It
is
not
vnknowen
what
an
occasyon
of
sclaunder
dyuers
haue
taken
,
in
that
the
kinges
Maiestie
wyth
hys
honourable
Counsel
,
hath
gone
about
to
alter
or
take
away
the
abuse
of
the
communion
,
vsed
in
the
Masse
,
both
contrarye
to
Chrystes
instytucion
and
the
ministracion
of
the
Apostles
and
catholyke
fathers
in
the
prymatiue
Church
.
And
for
so
muche
as
the
,
same
abuse
of
the
communion
hath
been
many
yeares
in
estimacion
,
and
counted
holy
:
the
ignoraunt
and
vnlerned
(
for
lacke
of
Godly
instruction
)
esteme
the
same
abuse
called
the
Masse
,
to
be
the
principall
poynt
of
Chrystianitie
,
to
whom
the
alteryng
therof
apeareth
very
straunge
.
But
if
such
parsones
,
to
whom
it
apeareth
straunge
,
wolde
but
ponder
and
way
,
how
our
forefathers
haue
been
robbed
,
and
the
common
welth
decayed
through
the
abuse
of
the
Masse
/
they
shuld
sone
perceaue
the
dyfference
betwene
the
communion
and
it
.
And
that
the
kynges
maiestie
and
hys
honourable
counsell
,
doth
but
as
they
becommaunded
by
Gods
worde
.
Consyderynge
that
Saules
Kyngdome
was
taken
from
hym
for
euer
/
for
that
he
disobeyed
Gods
worde
.
And
agayne
/
callyng
to
remembraunce
,
the
great
&
manyfold
vyctoryes
/
which
God
gaue
to
such
kinges
and
rulers
as
obeyed
hys
worde
,
wyth
the
dyscommendacyons
of
the
euell
,
and
the
commendacions
of
the
good
,
as
appeareth
in
the
.vi.
laste
chapters
of
Ecclesiasticus
.
Amonge
which
/
Ezechias
in
the.
48.
chapter
/
is
commended
after
thys
sorte
.
For
Ezechias
had
done
the
thing
that
pleased
the
lorde
/
and
remayned
sted
fastlye
in
the
waye
of
Dauid
hys
Father
.
Nowe
Ezechias
brake
downe
the
brasen
serpent
/
which
Moyses
/
as
apeareth
Nu
mer.

Set
vp
for

700.
yeares
and
odde
,
before
the
commyng
of
Ezechias
/
the
which
the
priestes
of
the
Israelites
after
the
death
of
Moyses
/
abused
,
and
gaue
it
a
new
name
/
and
called
it
Nehusthan
,
euen
as
our
popish
priestes
styl
do
abuse
the
lordes
supper
or
communion
/
callynge
it
styll
a
new
name
:
Missa
or
Masse
.
But
what
dyd
Ezechias
after
he
sawe
the
abuse
of
the
brasen
serpent
?
Dyd
he
regarde
mans
doctrine
,
or
the
auncient
custome
/
because
it
had
bene
abused
.vij.
C.
years
?
No
forsoth
,
he
regarded
none
of
these
thynges
.
But
the
scrypture
/
Reg.
iiij
.
the
.xviij.
chapter
,
sayth
he
brake
down
the
brasen
Serpent
whych
moyses
had
made
.
For
vnto
that
tyme
,
had
the
chyldren
of
Isra●ll
brenty
incense
vnto
it
/
and
called
it
Nehusthan
.
Wherfore
deare
Reader
/
maruell
not
at
the
Kynges
Maiestyes
procedynges
,
so
longe
as
he
hath
the
scrypture
for
hym
.
And
loke
that
thou
advoide
and
eschue
the
procedinges
of
the
pope
and
his
sworne
soldiers
/
whych
are
wholy
agaynst
God
and
hys
word
:
as
are
:
Wynchesters
/
Smythes
/
Perynes
&
other
lyke
,
By
whose
bookes
thow
mayest
playnnelye
parceaue
them
to
flee
from
the
scryptures
.
Maynteynynge
superstycyon
and
false
fayned
relygion
.
Yea
,
euen
the
masse
Whych
is
a
derogation
to
chrystes
bloud
.
For
Chryst
left
the
Sacrament
of
hys
body
and
bloud
,
in
bread
and
wyne
to
be
eaten
and
dronken
in
the
remembraunce
of
hys
death
and
passion
:
and
not
to
be
loked
at
,
as
the
Israelytes
dyd
at
the
brasen
serpent
.
For
the
serpent
was
set
●ppe
for
a
token
of
Chrystes
passion
,
then
to
come
,
which
the
Israelites
loked
for
as
witnesseth
.
S.
John
in
the.
4
chapt
.
saying
:
As
Moises
lyft
vp
the
serpent
in
the
wyldernes
,
euen
so
must
the
son
ne
of

