and christ is gods. If my faith be stedfast in the promises
that I haue in Christes bloud / I nede but to praye mi
father in Christes name and he shall send me a legion of
angels to helpe me: so that my faith is lorde ouer the angels
and ouer all creatures to turne them vn to my
soules health and my fathers honoure / and maye be subiecte
vn to no creature / but vn to gods worde in oure sauioure
Christe only. I may haue no trust therfore in the saintes.
If ye saye / ye put no trust in them / but only put them in
remembraunce of their dutie / as a man desyreth his neyboure to praye for him / remembring him of his dutie /and as when we desyre our brethern to helpe vs at oure nede. That is
false / for ye put trust in all youre ceremonies and all
youre holy dedes and in
whosoeuer disgyseth him selfe and altereth his
cote from the comune facion / ye and euen in the cotes of
them that be not yet saintes / aftir youre doctrine.
