spirite present in hys church / to teach them all trouth / as he promised them. I answere / god sofereth not his church to be disceaued: But he sofereth the popes church because they haue no loue vnto the trouth / to liue after the lawes of god / but consent vnto all iniquite / as he sofered the church of Mahomete.

All youre sayntes be first saintes when they be deed and then doo first miracles / to confirme tithes & offerynges & the poetry which ye haue fayned / and not true doctrine. For to confirme what preachynge doeth Saint thomas of canterburie miracles? He preached neuer ner liued any other life then as our cardenall / and for hys mischeue died a mischeuous deeth. And of our cardenall / if we be not diligent / they wyll make a sainte also and make a greater relike of his showe then of the others.