be
lift
vp
/
that
who
soeuer
beleueth
in
him
,
shal
not
perysh
,
but
haue
euerlasting
life
.
Thus
,
euen
as
the
serpent
was
a
fygure
of
Chrystes
passion
,
then
to
come
,
as
witnesseth
Moyses
/

saying
.
And
the
lorde
sayd
vnto
me
,
they
haue
well
spoken
,
I
wyll
rayse
them
vp
a
prophet
from
among
theyr
brethern
,
lyke
vnto
the
,
&
will
put
my
wordes
in
his
mouth
and
he
shall
speake
vnto
them
all
that
I
shall
commaund
him
/
and
who
soeuer
wyl
not
harken
to
my
woordes
whiche
he
shall
speake
in
my
name
,
of
hym
wyll
I
require
it
.
O
ye
papistes
,
why
wyll
ye
not
harken
to
the
wordes
of
Chryst
the
great
prophet
which
he
spake
of
his
communion
,
in
Mathew
,
Marke
and
Luke
?
And
also
to
the
ministracion
of

Who
sayth
,
as
often
as
ye
eate
thys
bread
,
and
drynke
thys
cuppe
,
ye
shall
shew
the
lordes
death
tyll

.
Here
we
se
,
howe
in
eatyng
and
drinking
,
through
fayth
,
is
declared
vnto
vs
,
how
that
Chryst
offered
his
bodye
,
and
shedde
hys
Bloude
vppon
the
Crosse
,
for
the
Remyssyon
of
Synnes
,
ones
for
all
.
Paule
sayth
not
,
as
often
as
the
pryest
lyfteth
the
breade
and
wyne
aboue
his
shauen
crowne
,
for
the
Papysts
to
gale
at
,
ye
shall
shew
the
lordes
death
tyll
he
●om
,
but
he
sayth
,
as
often
as
ye
eate
of
thys
breade
,
and
drinke
of
this
cuppe
/
ye
shall
shew
the
lordes
death
tyll
he
come
.
And
thys
is
also
the
mynde
of
the
auncient
catholyk
fathers
,
to
receaue
it
as
a
memoryall
of
hys
death
,
and
not
to
eate
it
thinkyng
or
beleuing
him
to
be
there
ryallye
,
as
he
was
borne
of
the
virgin
mary

My

Herefore
are

thynges
called
Sacramentes
/

so
muche
as
in
them
there
is
one
thynge
seem
and
an

That
which

But

thynge

hath
a
spyrytuall
frute

The
sayd
Austen
in

treatise
vpon

S.
Iohn
sayth
:
The
body
of
Chryste
is
rysen
from
death
,
and
must
be
in
one
place
.
Also
in
hys
boke

Chapter
sayth
:
these
thre
thynges
:
The
bloude
ys

This
is
my
body
,
and
the

was
Chryste
/
He
teacheth
these
thynges
to
be
spoken
as
though
he
spake
by
a
fygure
in
Signe
and
sygnyfiynge
and
amonge
other
thynges
,
sayth
these
woordes
:
I
maye
expound
thys
commaundement
to
be
a
token
,
for
the

