Printed in the Year of God, 1646.   

THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY.  
IT will seem all together monstrous and unheard of, that a poor woman of a low condition, she being also a stranger should dare present a petition unto your worships the Illustrious and renowned Magistrates and Governors of this City, but having understood the Pious and Charitable Answers which have been given unto those that have addressed themselves unto your worships and how ready always you are to administer justice with judgement, have taken upon me boldness to do it, also knowing that great Monnarches among which we read of an Emperor being on horseback ready to go to wars alighted from his horse to hear the complaint of a poor woman the which we read of in a book called Dorte of Marcus Aurelius Chapter 47. This Emperor although he were a Pagan being near his death called his Son unto him admonishing him unto speedy justice towards all, especially unto women, recommending unto him the cause of a poor woman a widow named Drusia which had a great suit against one of the senate, by reason that at the last distrations her husband was banished, I have great pity of her said he unto his Son, for there are three months past since she presented unto me her petition, but by reason of my great affairs for war I could not declare her justice, and now right worshipful seeing that by the will of God these mournful and unnatural wars are near to an end I hope your worships will be pleased to vouchsafe so much time as to consider my just cause for it is against a senate or consistory and this buissinesse is upon the cause of the banishment of my spouse, I say spiritually nevertheless their power cannot reach further than the sign, but in regard of the thing signified this spouse is entered by faith into my heart, Ephesians Chapter 3 now my humble petition unto your worships, is to desire your worships to grunt unto me, that I may receive the communion among your people to the end I may not be deprived of that visible sign, as by the grace of God, I am not, of the thing signified.  
She most humbly prayeth that your worships, would excuse her for her boldness in presenting this her most humble and obedient petition where by she Demonstrates the Sinister proceed of her elders in their Consistory against her. Jacquemine the wife of M. L. C.   

To the Right worshipful the Magistrates of the City of Canterbury who are lovers of righteous judgement and daily Careful to execute true justice, and to all reverend professors of Divinity and true Preachers of the word of God.  
Jacquemine the wife of Michael the Clercq wisheth all felicity in this world and perpetual happiness in the world to come.  
THe Complaint of a woman happening unto her as it did unto him which was borne blind in the 9 Chapter of S. john, this man being enlightened by Jesus Christ: would not blame him but spoke well of him, for which cause he was cast out of the sinnagogue in the same manner this woman aknowledgeth, to have been blind a long time, I mean of a spiritual blindness but after she was Illuminated she could not endure to hear, that Doctrine ill spoken of by the which she was enlightened, whereof she advised many simple folks, fearing they should be deceived by false and erroneous Doctrine, for this thing she is thereatned to be cast out of the synagogue, which is to say excommunicated, therefore she showeth the cause why they would do her this reproach, and sets forth divers points, which have been preached falsely with hope that God will enable her to maintain them, unto her last drop of Blood.

The Walloons CONSISTORI, AND EXCOMMUNICATION.  
One Cannot write too much  
Read English French or Duth,  
That to God's Laws belong,  
By learning to be able  
And understanding Stable,  
To follow it in Faith strong.  
THe Evangelist; shows us that a woman with great zeal and boldness came into the house of Simon where Christ was with his Disciples, 
joh. 12. c.  and poured out her box of pretions' ointment for the which the Disciples took occasion to murmur but our Lord Jesus although his sacred body had no need of such unction took his share there in and said unto his Disciples, 
Mark. 14. c  why trouble ye the woman for she hath wrought a good work upon me for in that this woman cast this ointment on my body she did it to bury me, 
Math: 26. c 10. & 12. v.  now we that know that our Lord God enlargeth his gi●tes, to whom he pleaseth? 
Luk: 10. c. v. 21. Mat: 11. c. v. 25.  it Lies in his power. And liberty to be served by a woman's means or else by a Child if it be his blessed will buth not with that sort of ointment, but with a spiritual ointment, not serving for burials, but serving for new borne and renewing the poor Christian which is as yet ignorant among us, one may say unto me, it is a ministers charge, it is true but every one must know that he is bound to endeavour himself to advance the Glory of God, without regard of sex age or condition: Our Lord Jesus Christ doth give us that instruction at the 7. Chap. of the Gospel of St. John as is said in the last and great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried, 
37.38. v.  saying if any man thirst let him come unto me and drink, he that believeth in me as the scripture saith out of his belly shall flow Rivers of living water but this spoke he of the spirit which they that believe on him should receive: Can any man excuse himself can we say I believe in Christ and it is enough, no, this Living water must drop from us or else we are not true believers in this we may see the charge which our Lord gives unto those which have received gifts from him to share them unto others I speak not here of those which have charge or government over the Church, but of the duty of those which are peculiar or private, for touching the government of the Church, none ought to insinuate himself therein unless he be called there unto, nor yet speak against it, unless it be with a good and sound judgement, to know if God's word gives leave at the Galatians S. Paul. 
