Yet a course at the romish fox.  
☞ A disclosing ☞ or opening of the Man of sin, Contained in the late declaration of the Pope's old faith made by Edmonde Boner bishop of London. whereby wyllyam Tolwyn was than newly professed at paul's cross openly into Antichrist's romish religion again by a new solemn oath of obedience, notwithstanding the oath made to his prince afore to the contrary.

¶ A preface to the Christian Reader.  
Since the worlds beginning (dear friend in the lord) hath iniquity had his froward course, and schall so have still to the latter end thereof. In 
job. 4. 2. Pet. 2. judae. 1. Genes. 6.  the very angels or spretes of heaven ded god find an untoward stubbornness and an obstinate crookedness. what he hath had in the ungodly children of men since the days of Cain till this present age, it were moche to write. Of that was sometime the church of Christ, hath it made the synagogue of sathan ever since that adversary was set at large after 
Apoc. 2. job. 2. Apoc. 20. judae 1. Math. 7. 2. Pet. 2.  the thousand years, and somewhat afore whose malignant members under title of a spiritualty are always filthy who remongers, murderers, thieves, raveners, idolators, liars, dogs, swine, wolves, abominable workers, adversaries to god, and very devils incarnate.  
Of whose cursed cruel number one, is 
Apoc. 9 Math. 7. Prove. 26 Psal. 143.  Edmonde Boner now bishop of London, a very fierce furious angel of the bottomless pit, as his daily fruits declareth him. specially this declaration of his here following, whom he maliciously enforced wyllyam Tolwyn the person of saint antonynes openly to proclaim before the audience at paul's cross the year afore this to the terror of their tymerouse consciences and confusion of 
Sap. 17. 1. Thes. 5. 1. joan. 4. Apoca. 9  their souls. Mark the doctrine therein contained, and prove the spirit and vain thereof by the scriptures, and ye schall find it no less than the filthy foaming smoke of the insatiable chaos or pit without bottom. Neither is god therein sought, nor yet any godliness. For in 
God is not herein named once, but to condemp nation.  the whole process is not he ones named but to condemnation. I think sens cristes ascension was not such a monstrous thing scene as it is, thus offered to the people for a necessary doctrine of faith. No, not under the most wicked tyrants. 
antichrist is not all out of England.   
In the most pestilent time of papistry was not such a perverse profession made unto Antichrist's ragged rules, as this is here, if it be thoroughly weighed. I have red diverse recantations made in johan Wycleve'S time of phylyp repyngdon, 
Thomas waldenus i fasciculo heresium.  johan purvey, richard with Nycolas herforde, harrye crompe, wyllyam swynderbye, Robert rig, walter dash, johan hunteman, Thomas britwell and other, but non such as this is, neither so foolish nor yet so devilish. 
Gala. 1. 1. Cor. 16. Acto. 15.  Saint Paul holdeth him accursed of god, that teacheth any other doctrine than the gospel, or the sacred scriptures of the Bible, though he were an angel from heaven. Moche more must he be accursed than which ministereth nothing but wickedness. 
Math. 15. Gala. 4. Esa. 1. Dani. 14. Amos. 5.   
Nothing is here taught but the doctrines of men, the beggarly traditions and dirty dregs of the pope, as holy water making, procession going, sensing of Images, and latin wawling in the temple, with other like filthy fantasies, which are soche vain worshippings as God doth abhor. 
No sin punish the papists with such extremity.  And with tyranny are they here extorted, by open rebukes and shames of the world. Of so many traitors as the bishops and priests have known, of thieves, manquellers, idolators, whoremōgers, swearers, and sodomites, never brought they one yet to Paul's cross there to do open penance. But for sekyn ge to have the verity sincerely preached 
Enemies to the glory of god  according to the wholesome commandment of Christ and the king, was this poor man ponnisshed before all the city and enforced for the same to proclaim himself an heretic. 
sabellicus Platina et joan nauclerus.   
Even such an other part hath my lord of London played here with Tolwin, as Dioclecianus played with Marcellinus the bishop. For like as he compelled him openly to renounce Christ, and to do sacrifice to the Idols after the heathen manner. So doth my lord here constrain Tolwyn to forsake his verity and swe are to the observation of papistry, which 
Act. 4. Marc. 8. joan. 1. Luce. 12. Math. 10. Apoc. 3. 1. Tim. 5.  is of the same stinking leaven. To deny Christ (which is all one with his word) before men, hath he most cruel lie enforced this poor innocent man so putting him in danger of his denial again before his eternal father, which is everlasting damnation, be he not the more merciful unto him. For If he believeth that denying the verity with mouth on lie, he is out of that apparel of soul so lon ge as he still retaineth it in his heart, he 
Eusebius cesariensis et Epiphanius.  is sore deceived as were the helchesaytes against whom wrote both origen and Epiphanius the bishop of salamine in cypress, confuting that opinion oft hers as a most detestable heresy.  
There covenant with God (saith saint 
Augustinus super psal. 118.  Austyn) do not they observe, but be cometh therein unfaithful, which for avoy ding persecution goeth back from his true testymonyes. Moche after this sort 
Antonius auerarius sermo. 34  recanted Theodocyon the ephesiane, con fessing with the hebyonites and jews christ alone to be man, after that he had▪ godly interpreted the scriptures. And in thus doing he thought himself also discharged in conscience, for that he ded it of fear, and because he therein named not god. Many are now in england which walk under these subtle shadows, 
Like conneyaunce nowin england.  but if they think so to avoid the danger of god's indygnacion, they sore deceive themselves. Sebastianus the holy martyr persevinge Marcellus and Marcus two brethren at that perilous point of 
Antonius auerarius sermo. 42  their souls destruction, offered himself unto the death to hold them still stead fast in the true christian believe, lest they schuld so have perished for ever.  
When james the less was settup at hieru