doubted
not

thys

are
delyuered
by
the
death
of
the
lorde
/
hauing
remembraunce
of
the
same
in

Also
.
S.
Ciprianin
the
seconde
boke
of
hys
Epystle
,
the
iij.
chapter
,
sayth
:
for
so
much
as
in
al
sacrifices
we
make
mencion
of
the
passion
of
Christ
.
For
the
lordes
passion
is
the
sacrifice
that
we
offer
.
We
ought
not
to
do
otherwyse
than
he
hath
done
.
For
the
scripture
sayth
as
often
as
ye
eate
this
breade
,
and
drynke
this
chalyce
,
ye
anounce
or
declare
the
death
of
Christ
tyll
he
come
.
Then
as
often
as
we
offer
the
chalyce
in
the
remembraunce
of
the
lorde
and
of
hys
passion
:
we
do
that
,
which
apeareth
to
haue
been
done
of
the
lorde
.
Good
Reader
,
here
haue
ye
sufficient
Aucthours
both
of
the
scryptures
and
also
of
the
Catholyke
doctoures
:
agaynste
the
transubstancyon
and
the
abuse
of
the
masse
:
whych
:
if
God
permyt
:
ye
maye
see
no
lesse
abused
:
then
was
the
brasen
serpent
.
for
euen
as
the
wicked
prye
stes
of
the
Israelytes
senced
the
brasen
serpent
geuyng
it
a
new
name
callyng
it
Nehu
sthan
:
geuyng
the
ISRAELYTS
to
vnderstande
that
by
it
/
they
receaued
theyr
health
.
Euen
so
hath
the
pope
and
papystes
inuented
the
transubstanciation
in
our
kynde
,
geuing
the
Christyans
to
vnderstand
that
CHRIST
is
wholy
in
that
kynde
which
is
hanged
ouer
the
alter
,
euen
as
he
was
borne
of
hys
Blessed
mother
the
virgyn
mary
.
And
therfore
do
the
papistes
knele
to
it
,
put
of
theyr
cappes
to
it
,
knock
theyr
brestes
befor
it
/
and
their
priestes
sence
it
.
But
trulye
assured
I
am
that
the
popish
pryestes
haue
euen
so
good
scriptures
to
proue
this
,
as
the
Israelites
had
to
proue
theyr
Nehusthan
.
Wherfore
let
no
man
murmer
agaynst
the
Kynges
maiesties
procedinges
.
For
his
grace
hath
the
scryptures
for
hym
/
where
the
aduersaryes
haue
none
.
And
that
maye
be
well
gathered
by
theyr
seking
of
insurrections
/
and
in
styrring
the
scottes
and
frenchmenagaynst
the
Kynges
maiestie
.
Thys
is
no
new
,
but
an
Aunciynt
Practyse
of
theyrs
,
as
ye
may
well
perceaue
in
Tindals
practyse
of
prelates
.
But
by
Gods
helpe
,
his
grace
wyth
his
honourable
counsell
,
in
that
they
go
about
,
to
set
furth
the
glory
of
God
,
in
restoryng
the
communion
according
to
the
first
insti●ucion
set
furth
by
Chryst
as
it
apeareth
in
the
scriptures
,
not
seking
temporall
possessyons
,
which
the
papistes
,
thorow
theyr
masse
/
haue
gotten
contrary
to
the
worde
of
God
,
in
muche
greater
abundaunce
then
the
scriptur
permitteth
them
.
The
kinges
grace
I
say
,
in
so
doyng
,
shall
obteyne
no
lesse
prayse
for
euer
,
then
Ecclesiasticus
setteth
furth
of
the
foresayd
kinges
,
in
the
latter
chapter
of
his
boke
:
And
to
the
contrarye
all
they
that
murmer
or
grudge
agaynst
his
maiesties
procedinges
,
without
doubt
God
shall
confounde
them
,
as
he
dyd
the
Ennemies
of
Dauid
/
Ezechias
and
Iosias
with
many
other
.
I
pray
you
,
what
a
goodly
prayse
setteth
Ecclesiasticus
forth
in
his
.
44.
chapter
of
Iosias
,
Sayth
he
not
the
remembraunce
of
Iosias
is
lyke
as
when
the
apothecary
maketh
many
precious
swetesmellyng
thinges
together
,
his
remembraunce
shal
be
swete
as
hony
in
all
monethes
,
&
as
the
playing
of
musyke
by
the
wyne
?
he
was
appoynted
to
turne
the
people
agayne
and
to
take
away
all
abhominacions
of
the
vngodly
.
He
derected
his
harte
vnto
the
lord
and
in
the
time
of
the
vngodly
he
set
vp
the
worshyppe
of
GOD
agayne
.
All
Kynges
excepte
Dauid
,
Ezechias
and
Iosias
commited
wickednes
:
for
euen
the
kinges
of
Iuda
also
forsoke
the
law
of
God
.
Oh
God
,
I
wold
the
papistes
wolde
remembre
this
saying
:
and
search
whether
the
Chrystian
kynges
haue
forsaken
the
lawes
of
God
or
not
.
I
dare
wel
wryte
,
that
they
can
not
deny
,
but
that
they
haue
.
Wherefore
if
such
to
whom
the
kinges
maiestie
and
his
honorable
coum
sell
shall
commyt
the
reformatyon
of
hys
graces
procedynges
,
agaynst
the
abuses
of
Gods
word
,
do
seke
the
worlds
substaunces
vnder
that
pretence
of
the
setting
furth
of
Gods
word
/
not
caring
,
so
they
get
substaunce
what
commeth
of
Gods
word
,
as
partlye
hath
apeared
in
these
our
dayes
,
both
in
the
clergy
and
also
in
the
laytye
.
It
wyl
be
a
slaunder
to
oure
Relygion
in
those
dayes
as
it
was
euen
in
the
Primatiue
churche
,
as
appeareth
in
the
seuenth
boke
,
the
.xvij.
chaptof
Eusebius
ecclesiasticall
history
,
of
Paulus
Samosatenus
a
bysshop
of
Antioch
/
of
whom
is
said
,
yf
we
speake
of
his
pride
/
it
was
Intollerable
:
For
he
shewed
hym selfe
more
lyke
a
captayne
then
a
bysshop
,
for
so
much
as
in
going
by
the
streates
,
he
vsed
a
maruelouse
pryde
,
in
reading
the
letters
which
were
sent
hym
:
before
the
people
/
naming
the
answeares
to
hys
secretataries
whych
accompanyed
hym
/
hauynge
so
great
a
nombre
of
folke
which
went
before
hym
:
and
a
great
multytude
following
hym
,
in
such
maner
that
all
they
which
sawe
hym
abhorred
,
hys
pryde
,
and
for
the
same
,
blamed
our
Relygion
.
Oh.
GOD
/
doth
not
the
pryde
of
the
bysshopes
in
these
our
dayes
,
resemble
the
same
Paules
pryde
?
He
that
lysteth
to
rede
the
forsayd
chapter
out
/
shall
see
muche
.
But
thankes
be
vnto
the
lorde
,
who
hath
geuen
the
same
power
vnto
the
Kinges
Maiestie
in
these
dayes
/
which
he
gaue
to
Aurelyan
the
emperour
in
those
dayes
which
was
:
that
he
gaue
power
to
the
metrapolytane
and
other
faythfull
bysshopes
:
to
depose

