If ye have forsaken the Faith,1 ye were Baptized in, if ye be gone from the faith, which S. Eleutherius Pope and Martyr the first Apostle of Britain preached in this land,2 by Damianus and Fugatius within little more then one hundred years after Christs death,3 if ye refuse the Faith which Gregory the Great that holy Pope, caused to be Preached to our Ancestors the English nation by Augustinus, Melitus, and other holy Priests, and have thereby dissolved the unity of the Catholic Church, and leave not to maintain the doctrine, whereby the same unity is dissolved: all this presupposed. We see not but that this cry made upon you is true: For then are ye Heretics in deed.
