Whosoeuer happeneth upon thys book, if he loue god beter than man, et the Kynges hyghnes better then the bysshopes fals hypocrisi, let hym gyue it to the Kyng, that he may rede it before the bysshopes condemn it.

he is persewed after / and by thys hole i saw a great sort of lambes bones about the altare I saw certen prestes that wer almost ladē with lamb skinnes / with tales and peces of other bestes skin̄es also / I saw also myche gold syluer about the fox hole whiche thyng made me meruel the les when i heared afterward that the prestes so mantfully māteyned the fox Therfore i thynk uerely that the fox is in that hole / i dout not but that i shall ether find hym in the bisshoppes miters or ellis in thys hole or perchance in bothe After that i haue found out thys rauenyng and mākillynge fox i trust most victorios prince that ye will folow kyng Salomō in ponysshynh of hym / kyng Salomon took Ioab a murderer the capitane of of hys fathers warres / from the altare put hym to dethe suffered not the sāctuari to saue hym So i trust that if thys fox be foūd euē on the hye altare vnder the chalice in as myche as he is a murderer that ye will not suffer hym to haue any sāctuari or place of refuge and sukker theyr But now let us begin thys forsayde huntynge Hoo ye lordly byschoppes ye Clean fyngred gentle men of the clergi is not the fox of rome other wys called Papa among yow if ye say that theyr is non suche among yow / wher is the fox the pope whiche had wont to be among yow / ye cānot deny but that he was once among yow / tell me where is he now If ye say that he is dryuē out of Englōd / i will not be leue yow for i saw blode lately of hys sheddyng in London stretes / I saw lately many peces of skinnes about the hie altare in the quere / I here dayly both men and wymen cōplanyng that by thys bestis meanes theyr children and frendes ar put to dethe wherfore i reken for all your saynge / that he is not dryuen out of the realm / but that ye haue Deceyued the Kyng whych cōmanded yow to driue / hym out of the realm / and that ye haue changed and scraped out hys name so kepe hym still If ye thynk that thys be not true / tell me what was that foxes name in English that ye banisshed / was it the Pope ye cannot deni but he that ye shuld haue bannisshed was called the pope If i fynde not that same pope still among yow / that the Kynge commanded yow to bannishe out of Englond i shall gyue yow leue to call me the falsest man that euer spak with tong Frist to begyn with all what was the pop that the kyng cōmanded vow to dryue out of England whether was it the Popes person / or the Popes purse that had wout to receyue our mony in england / or it was the Popis doctrine whyche besyde all other deuelishe decrees holdeth the falsely vsurped pour ouer all Kynges kygndomes If ye say that the pope whyche the Kynge commanded yow to dryue out of England was the popes person / hys flesh blode and bones / depositis mitris mi lordes ye lie For what neded the Kyng to set men to dryue that mannes person out of hys realm that neuer Cam in it If ye say that the Pope that the Kyng commanded yow to dryue out of England was the Popes purse alon / I thynk that ye haue so bannisshed the pope as certayn vndersheriues and baliues take theues cast thē in prison Whyche if they catche a sely pore thefe that hathe but stollen an old nag not worthe xix pence cast hym in pryson lade hym withe yrones make hym be hanged But if they take a lusty thief lykly to bryng them mo prayes / with a budget or ij with a good purse / they take hys purse away from hym and hys budgettes and send hym furth to stele agayn do hym nomore harm but that they take hys purs frō hym / And if any men say to theym where is the tall felow that ye tok yisterday / they auswerwe took hym but of suspicion / he is suche a lordes seruāt ther fore we durst hold hym no louger / Haue ye not after thys manere dryuen away the pope tell me i pray yow If ye say that the popes purse was the pope that the kyng commanded vow to dryue out of Englond / or hys name alone / ye sklandre the Kyng and make hym be euel spokē of in all other realmes / And if ye say thes wordes / the pope that the kyng cōmanded us to preache against to dryue out of Englōd is nothyng ellis but hys name alone hys bottumles beggyng bagges / all they that haue red the kynges actes will say tyat ye be false liers Then the pope that the kyng cōmanded yow to dryue out of Englōd / was not the popis person whiche neuer cam in to Englōd / nether hys name a lone / nether hys purse alon / and the kyng cōmanded the pope to be dryuē out of Englōd / whether was it the popes doctrine learnyng or no / that the kyng cōmanded yow to dryue out of Englond If it be not hys learnyng what other thyng can it be If ye say that it was not the popes learnyng and ordinances ye run in daūger of treason / for in sayng so / ye say that the kyng wold not haue the popes falsly usurped pour bannisshede out of the realm / whiche a mong all other deulysh doctrine ordināces of the pope / is on pestilent popishe ordinance Ye be uery loth to graūt that the popes doctrine and traditiones was the pope that the kyng cōmanded yow to dryue out of Englond Howbeit ye must ether grant that / or elles say that the kyng commanded not at all the pope to be dryuen out of Englond For what other thyng is theyr left to be the pop that the kyng commauded yow to dryue out of Englond / sauyng hys doctrine seing it was not hys person / nether hys name alone / nether hys purs alon Then muste nedes the Pope / that the Kyng commanded yow to dryue out of Englonde be the Popes doctrine and traditiones Ye nede not to be ashamed to call the popes doctrine the pope For it is a receyued maner of spekyng in thes dayes among scolares and hathe bene receyued of long tyme bothe of hethen and holy writers / to call a mannes doctrin or book by the name of hyme that made it If ye ax a scolare of Cambrydge what is red in the Philosophi scholes he will answer / Aristotel If ye ax what is red in the humanite scoles he will answer and say Terence / meanyng by Aristotel and Terence the doctrin and bokes whiche Aristotel and Terenc made The prophane writers haue a prouerbe he hath not torn Aesop wherby they mean not Aesopes body but hys doctrine / and hys fables whiche he made /