1. Chap: 8. verse.  doth command us that if he himself or an Angel from heaven preach any other Gospel then that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed St. Paul speaks not here of himself only but of all the Apostles when he saith (which we have Preached unto you) having Read, or perused what the Apostles have written I find that there is preached among us an other Doctrine by one of our Preachers or Ministers upon Divers points, but before I come to prove my saying. I will produce the example of a woman at the second book of Samuel when the City Abel was besieged by joab a woman of the said City demanded of him if he would destroy a Mother in Israel some will wonder that a woman speaketh here, 
Chap: 20.19. verse.  but seeing that it concerneth not only a mother, but a daughter and a mother together, I call faith and charity so, for the faith is the mother, and charity is the Daughter, but the daughter is obliged and bound to keep and entertain the mother, and this entertainment cannot be done but by forgetting one's self following as St. John speaketh in his first epistle hereby perceive we the Charity or Love of the son who laid down his life for us, 
Chap: 3.16. v.  and we ought to lay down our Lives for the brothers, hereby we see, that it should be destroying the mother and the daughter to cause Charity to begin at ones self as one will make us believe, this is the first point, yet hath he others that are very dangerous and strange, as when he doth preach that we must bear with the wicked until such time that God gives him repentance wholly contrary unto the Doctrine of St. Paul, who commandeth expresty to put away from among you the wicked person Corrintians first epistle, 
Chap: 5.13. verse.  is it not a lamentable thing when he doth preach unto us that God was angered against his Son, altogether against the section of the 10 Sunday als Sabbath of our Catechism, if Father had been angered against the Son it must follow that the Son must have been a sinner, 
Isaih: 53. c. v. 4.  a doctrine contrary and Erroneous against the stay of our faith, our God was angered against the charge that his Son hath taken upon him to wit, our sins, I speak now of the 4 point upon the Natures of our saviour Jesus Christ, he hath preached unto us two natures but not three, and being assembled with the people to examine those which were to answer touching their faith they were warned, to keep themselves from them which attribute 3 natures unto the Son of God (as if it had been an execrable thing) this happened by reason Another Minister through his great prudence and knowledge for the safeguard and salvation of the people, had made a distinction and difference touching the nature of the soul and that of the body I speak not touching the divinity for I believe, there is not such an Atheist among us which would deny it, but I speak of the nature of the dying body, and of the nature of the soul scuffleing and striving without Dying those that will either deny th'one or th'other put themselves in great danger of their salvation, for we must have had the one and the other to be fully redeemed, he doth preach unto us alsoe that one must confess all kind of truth altough it should be against ones own honour upon pain of eternal damnation, yet God's word doth give us knowledge what kind of truth we must confess, a truth for the advancement of his Glory and the good of our neighbour, alsoe when charity doth require it, but there is such truth that would be hurtful if it wear known, and also the word of God doth forbid it this cometh near the Oricullar confession, we have understood in one of his prayers that our sins do offend God but they do not endanger the king, 
Chap: 12.25. verse.  against which we read in the first book of Samuel the Prophet warneth the people saying but if ye shall still do wickedly ye shall be consumed both ye and your king, I will yet set down a thing, which unto my thinking is blasphemy in saying that God is a Robber, 
Chap: 1.21. verse.  Job useth an other manner of speaking, in saying the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away blessed be the name of the Lord, in the Proverbes the wise doth show us that he that robbeth the poor & afflicted the Lord will plead their cause and will spoil the soul of those that spoil them, 
Chap. 22.23. verse.  by which words he doth give us to understand that the wicked shall not remain unpunished, and as such measure with he measureth he shall be like as wise measured with, but shall our God be called a Robber therefore, hath he not at his command, both the Robber and their Robberry, without being called by that name a fearful thing to understand these are the points which I have put forth to the end one should not mistake owns self so I will end and return to my beginning which is unto the good deed of the woman because it derived from thence that Judas took occasion to commit his abominable deed if on these days a woman should commit or do a good deed it should not be the cause that Christ should be betrayed, 
Mark: 14. c. v. 10.  for he is no more subject unto such treason neither could that miserable Judas do it for he is in his place, it should be the woman then, that should bear the punishment, but what should be that punishment, even the privation of the Sacrament and afterward excommunication, but all this is not hurtful unto the faithful soul, the corporal hand will find some hindrance therein, but I will say with an Ancient Father. wherefore makest thou thy teeth and mouth ready, believe only and thou shalt eat Christ, it shall be the faith then, which shall benefit herself therein, I say that poor faith although weak and feeble being sustained by the spirit of fortification will be ready for this action, she will keep her 2 hands clean the one to receive Christ unto her and the other to give herself unto him those two hands will have as much freedom as that which did write upon the wall, I have here written what I have said if one doth say more they are false accusations but one must have patience, to these things is the faithful Christian bound, these things have been done unto the green wood what will be done unto the dry, those that do Read this, I entreat them to excuse me until the time of my Excommunication of the which I am threatened and then I will write more if my God doth permit.  
