That we be accursed Creatures, & like the Giants do war against God him self, and live clean without any regard or Worshipping of God.
That wee be accursed Creatures, & like the Gyauntes doo warre against God him selfe, and liue cleane without any regarde or Woorshippinge of God.

What ye be, God knoweth, and your own Conscience should know. Our Lord amend both you and us. But to say some what to that your guilty mind imagineth the World to report of you, if they which take away and abhor the external Sacrifice, wherein Christ according to his own institution,1 is offered to his Father, make no war against God: if they which make Christ a Minister of Shadows, Signs, Tokens, and Figures: they, which fear not to break their solemn Vows made to God, and defend the same as well done: they, which assure them selves of their Salvation, and therefore live dissolutely without due care and fear of God: If (I say) they be not cursed Creatures, and like Giants that war against God, then are ye clear of this charge.
