spew in the eare wherwithe ye exclude the forgeuenesse that
is in christes bloude for al that repent and beleue therin /
and make the people beleue that their sinnes be neuer
forgeuen vntyll they be schryuen vn to the preste / and then
for no nother cause saue that they haue there told them and
for the holy dedes to come which the confessoure hath
enioyned them moare profitable
ofte tymes for him selfe then any man else.

iustifyeth me not / but my fayth in the doctryne: euen so
the signe iustifieth not / but the faith in the promise
which the sacrament signifieth and preacheth. And to preach
is al the vertue of the sacrament. And where the sacramentes preach not / there they haue no vertue at all. And sir we teach not
as ye doo / to beleue in the sacrament or in holy
church / but to beleue the sacrament