What I have written is not to dishnour the holly Ministeri to whom I am bound in dutiful respect and obedience but I say that the word of God doth command us not to hearken unto the Ambassador that publisheth not the message that his King hath enjoined him. By me the Wife of MICHAEL le CLERCQ.   

The Walloons CONSISTORY and their SUSPENSION.  
COnsidering that my opressions and greevances do increase from day to day by the fury of those that have taken me in hatred without a cause, I would not fail of my promise, because a while ago I had given to understand the occasion of my troubles with promise to write more at the continuation of them, but it seemeth unto some, that what is written by a woman should not be of any value nor credit, because the Apostle in his Epistle to the Corinth: the 14 Chapter doth not permit the woman to speak in the church, the same Apostle in his Epistle to Titus, the second Chapter doth command the Aged woman to give instructions, shall we find here any contradiction (no) the holy Ghost doth not contredict himself, he will have the Aged woman to teach, the Apostle by this word Aged doth not mean the woman shall have any charge or office in the Church (no) but we must understand it is for the age or judgement now being I am coming near the age our poor nature can come unto, I hope that God will give me the grace to follow that command as near as I can possible, but one will as●ke me in what manner I could do it finding myself in such Ignominy and reproach I will make it appear in manner of complaint and lamentation in the second Chapt: of salomon's Song the spouse commandeth to take the foxes that spoil the vines there is a Kind of foxes which are in woods, but they have four feet, 'tis not of those that the spouse complaineth, but she speaks of those that spoil the vines to the end it should bear no good grapes, but even wild grapes what shall when do in this extremity we must have our recourse and refuge unto the true vine dresser as it is spoken in S. john the 15 Chapter, 
Mat. 12. ●. 8.  or else unto the true Heir who hath been dryven out here tofore by such kind of foxes, to the end they might spoil the vine at their pleasure, now to give more plainly to understand the occasion of my lamentation I will bring the complaint of that spouse in Solomon's song the 5 Chapter she being in great misery to find out him whom her heart did loan, I sought him but I could not find him the watch from me they smote me and wounded me and took away my veil from me (she says here the watch) there is much to be considered here, this spouse being called by the name of a woman, in the revelation of S. john the 12 Chapter she is persecuted by the Dragon, but that is not strange, as also so many Martyrs, and likewise women and maids that God hath given them strength and grace to suffer for his name, but this was done by the Babylonians by the watch, those that aught to conducted her in the have seeking out of her spouse, was this woman found in any evil action, in seeking for her whoredom or in any other wicked or scandalous work, no, but this doth bring us unto the consideration of these present times, and well to understand the conformity thereof, we must call those watch, by the name of watching aliter overseers than we shall hear Christ speak in S. Matthew the 10 Chapter and in the Gospel of S. Mark the 13 Chapter speaking unto his Disciples and unto all true Christians in their name ye shall be brought and delivered to their Consistory and they will scourge you in their synagogues and ye shall be hated of all for my name sake, but our Lord and saviour doth say this to give us to understand that it shall not only be the Turk's Pagans or Idolateres that shall torment the true Christian, but alsoe they which are called by the name of Consistory the fury of which folks is yet greater for having understood the rebellion and disobidience of any child, against Father and Mother, they lay hold at the same Justant of that occasion they run they troth to have witnesses or accusations either true or falcse it is all one unto them, so they may have them, o that it wear good for those children if they have received any benefit or money to carry it back again with tears than should we hope a better conversion of life the which I have Desired a long time this now enough spoken of that corruption for they are capable to melt our hearts with the abundance of tears in regard they are entered unto the holly place, now we will return unto the spouse, do you think my friends she hath found him out whom her soul loved, in this equipage and case being beataen wounded and her veil taken away, 