Howe
Chryst

according

For
truly
the
chatholyke
fathers
abhorred
them
:
euen
in
the

.
As
hereafter
thou
mayst
perceaue

And

Castus

sayth
in

He
the
which
presumeth
to
follow
the
custume
in
contempnyng
the
veritie
/
eyther
he
is
enuyous
and
malycious
agaynst
his
brethern
to
whome
the
verytie
is
opened
,
or
els
he
is
vnthankfull
to
God
,
by
whose
inspiration
his

Also
Ciprian
ad

,
agaynst
Steuens

sayth
.
The
custume
which
is
rysen
with
som
,
ought
not
to
let
the
verytie
to
haue
lesse
place
,
to
rhintent
that
the
veritie
shulde
not
vanquish
.
For
custum
without
veritem
is
auncientnes
of
errour
.
Wherfore
in
leanyng
,
the
errour
,
let
vs
follow
the
veritie
.
Also
Austen
in
his

And
are
also

:
seying
Chryste
is
the
veritie
/
we
ought
rather
to
follow

.
Also
Felix
Bysshop
sayth
:
let
none
set

before
the
veritie
,
for
reason
&
veritie
wyll

Ciprian
ad

sayeth
.
If
ye
doo
that
whiche
I
commaunce
you
/
from
henseforth
wyll
I
not
call
you
seruauntes
,
but
frendes
.
Yea
/
and
that
Chryst
ought
only
to
be
heard
,
the
father
witnesseth
from
heauen
,
saying
:
This
is
my
welbeloued
sonne
in
whom
I
delyte
,
heare
him
.
Wherfore
if
it
be
so
that
Christ
ought
only
to
be
heard
,
we
ought
not
to
care
what
thing
any
befor
vs
hath
estemed
to
be
good
/
but
those
thinges
which
Chryst
teacheth
/
who
was
before
all
other
.
Neyther
must
we
follow
mannes
custume
but
the
veritie
of
God
.
For
the
lorde
sayd
by
Esay
the
prophet
.
They
honour
me
without
cause
/
and
teache
the
commaundementes
and
doctryne
of
men
.
And
also
in
the
Gospell
,
why
do
ye
transgresse
the
commaundementes
of
God
,
to
stablysh
your
owne
tradicions
?
Wherfore
(
dere
brethern
)
if
anye
one
of
our
predecessours
,
through
ignoraunce
or
symplycitie
:
haue
not
obserued
and
kept
that
which
the
lord
hath
taught
vs
to
do
,
eyther
by
example
or
doctryne
,
it
may
be
reputed
to
symplicitie
,
and
may
be
forgeuen
them
through
the
indulgence
of
the
lorde
.
But
it
may
not
be
forgeuen
vs
which
now
are
instructed
of
the
lorde
:
but
it
is
expedient
for
vs
to
send
letters
to
our
companions
,
that
the
lordes
gospel
&
his
doctrine
be
kept
ouer
al
,
&
the
wè
withdraw
vs
not
from
that
which
chryst
hath
taught
&
done
.
Here
ye
se
how
that
catholik
fathers
are
against
mannes
doctryne
and
auncient
custume
/
Whose
doctryne
is
conformable

as
ye
herein
may

Wherfore
Paule
foreseing
(
by
the
spirite
of
prophetie
)
that
such
false
and
erronious
doctrine
shulde
com
,
geuith
warning
vnto
Timo.
in
the

chapter
of

/
The

that

Yea

Paule

as
I

so

I
now
agayne

if
any

that
ye

Wherfore
(
this
saying
consydered
)
no
manne
can
gather
by
Paules
doctryne
but
that
althose
ceremonies
before
recited
,
were
neuer
receaued
of
Paule
nor
yet
of
none
of
the
apostles
.
By
the
which
it
followeth
that
all
those
which
preach
