of that thynge whych is present it selfe AS touchynge this matter IOHAN fryth y e seruaūt of the LORDE whome ye ād youre False Prophetes haue burned whose bloude with others cryeth vengeance agaīst your Bysshoppes He I saye hath writē Inuyncibly in this matter whose worke I exhorte all those whiche fauoure the free passage of the gospell vnfaynedly to reade ād to studie For it is agreing to the touchstone of Gods worde ād to the olde aunciēt doctours As appereth by the same boke of his Ande I exhorte you in Gods name yf there be anie Chistian printer in London to prynte moo of those workes for there can neuer be to many of them Feare not man although death followe seīg Christ saieth he that loseth his lyfe for my wordes sake shall saue it Mathewe in the .xx. chapter And considre that neither Winchester nor London nor the rest of the Bisshoppes the vesselles of Gods Iustice without repentaunce haue no power to destroie but y e bodie onelye wherfore feare them not But feare hym onelye that can kyll both bodye and soule as apereth in the same .xx. chap. For if thou wilt liue godly in Christ thou must neades suffre persecutiō And truly he is not worthy to be a membre of the body that will suffre no dysplesure with the heade Therfor blessed are they that suffre persecucyon or anye trouble for ryghtousnes sake that is for Christes sake And in this matter I saye w t the sayde Iohan fryth that it is no pointe of our dampnaciō nor saluacyon If I beleue it not it dampneth me not But to haue the absēce of the benefyttes of his deathe and passiō in my hert may be cause of my dampnacion and in beleuynge of the sayde benefytes of ande through hys dethe shalbe my saluacion beinge repentaunt for my synnes But one thynge I will tell the and marke it well for it is trewe Though thou beleue he is there lyke as Antichrist and like his petye membre standish saythe ande so worshippe it as God I tell the that it is damnable For thou arte commaūded in the fyrste Table of y e cōmaundementes y t thow shalt not worshippe anye thynge y t is made after anye symylitude or lykenes that is in heauen or earthe as I haue afore sayde God is asprete ād wilbe honored in sprete and veryte I saie your blynde bloudy Byshoppes or rather butchers dishonour not onely the Sacramēt but the God of al Goddes also in mynystrynge the same And so do all prestes that other sīge or saye the popysh masse which they call a sacryfyce and therby wold haue Christes bodye daylye crucyfyed where as he offred vp his holy body vppon the crosse for our synnes ones for euer ande neuer shalbe offred agaī whyle the worlde endureth but hath instituted the holye supper or Sacrament of thankesgeuynge as afore is sayde to put vs in contynuall memory of that oblacion ād sacrifice y t we shulde beleue our sinnes to be forgeuen onely for Christes sake through his death ande so to be thankfull whych holye thynge as ye se is tourned into a popyshe masse and is to the people a domme yea no thīg els but a deade ceremonye Wherfore I will exhort all prestes that wylbe of Christes congregacion to fle and geue ouer that abhominable massinge which is a blasphemy to Christes bloude in that they make of it a sacryfice What sacryfice can y t be where no bloude is shedde Wherfore in Christes name all yow I saye that wolde be of Christes churche forsake thys whore w t all her abhominable rables ande rather begge with Christ then welthelye to lyue with the prestes of her God Beell and feare not but God shall prouyde both clothyng and foode sufficient for the bodye Considre the lylye dothe not spynne yet was Salomon neuer so gorgiouslie apparelled Mat. vi Who clothed the lilie ded not our heauenlye father clothe it And be not ye worth manye sparrowes Well then we se that pure heauēly father both clothed fedde all creatures and shall not he also clothe and feade yowe which seke his glorie trust only in him Yes yes doubt not And surely ye cā not remaine as ye do but ye muste be partakers of ther Idolatrye Perchaunce thou wilt saye I could be cōtented to liue porely to followe Christe but I feare the Byshoppes blessynge which is a fayre fyre Set afore the y e deth of Christ for prechynge his fathers will ād before hym the Prophetes ande after hym his Apostles and at this daye hys chosen seruauntes ande consydre as afore is sayde that the deuyllyshe Byshopes the vesseiles of Godes Iustyce can but destroye the bodye onelye that God will rayse it vp agayne at the great daye of y e Lorde euen as he is rysen And considre that alwayes it was the Bysshoppes ād the hyghe prestes y t put Christ and hys Apostles and his chosen seruauntes to deathe And by theyr deuellyshe sedusyng euer blynded the Prynces and other head rulers to geue ther consent ther vnto Math. in the .xxi. ande in the .xxvi. chapter O ye Babylonyshe Bisshoppes and generacion of Uipers where haue ye your auctoryte or how dar ye be so bold to kyll a man for his faith whych Christ neuer ded nor hys Apostelles For it is a gyfte which no man can eyther geue an other or yet hym selfe No no it is the gyft of God onely Ande that must be geuen a man before he can eyther do or thynke goode For all y t is done without fayth is synne Roma in y e xxiiii and Hebre. xi No nor ye put no man to death for Christes sake but for y ● that no man shuld either preache teache or wrytte Chryst aryght which he can not do but he shall by force be constrained of the holye Ghost to wryte agaynst your pompe pryde vyle lyuinge and agaīst your abhomynable sedusing of the people leadynge them in an endlesse mase of dyrtye tradicions and folyshe ceremonyes And why cannot a man set for the Christ but he must write agaynst yow Euen bycause ye be the verye Antichristes No I saye it is not possible for anye man sent of God either to preache or wryte but he must open hys mouthe agaīst that moost wycked abomynable and detestable Antychryst of ROME as agaynste the enemy of Chryst which be you false Bysshops false Prophetes that beare the false signe of the new lawe the olde lawe with stoute stronge and sturdie Archedeacōs Deanes ād Chanons of Cathedrall churches and other your pyty membres prestes of Baall Ande he that openeth not his mouthe agaīst you cā not truly set out Christ and that is the cause why ye seke theyr deathes Ye bewytch Kīges other rulers and turne theyr laboures I meane the laboures of y e seruaūtes of God whyche crye against your Iniquytie sayīg they teache sedycyon and cause rebellyon against the higher powers Oh ye chylderne of Satan all y t