And therefore hath it been an honour 
Eusebius cesariensis  unto him ever since, besides his everlasting reward with God. where as it is to them that renounce it, perpetual shame and confusion. In the primative church 
Canon's concile niceni & platina.  were they put to penance among the unbaptysed believers, that had in persecution forsaken the truth, and were not received again unto the christian communion, but after great repentance and prayer. Nolesse plague limyteth the scripture unto than that so cowardly recanteth 
Apoc. 3. Luce. 12. Mat. 10. Marc. 8. Luce. 9 Mat. 25. joan. 12.  than the racinge of their names out of the book of life. He that is ashamed of me (saith Christ) and of my word in this adulterous generation before men, of him will I be ashamed before the majesty seat of my eternal father, what schuld ye fear them that slay the body, when they can do no harm to the soul?  
Woe be to you shrinking children 
Esa. 30. Os●e. 7. Abdye. 1.  (saith the lord) which seeketh help at the power of Pharaoh, and comfort in the shadow of the Egypcyanes'. Both schal pharao's help be your confusion, and the shadow of Egypt your utter shame Hieremie was a strong wall of steel, yet was he stoned unto death. johan baptist 
Here. 1. Luce. 1. Marc. 6. Math. 14. joan. 8. joan. 15.  was great before the lord, and full of the holyeghost from his mothers won be, yet was he beheaded of Herode. Christ gave his own life for the truth of his word, and promised his disciples non other reward of the world but death for the same. An honour is it to suffer for righteousness, and a glory of immortality. 
Eccle. 4. Sap. 3. 2. Tim. 2.  Non schall be crowned (saith saint Paul) but he that lawfully striveth. The nature is (saith saint Hierome) of these wretched tyrants, to constrain 
Hierom. in quadam homelia.  the poor innocent souls to deny Christ's verity before men, that they might lose that crown and be dampened.  
Never man hard any of them yet 
1. Cor. 15. Gala. 1. joan. 8. Ephe. 4.  recant with Paul, though their generation hath for the more part been murderers, so hath the lord given them up into most deep errors of the spirit.

And I trow they schall find iustyces a broad fit for their hands, in case the heretyques speak any thing against them.  
I trow master Wharton of bongaye 
Wharton a greatup holder of trayterose priests  in sooth folk will not be behind with his part now, no more than he hath been a fore time, with his college of calkers that calked so long for Cromwell, and for other more if the world had not changed to their minds. The holy ghost thus deluded and the princes godly commandment 
1. Thes. 4. Mat. 3. Hiere. 50. 3. Reg. 18.  set all at nought, the lord will not fail to raise out from among the trodden stones in the street or contemned multitude some earnest Helias or faithful child of Abraham to touch their abominations. I am (I know weal) most simple and weak learned of a great sort. Yet will in the quarrel of this poor Israelyte, 
Hebr. 11. Apoc. 19 Exod. 2. Ephc. 6. Hebr. 4. Apoca. 1.  this natural country man of mine, and fellow servant of jesus Christ, with Moses invade this proud stranger and cruel Egypcyane. Non other weapon will I take here, but the sword of the spirit (which is the word of the eternal living God) with the most auctorysed histories and chronicles, and with them will I strike him to the ground, so leaving him there in the sand.  
An whole year have I tarried and more, 
Moche confession, but no true amendment of life.  to see if any amendment would come for this outrageous blasphemy age ynst God, he going so oft to confession, and I perceive it will not be. For since hath he been moche worse than afore. I see we'll now, that do bishops neverso many mischiefs, in their Benedicite rekenynges