these
ceremonies
to
the
peple
are
accursed
by
Paule
:
for
so
much
as
they
were
not
receaued
when
Paule
preached
the
curse
.
Therfore
let
vs
repent
and
beleue
Gods
wordes
seing
it
hath
pleased
him
to
open
it
vnto
vs
,
in
these
our
days
.
For
if
it
had
bene
so
plen
tyfully
opened
vnto
our
forefathers
:
the
bysshops
of
Rome
and
theyr
maynteyners
could
neuer
haue
preuayled
agaynst
Christen
princes
as
they
haue
done
,
neyther
yet
maynteyned
their
inuented
ceremonyes
,
agaynst
the
which
the

These
men
with
dyuers
other
haue
written
agaynst
their
tradicions
/
euery
one
in
his
tyme
/
as
appeareth
in
their
workes
.
But
the
citasion
why
that
scripturs
&
these
catholyke
mens
workes
myght
not
take
place
/
was
for
lacke
of
the
prynt
.
For
in
the
primatiue
church
,
and
vnto
such
time
that
God
had
sent
the
prynt
/
it
was
a
greate
thing
for
a
man
to
wryte
a
byble
,
yea
/
as
much
as
a
man
myght
to
in
his
whole
life
.
Wherfor
for
lacke
of
gods
woorde
,
the
people
myght
nor
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
bishop
of
Romes
deuelysh
inuencion
.
Yea
,
and
we
may
be
sure
in
case
the
scriptures
had
been
as
plentyfull
and
as
leful
to
euery
man
/
in
the
primatiue
church
/
as
they
are
now
in
these
our
days
/
the
antichristes
of
Rome
&
all
their
ayders
shuld
haue
had
as
much
to
do
in
the
setting
vp
of
them
as
men
haue
now
in
the
pulling
downe
of
them
.
For
the
holy
Scriptures
were
then
in
few
mens
handes
so
that
the
Christians
had
not
to
stablish
them selues
in
Christ
,
but
only
by
the
preachers
.
And
after
that
that
apostles
&
sincere
pachers
,
were
departed
to
god
/
them
began
that
Romish
bisshops
to
stablish
their
earthly
kingdom
,
&
to
become
lords
of
that
whole
christen
relygions
,
as
well
ouer
that
prices
as
ouer
their
subiectes
,
as
it
may
apeare
by
aunciant
chronicles
.
For
in
that
.x.
boke
the
.vi.
chap
of
Eusebius
works
it
is
mencioned
,
howe
the
in
that
counsell
of
●ice
holden
by
the
emperour
constatine
that
great
,
wast
decreed
that
the
auncient
custumes
shulde
be
kept
in
Alexandria
&
in
the
citie
of
Rome
:
to
wyt
,
that
the
bysshop
of
Alexandria
shulde
haue
the
charge
of
the
churches
in
Egypt
:
and
he
in
Rome
,
of
the
churches
in
Rome
and
about
Rome
.
Now
,
this
Christen
counsell
being
kept
.iiij.
c.
yeares
after
Chryst
/
coulde
not
fynde
the
Romish
bysshop
.
Christes
successour
/
but
only
ouer
the
churches
of
Rome
&
about
rome
.
I
pray
you
from
whence
cam
hys
auctoritie
sence
to
be
called
Chrystes
successoure
ouer
the
whole
christen
congregacions
?
yf
it
had
com
from
Christ
,
this
counsell
(
no
doubt
)
wold
haue
found
it
.
Truly
I
can
not
gather
of
whome
he
receaued
it
,
onles
be
receaued
it
of
that
deuell
that
wolde
haue
had
Chryst
to
fall
downe
and
honour
him
/
as
is
written
Mathew
.iiij.
but
Christ
had
him
avoyde

