to their deseruinges And he that spake y e same to Ierusalem speaketh it to yow aÌ„d to all Cityes that committe like iÌ„iquite as ye do And whether ye haue serued y e Disciples of the Lorde like as ded the Cytezens of IerusaleÌ„ their Prophetes Iudge your seifes ande ye shall se that ye haue shed more bloud theÌ„ euer ded that moste synfull Ierusalem euen of theÌ„ that taught you Gods truth Well I can no more but beseche the Lord God that he wyll geue suche grace to some that in the time of hys wrath he maye finde .x. ryghteous persons in this Cytie whereby the wrath and veÌ„geauÌ„ce of God may be turned from it which is lyke to come shortly vppon vs or vppoÌ„ our childeren for our sinnes oure forfathers For we haue deserued a M. tymes more plages theÌ„ euer ded Tire SidoÌ„ or Sodoma Gomora ware it not for y e great mercy of God I thinke we had fouÌ„de it so or this tyme. For we haue an example of these Cities they be written for oure learninge to auoid such vices Yea no doubt the vices coÌ„mitted in y e oh LoÌ„don are as euell as euer ware in any of y e foure Cyties afore named And surely I thinke yf they had herd y e prechiÌ„g y t hath bene iÌ„ LoÌ„don this .xiiii. or .xvi. yeares past y t they had repeÌ„ted and â—orsaken their Iniquitye For I saye vnto youe that the gospell was neuer more siÌ„cerelye preached in the tyme of the Apostles then it hath bene of late in London Nor neuer more Godly exposicions vppoÌ„ the scripture and that a greate nombre whereby to drawe vs to Christ Iesus For why the same sprete euen the very holye Ghoste whych spake in the Apostles hath spokeÌ„ in meÌ„ now to vs. But alas as the Prophete sayth Esay xxix we haue eares heare not eyes see not See ye not nor yet perceiue ye how the blynde Prophetes haue led you euen now in our tyme Haue ye not slayne the seruauntes of the Lorde onely for speakynge agaynst y e autoritye of the false Bysshoppes of Rome that moÌ„struouse beast whoÌ„ now ye your selues do or shuld abhorre I meane all his lawes beynge contrary to Christ not his body yet ye se y t a fewe yeares past ye breÌ„t them for heretiques abhominable which preatched or wrote against his vsurped power now it is treason to vphoulde or maintayne any parte of his vsurped power aÌ„d he shal dye as a traytoure that so doth well worthy So saye I vnto you there shalbe yet thinges preched vnto you and ye shall be instructed by wryters of thiÌ„ges which ye be not yet able to beare and whosoeuer preacheth or writeth it if the Lorde defend him not out of your handes he shall dye for it aÌ„d yet out it will at y e leÌ„gth though all the deuelles in hell saye naye to it and so shalbe reformed Ande euen this followyng is one of y e chefest thiÌ„gs Oh ye Cytezens wyll ye neuer geue your selfes to the readynge pf the scripture whereby ye maye knowe the lawe of the Lorde to avoyde the euerlastynge damnacion which is ordayned for the deuell aÌ„d his angels Wyll ye euer be ignorant of Godes coÌ„maundemeÌ„t Exodi xx saynge I will haue none other Gods in my syght and that ye neyther bowe your selfe nor serue any thing as God y t is in earth benethe or in heauen aboue or in the water vnder the earth And do ye not yet se how thys whore of BabyloÌ„ hath altered the supper of the Lorde which was iÌ„stituted to haue y e blessed passion in continuall remeÌ„braunce for a perpetuall memorye of thankes geuinge which we shuld receiue with all reuerence and meaknes of hert geuinge thaÌ„kes vnto God onely for y t benefyte which we haue receyued obtayned through Christes dethe which this supper sygnifyeth and that we beleue as verely as we eate the breade driÌ„k y e wine which norissheth y e body is seane with our corporall eye spiritualli representeth the very body of Christ euen so verely as we haue tasted eateÌ„ seen this holy supper or SacrameÌ„t of thaÌ„ks geuinge euen so verelye to beleue y t Christ dyed for our sinnes and that his bloud onely hath pacyfied the fathers wrathe and so hath sett vs at peace with God For he hath payed y t which laye not in me nor in no man but onely in hym that was bothe God man and by none other meanes myght maÌ„ be redemed and so to aknoweledge y t he is dead hath shed his bloude for our synnes is rysen for our rightwysnesse Thus I seynge my synnes buryed in Christes woundes must euer more be thankfull to y e euerliuiÌ„g God onely And thus to eate his blessed body and to driÌ„ke his bloude spiritually in fayth is Gods institucyon Math. xxvi Marc. xiiii Luc. xxii.i.