I have for that purpose given myself 
Suffer must he that will live in Christ. Psal. 115. Credidi, propter quam locutus sum &c.  over unto poverty, and unto a painful exile with my wife and children, and schall not (I trust) refuse the death also, if it come that way. For so necessary is it now to suffer for Christ's doctrine as in the apostles tyme. For why, alone verity is it that was than persecuted and now. Many hath already in the steadfast believe of David, spoken liberally and hath been grievously troubled for it. With stomach have they rebuked the world, and showed men of their filthy errors. They have remembered God for his benefits and have been heavy to see them abused. Wherefore they have received the cup of salvation, calling 
Calicem sa lutaris et c. Preciosa in conspectu.  upon the name of the lord. Performed have they there promise unto God, in the presence of his people. precious in the sight of the lord was the death of those his holy witnesses, which they suffered there for his sake.  
And I trust there be yet many more

To see how diversly men do seek themselves now, it is a wonder, not caring what wickedness they minister 
Them selves doth men seek and not jesus christ.  Easy it is to perceive, what hath brought these men to the gospel, and what fruits they seek thereof. Nothing do they else in such presumptuous entripryses, but withstand the pleasure of God for their own filthy lucre and damnable devyly she pleasure. The time is now come, wherein God will disclose the strong delusyon of antichrist, though all they say nay to it,  
Some men doth look that the self

Only schall the lord with the breath of his mouth, or spirit of 〈…〉 destroy that mighty levia than, as he by his apostles and prophets hath specified afore. Like dust in the wind schall he scattre from the earth that deceitful generation of hypocrites

Apoc. 6. 2. joan. 5.  of the earth which schall in these days bring their glory and honour rightly to the new city of God (as some hath done all ready) shall show themselves faithful ministers, and seek his glory in that behalf. But they schall not perform this. For it may be none act of man by his promise. Only is that wonderful conquest over the enemies of God reserved to his word, and so ougth it only thereat to be looked for. The lord commanded johan his elect apostle 
Apoc. 11. Gal. 4.  in measuring the temple, to seclude from it as no portion thereof, the chaste cell of charmers. Wych is by the judgement

Cor. 6.  of his word, to separate from his true congregation, those spiritual sorcerers of Sodom and Egypt. without (saith he) are dogs and enchanters, filthy wurkers and manquellers, idolators and liars. Than was this in mystery spoken, now schall it be actually fulfilled, as I have in more ample wise upon the Apocalyps declared it, whom I have called the Image of both churches.  
For non other cause have I named this 
The man of sin.  book here of Boner, The man of sin, and the gloze there upon made, his disclosing or opening, but for that it containeth nothing else but a spiritual wickedness, 
Ephe. 6. 2. Thes. 2. Dani. 12.  and is therefore so called also of saint Paul, and for that the other by many clear manyfestatyons declareth the same. In many places of the scripture is man a name of contumely and reproof, of vanity 
Psal. 115. Psal. 61. Eccle. 12. Psalm. 38 1. Cor. 3.  and falsehood. All men (saith David) are liars. The children of men are deceitful. All is but vanity (saith Solomon) all is but a fickle vanity. A universal vanity is every living man. Are ye not carnal (saith Paul) are ye not

By cause that I therefore trying this book

I much rather desire mercy (saith the lord) than offering, the knowledge of God than burnt sacrifice. This text of Oseas and Matthew was very far of from my lord Boner, when he set up a commandment in Paul's a against Bible reading, for the time of their romish rablementes.

What is the religion of your church 
The church of england holdeth fast the pope's leavings  in england at this day, but the pope's dirty leavynges, the filthy dregs of his rotten vessels, and the cankered rust of his old worn pitchers. Surely he that schall compare your church to the church that Christ left schall find them so unlike as chaff to wheat, and clay to silver. As in a mirror is that to be scene in this most devilish declaration of Boner, to the wondering of all christian

I think verily he is that two horned beast which Christ showed unto johan boanerges his dearly beloved Apostle in mystery, that schuld rise out of the earth.

