The Pope and his Bishops say / that it is not mete for us to know it / they make it heresy and treason to the king to know Christ or his laws / they have digged cisterns of their own traditions / and have stopped up the pure fountains of Israel. Oh / lord / in whom is all our trust / Come down from the heavens / why dost thou tarry so long / seeing thine adversary thus prevailing against thee?