but
I
thinke
Syluester

receaued

refused

Iohn

that

for

of

saith
I
praye
you
wherfore
dyd

.
Truly
because
the
wicked
Dyoclesyan
the.
xxxv
.
Emperour
in
the
.ix.
yeare
of
hys
reygne
/
which
was
about
the
yeare
of
Chryst
.
288.
as
Cation
wrytteth
/
dyd
as
appeareth
in
the
seuently
boke
the
second
chapter
of
Eusebius
story
cause
thys
proclamacyon
followyng
/
to
be
proclaymed
,
which
was
that
the
churches
of
the
christyans
whiche
myght
be
founde
shuld
be
ouerthrowen
to
the
fondacions
&
the
bokes
and
scryptures
burned
,
and
that
all
those
of
that
relygyon
,
which
had
any
dignitie
or
office
,
shuld
be
put
forth
&
remaine
ashamed
,
and
that
those
slaues
which
perseuered
in
the
chrysten
fayth
myght
not
obtayne
lybertie
,
the
occasyon
herof
was
,
that
the
heretyke
Manicheus
,
had
fowen
dissention
amonge
the
chrystians
.
O
Lorde
haue
we
not
had
thy
scrypturs
brent
in
curdayes
?
Yf
we
aske
wynchester
and
London
/
they
wyll
laye
,
yea
:
yea
,
and
so
say
I
to
:
But
ye
may
beleue
me
,
I
was
very
heauye
when
I
heard
of
it
.
yea
/
and
as
heauye
as
they
are
now
sory
that
they
be
printed
agayne
.
But
thankes
be
to
the
lorde
,
our
kinges
maiesteacute
;
may
go
farther
wyth
hundreth
pounde
in
printing
,
then
constantine
might
haue
done
wyth
thre
thousand
pounde
in
wrytynge
.
For
the
lacke
of
bokes
caused
the
bysshops
of
Rome
and
his
ayders
to
preuayle
in
all
counsels
sence
the
fyrst
:
Yea
and
in
all
the
xxiij
.
scismes
past
/
to
rule
all
thinges
as
they
wolde
,
and
to
make
what
they
wolde
,
and
discalow
what
they
wolde
.
But
in
this
,
the
xxiiii
.
scisme
or
deuision
I
trust
the
bysshope
of
Rome
and
all
his
Papistes
shall
be
ouerthrowen
through
that
word
of
GOD
,
which
by
the
prynt
is
aboundantly
spredde
abrode
in
all
Chrystendome
.
A
worke
which
God
neuer
opened
to
man
,
sence
the
worlde
began
tyll
the
yeare
of
Chryst
.
M
iiii
.
c.

which
in
that
yere
was
opened
to
one
called
Iohannes
faustius
in
the
Cytie
of
Magunce
or
menth
in
Germany
.
Wherfore
let
vs
giue
god
thankes
&
reioyce
that
he
hath
sent
vs
,
in
these
our
dayes
,
that
science
wherby
al
those
that
loue
the
lyght
maye
haue
the

,
for
alytle
charges
/
I
meane
the
worde
of
God
who
is
the
Aucthour
of

By
whose
lyght
,
the

Wherfor

the
Aucthour
of

that

So