No surely, unless christ hath now of late changed his former promise, and is now become a speaker against himself, which is so unpossible as he not to be God. If they have persecuted him,

Whether it be for that they were many in number which than accused him, or be cause they are accounted honest men for their goods falsely gotten or in that it pleased his Good lord ship so to accept them for their old faiths sake, let the diligent reader judge. Soche allowance of catholic witnesses and records against heretics, for 
Christ was also thus served.  the upholding of holy church, is no new thing, if ye search the scriptures and histories. For they that accused Christ for a malefactor, a supporter of sinners, a devyly she person, a subverter of the people,

Act. 3. Marci. 14. joan. 16. Act. 4  and knaves. So soon as the Apostles began once to preach after Christ's ascension, by such ghostly children of holy church were they accused and con pell to make answer in the spiritual court of the jews.

Than were it more meet that my lord stood there than thu. For of these fruits and such other, he hath moche more store than thyself hath, as it is easy to perceive by this process. If it be for not observing the commendable rites, ceremonies, and customs of holy church, as is said afore. Than ought my lord also to suffer the same self punishment, 
Ancient rites and laudable ceremonies of holy church.  for not going about with saint Nycolas clerks, for not hallowing pelgrimes to Jerusalem and Rome, for not sensinge the plows upon plough monday, for not roasting eggs in the palm ashes fire, and for not singing Gaudeamus in the worship of holy Thomas Becket, with such other like, which were sometime more laudable ceremonies, than either saturday procession or yet holy water making upon the sunday. But my lord doth here moche

For Tolwyn is here commanded from hence forth neither to preach nor to teach, upon such pains and penalties as are due to heretyques, which is no less than burning in smythfeld, or hanging in the lollars' tower at midnight when men be a sleep. Woe is unto me (saith saint Paul) or damnation

The words of Tolwis voice are my lords.  Full heavy was he in his heart good soul, to give him the utterance of them, if he might otherwise have chosen. But he must needs forth (they say) that the devil driveth, be he never so unwilling.

And what meant my lord in this matter? That the people schuld judge Tolwyn an horrible heretic, and that they schuld thereby be ware of such naughty heresies against holy church. But what were the 
heresies not known but to the bag  heresies? Nay, that we can not tell. For they were fast shut up in a bag, and might in no wise be scene. The fathers in the primitive church confounded always their heretyques with the open testimony of the most evident scriptures, and not with the shaking of books in a bag. Yea, than was than, and now is now. Than were they called heretics that spoke against God. But now is there none heretics

For if the books were scene and the articles throughly

It is Enough for my lord to say, there be errors 
The kings true subjects abused.  in the bag, though he never bring them forth. And it schall become all the kings true subjects to believe it, under the pain of hanging or else burning. For why my lords quarrel in this, is the kings quarrel. There is now non heresy but is also treason (as it was in

Philippus Melanchton compiled the first.  whose manifold erudition the best learned of christendom greatly commendeth. This treatise of his, is an only christian institution for the bringing up of you thee, teaching them the commandments of God, the articles of the christian faith, the lords prayer, and the right use of the sacraments. I wonder what my lord me aneth to condemn these for heresies.

Vrbanus Regius made the second.  Vrbanus Regius, a man also Chrystenlye learned and of a sincere living?

NOt yet have we done with these books,

For he in so doing depriveth the people of that life which is in him, and so sleeth their souls, holding them still captive in sin. Always hath my lords generation been thus rebellious against the lord and his word. As we have for example in the old law, the false priests which compassed Hieremye the prophet, and in the new law the spiritual prelate's that sought Christ's death. If this door of holy scripture be a treatise, than had it been more wisdom for my lord to have christianly reproved the errors thereof (in case 
A tittle offering moche godliness condemned.  there be any) and not to condemn such a clear perfect tittle as offereth nothing but godliness. I think either his wits are not his own or else he is drunk with excess of the Babylonyshe cup of his holy mother.