Salomons song 6. v. 1.  ye she hath found him it is here that lieth our comfort and consolation, for all Christians may say the same chiefly those which are persecuted for rightenosnesse sake, unto this present we have spoken but of the crosses and tribulation of beating and wounding but what's all that, seeing the holy Ghost calls it a light affliction at the 8 Chapter of S. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, who shall separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword, as it is written, for thy sake we are Killed all the day Long, we are accounted as sheep for the slanghter nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us will this seem unproper to speak in this kind persecution for among us they do not persecute unto death, but it is more dangerous and closely carried, one doth not close the eyes of those that wear borne blind, but one will blind them spiritually, in casting them out of the synagogue, they will not cut of the ears, but they will stop those that are fittest to hear, you shall not be excommunicated because you are a Calvinist or Protestant but you shall be suspended by reason you will maintain the truth, one shall not Bar your mouth, but you shall be forbidden to speaked if your speech tend to edification, you shall not be subject unto ceremonies, but it may be they will cause you to worship an Idol, what I have written until now, cannot be taken but for a fore warning, in regard of those which seemed among us to be the most forward, touching the points of true doctrine, now seems to stand bacl feareing some rigorous Article, but that Article is contrary unto the Ecclesiastical Discipline, for the Ecclesiastical Discipline is contented with the Key of S. Peter but this Article will have the sword of S. Paul never the less S. Paul would not use it himself, 
Mat: c. 16.8.19.  but he says that it belougeth unto the Magistrate, for my part is seemeth unto me those folks have not been so Ill advised as to fear so much that Article, 
King's c. 13 v. 4.  it is rather that they would sheuwt him selves peaceable and that it seemeth they were called to some disputet, and would not be found there, and wherefore should we dispute might these good folks say we know that our Lord Jesus Christ doth command us that if we bring our gift to the Altar and if we remember that our Brother hath aught against us, we must leave there our gift and first be reconciled to our Brother, 
Mat. 10.5. v. 23.  therefore if we dispute we have aught against our Brother, and so remain, but I hope that at other times they will show their zeal to maintain the truth some fear had fezed them, seeing the rigour that was used towards those which did maintain it, until now, I remain obliged unto the command of the Apostle which I have spoken in the beginning to wit, I direct my speech unto women and do Entreat them not to reject my Instruction seeing the Apostle doth command me, O women have you never read the 4 Chapter of the Gospel of S. john? I pray you to read it heedfully and you shall find a marvellous consolation from the sacred mouth of our Lord speaking unto the woman that was a Samaritane and all others that shall believe in him: you do not find that the Lord misuseth this woman because she took pleasure in his word, but to the contrary he takes occasion to ask drink, of her because he would give unto this woman, the water of life, o good God who would believe such a thing of thine own word should not say so, that thou shouldest confer so friendly with a woman, a woman that was not of his people, she was of a mean condition for she came to draw water she was a great sinner, for the Lord said unto her, thou hast had five husbands and him whom thou now hast, is not thy husband, but above all to be noted, that the Lord said unto her, woman believe me, the woman then ought to believe she ought then to speak when one will wrong her faith, at the 10 Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans the Apostle saith that one believeth of heart unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, the woman alsoe aught to write in such an occasion, It is the practice of a true martyr and also of the feminine sect those poor and weakest vesels having been sustained, and strengthened by him that hath made unto them all that promise, that their enemies are often fled all ashamed and confused, O women seeing then that at this present one will for bid what the word of God doth command, 
