&
his
sacrifice
was
so
good
so
ful
,
so
plesant
,
so
precious
to
god
,
that
there
needed
no
more
oblations
to
appease
god
,
nor
only
for
the
synnes
past
,
but
also
for
all
the
synnes
to
the
day
of
Doome
.
There
neede
no
more
sacrifices
,
no
more
offerers
,
but
as
hauyng
a
respect
and
a
remembraunce
of
that
most
holy
,
most
perfyte
,
and
most
entier
Lambe
,
then
&
for
euer
offred
vp
for
vs
.
But
these
before
sayd
I
can
not
deny
but
spoken
of
me
and
written
,
And
as
I
do
not
now
lyke
theym
,
so
at
th
example
of
saint
Austen
and
other
good
doctors
,
I
am
not
ashamed
to
retracte
theym
,
call
theim
agayne
,
&
condempne
theim
.
For
when
I
folowed
myne
own
inuention
not
directed
by
Scripture
,
I
began
as
the
nature
of
man
is
to
wander
,
and
at
the
last
went
cleane
contrary
too
Gods
woord
.
Wherfore
,
I
hertely
exhort
euery
man
as
touchyng
matiers
of
faith
to
founde
the
same
vpon
Gods
certeyn
,
trew
,
and
infallyble
woorde
:
lest
by
doyng
the
contrary
,
they
fall
into
superstition
,
idolatry
,
&
other
manyfold
errers
as
I
my self
sometyme
,
and
many
other
(
although
I
doo
not
come
hyther
too
accuse
any
man
)
yet
I
perceyue
of
late
tyme
haue
doone
.
Wherfore
,
these
my
two
bookes
,
the
one
of
the
Sacrifice
of
the
masse
,
and
thother
of
the
Traditions
vnwritten
,
in
those
poyntes
before
rehersed
,
&
all
other
wherin
they
be
not
full
consonant
to
scripture
,
I
forsake
&
renounce
as
false
erroneous
,
and
agaynst
the
trew
woord
of
God
.
Requiring
the
good
christen
reder
whosoeuer
shall
rede
theym
,
to
geue
no
further
credence
vnto
theym
then
I
wold
my selfe
:
That
is
,
not
to
take
as
vndoubted
truth
all
that
is
therin
written
,
but
as
written
of
a
man
that
sometyme
falleth
:
to
be
so
farre
trew
as
they
be
consonaunt
to
scripture
,
wher
they
be
not
agaynst
scripture
,
to
be
humane
persuasion
,
which
may
either
be
so
or
not
so
,
as
the
great
resone
shall
leade
:
where
they
be
not
consonaunt
to
scripture
to
be
erroneouse
and
false
,
and
that
I
muche
lament
&
am
sory
that
I
wrote
them
in
those
poyntes
.
And
I
desyre
euery
man
that
hath
any
of
the
sayd
bokes
,
to
beware
of
theym
,
and
to
gyue
no
credence
to
theym
in
all
suche
thynges
in
theim
written
,
as
be
not
consonant
to
the
scripture
,
as
they
auoyde
occasion
of
error
,
and
tendre
the
truth
of
Gods
word
and
his
glory
.
To
whom
be
laude
,
prayse
,
and
honor
Amen
.
