dayne / not to put trust in the water or to praye in that place / but to wonder at the power of god and to come and beleue / as he also did. And that his bones / when he was deed / reysed vpp a deed man / was not done that men shuld pray to him: for that was not lawfull then / by their awne doctrine / nether to put trust in his bones. For god to avoyd all soch Idolatrie / had poluted all deed bones / so that whosoeuer twitched a deed bone / was vncleane and all that came in his companye / vntyll he had washed him selfe: in so moch that if a place were abvsed with offeringe vn to Idoles / there was no beter remedie then to scater deed bones there / to driue the people thence / for beinge defiled and poluted. But his bones did that miracle / to testifie that he was a true prophete and to moue men vn to the faith of his doctrine.

And even so miracles done at the holy crosse / were done / to moue men vn to the faith of him that died theron / and not that we shuld beleue in the wodde.

He saith that pilgrimes put no trust in the place / as necromancers doo in their circles / and saieth he wotteth not what / to mocke out the texte of our sauioure of prayenge in the spirite. And in the ende he confoundeth him selfe sayenge /. we reken oure prayers moare pleasaunt in one place then in a nother. And that must be by the reason of the place / for god is as good in one place as in a nother and also the man. Morouer where a man pleaseth god best / thither is he most bounde to goo. And so that imaginacyon bindeth a man to the place with a false faith / as nicromancers trust in their circles.