Mat. c. 25. v. 9  one will put out our light or lamp let us not suffer it, for at the coming of our spouse we should be without light, let us remember that there is nothing more exalted in the word of God, than the woman's faith, for Jesus Christ speaking unto the woman of Canaan, said unto her, 
Mat. c. 15. v. 28.  O woman great is thy faith be it unto thee even as thou wilt. O what a marvelous thing it is that the Son of God suffered himself to be overcome by the faith of a woman for he hath granted her request, we ought not to find it strange that the Son of God loveth so much that faith, let us rather Worship that infinite love with joy and comfort, let us not be afraid of the greatness of the combats, for the victory shall be so much the more glorious, let us remember that this combat had his beginning ever since the world began, witness that lamentable shipwreck of our first Mother, do you know where this Ancient serpent made his entrance to begin this war, he entered in Eden, that place was the celestial Paradis, there was in that place but Justice and all holiness, 
Gen: 3.2.6.  shall we marvel now that this serpent is entered in our Eden that is to say in the Church, where there is but sin that reighneth, if one will do you any shame it is is because you desire to live in the fear of God I know one doth make some sign as if they would follow the Discipline, the same they do among the Scribes and Pharisees that Renowned consistory did not crucify Christ alone but crucified 2 thiefs with him, 
Mat. c. 2.9. v. 38.  this hath some colour towards the Ill advised and brutal world this is the subtlety of the Devil, to cause more reproach to be done unto the faithful they will find out an evil liver causing them to have like punishment, it is easy to know in what form Satan made his entrance into the Church it is in a human form according as I have perceived, but the worst I can perceive is that he will have his Reign there not only in a Corner but in the Chair seeing hereseiss are to be established, it is now more than time that the faithful should make a cry like unto the cry of the Prophet's sons, according as we read in the fourth Chapter of the second book of Kings o man of God death is in the Cauldron, but we must say oh God death is entered in thy Church o my God may not I say death seeing that by my condemnation I should have defamed a doctrine, but my writing showeth faithfully that I have but only spoken against eronious Doctrine, but not against the true Doctrine. Never the less it is from thence that my condemnation was drawn, then may I very well say death, seeing one must believe in hereseiss to remain in the Church, for him that doth believe in Heresies can hope nothing but death, O lamentable thing to understand, o if that holy woman hath had so much occasion to lament and cry for the taking of the Ark, 
1. Sam: 4. v 19  and for this thing she demanded, where is the Glory, o that we have at this day a great deal more occasion to cry O Lord, for thy Glory is going into Captivity O Hanna Mother of Samuel wherefore didst thou weep so much to have a Son, 
1. Sam: c. 1. v. 19  if thou wert in these present times and that one would hinder thee to be the Mother of the Son of Glory wear it not to say, I am descended into the Gulf, and never the less we are brought unto that extreanuty, that Some says himself at the 3 Chapter of the Gospel of S. Mark and at the 12 Chapter of the Gospel of S. Matthew, whosoever shall do the will of my Father the same is my Brother and my Sister, and my Mother to do thee will of God to be Mother of Christ now all that which is done without faith is sin, than it must befaith which must work this conception. Let us then pray the Lord, that he may give us the grace to the end we may hear that gracious word the which he hath pronounced himself unto that poor woman which was Diseased with an issue of Blood, thy faith hath made the whole.  
O that the Mother of Samuel had occasion to Answer mildly unto the high Priest for he spoke upon her Person, but here the truth is oppressed, o what grief it is unto me to hear the gown spoken of, for I fear that it will be found in this particular full of sin: I hope I shall make it appear in time I pray unto the Lord he may please to be judge and witness altogether. By me the Wife of MICHAEL le CLERCQ in my opression.   

The Walloons CONSISTORY, AND EXCOMMUNICATION.  
