M. The constitucion of the bisshopes is not that
the scripture shall not be in englysh / but that no man
maye translate it by his awne
auctorite or reade it / vntill they had
approued it. T. if no translation shalbe had vntill they
geue licence or till they approue it / it shall
neuer be had. And so it is al one in effecte to
saye there shalbe none at all in englysh / and to saye /
tyl we admitte it / seinge they be so maliciouse that they
wil none admitte / but fayne al the cauellacions they can /
to proue it were not expedient. So that if it be not had
spite of their hertes it shal neuer be had. And therto / they haue done
their best to haue had it enacted by parlament / that
it shuld not be in englysh.