And so much the more necessary to a preacher that is but meanly learned, that within a small compass they contain moche christian erudition. But my lord admitteth nothige that perteieth to that office. He careth

He thinketh that four times in the year or ones in a quarter is enough for preaching, and therein only to declare the kings acts concerning ceremonies and tithes in stead of the pope's sentence of cursings which now is worn out. If they jyst to preach any other thing else, they have yet there old festival, mammotractus, Gesta roma norum, Sermons discipuli, Sermons dormi secure, Rationale divinorum, Manipulus curatorum, postilla guilhermi, and diverse other more, which are ancient works allowed of holy church. They have also a famous new work called Ioh Eckanius postyll, which battelleth for

Num. 24▪ 1. reg. 26. joan. 11. Lucae. 6. 1. cor. 12.  and Cayphas were wicked persons, yet doth not the scriptures condemn there true prophecies. What these men are their fruits schall declare. For no man can say that jesus is the lord (which my lord hath not yet uttered in all his process) but in the holy ghost. And as for my lords thinking, we remember in Isaiah that 
Esay. 5 & 55.  they which hold darkness light and light darkness, have thoughts and judgements full unlike to the thoughts and judgements of God. They say they do well (saith Micheas the prophet) when they labour to shed blood and hunt their

Augustinusi hypo gnostioc versus finem.  he to the pelagyanes) because your best be love or free will, whom ye have so much commended, hath conceived lewdness, engendered sin, and brought forth death ye constytute god the author of sin. Ye call both him and his apostle a tempter of

But saint james cleareth this, saying. That man is tempted, drawn, and alured of his own concupiscence, which is now handefast to your fire will. The gentiles (saith chrysostom) undyscretelye noteth 
Chrisostomus Hom. 4. super joannem.  christ a destroyer of the people, for that he called them with so moche gentleness and not brought them in by compulsion. What are these else, but the fruits of men's wisdom and blasphemous fantasies? The scripture saith that God commanded Semei to curse David. He reserveth 
2. reg. 16. Prou. 16. Esa. 54. 3, reg. 22. Rom. 1. Eccl. 11. Amos. 3.  the wicked unto an evil day. He maketh the waster to destroy. He promiseth to be a dying spirit in the mouth of all false prophets. He hath given men up to their hearts desire to work uncomely things. Good and ill, life and death cometh all of the lord. Is there any plague (saith Amos) or my shape in a city, that is not of the lordesdoing? with such other more. And schall we say for these, that he is the author of sin? No, God

For all 
There money sacricesare not in them commended.  they are in these books most earnestly desired. Marry in deed the good works that might make to the filling of your spiritual purses, are not there greatly cared for and that is the cause of your great anger.

When dissolve you ungolye promises? when hunger you for the right ousnesse of God? abstinence from meats maketh us not Gods servants. For than were the devil most holy, which never eateth nor drinketh. The fasting that ye 
Math. 6. 1. Tim. 4. Eusebius in histor. Eccl. 11. 5. ca 16. 17. ●. 18.  call upon doth Christ name hypocrisy, and saint paul the doctrine of devils. Montanus a perverse heretic was the first that made the laws of compulsion in fasting, whom you still occupy to this present day. against whom at the same time wrote Melciades, Appolonius, and Serapion with other notable fathers, and therefore, ye had need to condemn their books also, The cause now why ye take such pains in this matter, is to hold up (if it may be) your lent made by pope The

See you to it that such ware fall not to the ground for breaking, A wonderful thing is it that you (whose god ysyour belly) 
Phil. 3. Baptista man●●●nus aeglo ga. 1.  doth call so moche upon abstinence. No men doth less occupy it than you, which daily stuff your paunches to the very vomit. No man can make us believe, ye would ever take such pains, were there not more profit to be had upon the calling on than upon the observation thereof. Saint Paul saith, that 
Rom. 14. 1. Cor. 8. Hebr. 13. Act. 11.  the kingdom of god is not mere and drink, but peace and joy in the holy ghost. Good is it (saith he) not to stablish the heart with meats, but with grace.  
3 And as concerning prayer, who is more against it than you? which hath clearly changed the right use of it into a brawling in the temple and a bleting in the streets, in a foreign speech and in the

Soche a benefactor are ye to fasting, prayer, and alms deeds, that ye cando such miracles yet. Ye can murder the living saints, and make ye advocates of them that are dead, though their ends 
Ambrosi us in epis tolam ad Roma. 1.  were doubtful. Ye can damn them for heretyques, and set up the other for saints. Ye can burn the bodies of the living, and deck the graves of the dead for advantage.

