But loke on the werkes of oure spiritualtie which wyll not
only be iustified with werkes before the world / but also
before god. They haue had all christendome to rule this
.viij. hundred yeres / and as they only be annoynted in the
heed / so haue they only bene kynge and emproure and haue
had al power in their handes and haue bene the doers only
and the Ieders of those shadowes that haue had the name of
princes / and haue led them whother they wolde and haue
brethed in to their braynes what they listed. And they haue wrought the world out of peace and vnite and euery man out of his
wellfare
and are become alone well at ease / only fre / only at
liberte / only haue all thynge and only do nought therfore /
only laye on other mennes backes and beare nought them
selues. And the good werkes of them that wrought out of
faith and gaue their goodes and landes
to finde the pore / them deuoure they also
alone. And what workes preach they? Only that ar to them
profitable and wherby they raigne in mens consciences as
god: to offer / to geue to be prayed for and
to be deliuered out of purgatory and to redeme
youre synne of them / and to worshepe ceremonies and to be
shryuen and so forth.
