loue thy neyboure as thy selfe doeth teach wemen to baptise in tyme of neade: ye and to teach and to rule there husbandes to / if they be besydes them selues.

And when he saith that of likelyhode / the laye people vnderstode the gospell of Ihon and Paules pistles better then greate clerkes now. I answere / the moare shame is theirs. How be it ther be .ij. causes why: the one is their diligent sheringe: and a nother / they denye the iustifienge of faith where of both Paule and Ihon doo entreate and all most of nothynge else / if the significacyon of oure baptime which is the lawe of god and faith of christ / were expounded trulye vnto vs / the scripture wolde be easye to all that exercised them selues there in. And sir in as moch as the prelates care so litle for the losse of the vnderstondynge of the scripture and to teach the people / how happeneth it / that they care so sore for a bald ceremonie / which the significacion lost / though christ him selfe had institute it / we coude not obserue with out a false faith & with out hurtynge of oure soules?

And finally to rocke vs a slepe with all / he saith / that he shall neuer spede wel / that wil seke in the scripture whether our prelates teach vs a true faith / though ten preach ech contrary to other in one daye. And yet christ for all his miracles sendeth vs to the scripture. And for all Paules miracles / the Iewes studied the scripture the diligenterly / to se whether it were as he saide or no. How be it he meaneth / that soch can not spede wel because the prelates will burne them excepte M. More helpe them and make them forswere christ before hande.