A gentle woman confessed there to a priest, and enjoined to fast and pray in the church, was in the time of her penance constuprate by an holy deakon, which took great pains there in the saint wary, to observe the vow of chastity. And therefore upon the peoples

But I will that thou obey the prophet which saith, Show unto the lord thy way. Peter mourned and wept (saith saint ambrose) because he erred as a man, but I find not what he said. I know that he wept, and I read of his tears, but I read not of his satisfaction. What have I to do with men (saith saint Austyn)

The old doctors are against ear confession.  sentences are there innumerable among the old doctors both greeks and latins, I marvel therefore that my lord doth not bag them up and condemn them at paul's cross.

But if he be a blasphemous and unlearned papist (as the most of them are) we ought to shurne him as the most noyful poison. For in them hath confession been a sure hold of conspyrycye and treason this five hundreth years and more, as all the chronicles witnesseth.

Henricus agrippa doth testify that a certain bishop boasted at his table, that he had in his diocese a xi thousand priests, which paid yearly a french crown a piece for whore keeping, besides the

Marriage of bishops detested most of all.  of all, and that doth most earnestly move you. And that is the marriage of priests.

It is lately fallen from a Sacrament to a ceremony.  sore how it now becometh but only a ceremony, and was sometime one of your sacraments? Surely ye have conceived some displeasure against it now of late. And I think it is for that ye have known priests gone so fast unto it within few years, contrary to your holy decrees and canons, to the destruction of your Sodom and Gomor, which ye 
Sodom and Gomor destroyed by marriage.  have gloriously maintained ever since the days of Anselme four hundreth years and more.

Prestre● rather mar than make in marriage  where as you are no meddlers, if ye make a difference between wives and virgins. For wives they are before they come there, else are they made now by you. The lord hath knit them together afore in one mutual knot of love, Which you have no more power to knit again than ye have to dissolve it. As for grace and the holy ghost whom 
priests will give that they have least store of.  ye pretend therein to dispense, little need have you to give them from you, having so small store at home. Never saw I men so full of those gifts and so rydye to give them, having so few of them in there own living. He that made the band afore hath plenty of them with 
Math. Gene. 2. Eccl. 18. Psal. 83 Prou. 12. Eccle. 3.  out you. At his hand must they needs be had, and not at yours. The couping of them in the face of the congregation despise we not, but greatly allow upon many considerations necessary, were it godly done, as there is nothing clean in your hands. notwithstanding all this, in marriage and out of marriage we would call them a chaste virgin, as 
2. Cor. 11. Esa. 57 Ezech. 23  Paul doth the corryntheanes, were they clear from the adultery of your romish laws and customs. But that will not be in your days.

Neither ought they to decree any thing against Gods honour. If they do, than this rule of the lord must be observed. Necessary it is rather to obey God than man. And so ye ought to tell them. But who child there. Rather set ye them a work than stay them, when such things are in doing like old tempting serpents. Mathathias

The article of the eucharisty in both kinds.   
3 In the end of this article, ye condemn these books for admitting both kinds in the eucharisty unto the lay people (as you name them) though they be unto Christ more holy than you which hath the pope's unctions. Whether you be the heretyques or they that made the books, let Christ be judge. He earnestly commanded

Saint Paul in like case writing a law of christian living unto the Corintheanes (which were lay men and no priests) commended both kinds unto them, like as he had of the lord received, and you make laws of death for it. In the wicked counsel of constance was it

Bonner foolish. Eckius obstinate.  idolater, and papyst than any that I can hear of else. Though master Eckius be a very obstinate adversary to Christ and his word, and an unshamefast captain of antichristes wars, yet is he not so foolish Turrian idolater, as to allow

The author examined upon saints worshipping.

In the time of that examination was there an old doctor which greatly lamented (as my lord doth here) that he might no longer make invocation to saints, and thought himself half lost for it, good doctor Downes standing by and smiling at his foolishness. Unto whom the archbishop said these words. Speak not (saith he) of invocation concerning saints. For that respecteth a peculiar worship only due unto God. And with that the man was pacified, and argued no farther. So that I can se non agre with my lord here in this opinion, unless they be blind dastards and asseheades, as this old doting fool was. This is yet somewhat worse 
What the pope's hath granted unto saints.  than is the pope's doctrine. For though pope Sergius gave them shrines, Theodatus churches, Felix holy days, Gregory veneration, Honorius praying to, Leo hymns and psalmody, johan vij pycturs, Constantyne Images and tabernacles

Theodorus wax, Stephanus sensing, and Alexander holy water, yet uva there non of them all that ever gave them honour under the tittle of invocation.
