ane I / & of that filthy priapish confession which ye 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.

M. neuer man had grace to spie that before tyndale. T. yes very many. For many nacions neuer receaued it. And the grekes when they had proued it and sawe the bawdery that folowed of it / put it downe agayne. For which cause and to know al secretes and to leade the consciences captiue / the pope falsly maynteneth it.

M. what frute wold then come of penaunce? T. of youre iugglynge terme penaunce I can not affirme. But of repentaunce wold come this frute / that noman that had it / shuld synne willyngely / but euery man shuld continually fight agenst his fleshe.

Repentance [1531]

M. He teacheth that the sacrament hath no vertu at all / but the faith only. T. the faith of a repentynge soule in Christes bloude doeth iustifie only. And the sacrament stondeth in as good sted as a lyuely preacher. And as the preacher 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