Having spoken until now upon their threaten and upon my condemnation, now it shall only be upon my Excommunication, the first news I heard of was uttered unto me with grief and dolour, but their desolation was not for the deed of my cause, which they did know to be very just, but upon him which hath pronounced that unjust condemnation never the less when I understood those words proceeding from a heart pierced with grief, saying it is done it is done, and seeing their pale colur as persons strucken by death I was taken with an inward qualm, but outwardly joyful, umwilling to add more grief unto their Infirmity, but I had alsoe great weakness withim me, in somuch that I found myself like unto that woman which we read of in the second book of Kings, the 4 Chapter, This woman's hunamite being in agony for the death of her Son she said unto the Prophet did I desire a Son of my Lord, did I not say do not deceive me I was in that case at that time, it seemed unto me that God had deceived me, but the Lord by his mercy did not suffer me long thus, for I recovered an other she mate, which is hope of an other woman at the 13 Chapter of the book of judges it is Manoahs' wife, Mother of Samson her husband being frighted seeing the Angel to ascend with the flame, he said we shall surely die because we have seen God, his wife said unto him if the Lord wear pleased to kill us he would not have received a  offering and a meat offering at our hands neither would he have showed us all these things nor would he at this time have told us such things as these, so having received new hope I have revoked my vicious thoughts and submitted myself unto the will of God assuring myself that he hath not deceived me, but hath caused me to see great things, when he hath received the offerings of my soul this makes me remember an other woman. The reason I shall speak of her is because chastity was so much oppressed by the elders judges of the people. This woman is Susanna as we read it, in her History altough it is not Cannonicall yet from thence may be drawn comparisons sit for my cause, for they were elders and judges and the People was subject to obey them altough these Elders wear very wicked touching this woman. But this must be noted that her combat was upon her corporal chastity, and my cause is for my spiritual chastity can one say where this woman was when she was thus assaulted, her History tells us she was in her husband's garden, a like place was. I in according as the spouse of our soul had commanded me at the 5 Chapter of salomon's song, come into my Garden my sister my spouse I have gathered my myrrh with my spice, it is most certain that all the time I have been persecuted by this kind of folk the which I have spoken of by my meditations I did enjoy the pleasure of that Garden, we will leave now the wrongs done unto women, by reason our perticulas hindrance is light unto us, but the wrong done unto the disadvantage of the truth, is in supportable unto us, yet no remedy, here we should have a miraculous work, for the salt hath lost his savour, how can we shalt, any body may see unless he be quite blind that there is here a represensation. of what, our Lord Jesus Christ hath fore told us, in the 24 Chapter of S. Matthew when he spoke that before the great and terrible day of this second coming. The Sun shall be darkened and the Moon shall not give her light, and the Stars shall fall from heaven, now I pray you tell me, if that Sun of righteousness as Malachy calls him in his 4 Chapter, with healing In his wings, could it be more darkened when the truth is taken for an untruth and the untruth for the truth, the Moon can get light unless it be borrowed from that Sun, then must it be darkened, and touching the Stars, must we not say to our great grief that we see them shall from heaven as we have seen some years ago, when our Ministers with the elders have offered our children unto Baal, without the consent of their Father and Mother, and since occasion are carried worse and worse, seeing they will offer the Fathers and Mothers and this they carry in form and manner of Inquisition in forbidding them to maintain the true Gospel, by Excommunications, and it is for that purpose that there are none of Christ's Disciples among us, and if there be any it is as Nicodemus by night or secretly for they think there is too much danger, it was in the same manner of the crucifying of our Lord Jesus Christ the men were amazed and affrighted but their were poor woman that followed him weeping and lamenting, and also at the sepulchre Christ being risen directs his speech unto a woman, for there wear no men to be found. O what an honour is this for us that a woman should be the first messenger of the glorious resurrection of our Lord, they are set by him in such an honourable degree that he makes them to be has if it were the Apostle of the Apostles, one may say unto me, why should one speak at this time of the death of Christ and of his sepulchre for he is in his glory, it is certain, but let us see if his truth is not in such a place, O you conductours of this Church it is you which have placed a great stone at that sepulchers door, so that the truth cannot come out, that stone is your Excommunication, and the weight of it, is your tyrannical act, tear out that Article and cause no more to lament for your poor gouvernment, take again your Discipline which you have put in oblivion, and it doth give you power enough, it commands you to open heaven and to shut it again, by it alsoe may you cast out of your Church the evil livers, and those also which continue in their vices, but yet not those whom God hath given his fear, do not cause the uncircumcised Philistines to rejoice: do not cause the beast to live again, for you must know, that such sort of excommunications comes near unto hers, Remember what happened unto those elders in Susanna's just cause, which I have spoken of, comparing the spiritual unto the corpotall, I hope God will give you the grace to look after these things Amen.  
The woman hath written these things chiefly because the good English people those who have the fear of God should not take her to be Excommunicated but if they should happen to see her receive the holy Sacrament among them, that they should not say unto her as Naomy said unto her Daughter in law, according as we read, in the first Chapter of the book of Ruth: My Daughter return unto thy people the woman would then answer humbly in in mildness as Ruth did, my People is your People and my God is your God therefore send me not unto the People of my nation, for they have forgotten the truth. This hath been done to the great grief of the Wife of Michael le Clercq.
