And when he triumpheth a litle after / as though
all were wonne saynge / if oure old holy doctoures were
false and their doctrine vntrue and their miracles fayned /
let them come forth and doo miracles them selues and proue
oures fayned. Sir / ye haue no doctours
that did miracles to stablish youre worshepynge of images
and so forth. Youre doctrine is but the opinion of
faithlesse people / which to confirme the deuel hath wrought
moch sotilte. And as for the
miracles done at sayntes graues and at the
presens of reliques / as longe as true miracles endured and
vntyll the scripture was autentickly reaceaued / wher done
to confirme the preachinge that soch saintes had preached /
whyle they were alyue. And therto the miracles
which witches doo / we confounde not with other
miracles /
But with scripture we proue them not of god /
but of the deuel / to stablish a false fayth and to leade
from god / as youre doctrine doeth. And likewise where we
can confunde youre false doctryne wyth autenticke and
manifest scripture / there nede we to doo no miracle. We
bringe gods testament confirmed wyth miracles for al that we doo / and ye ought to require no moare of vs.
