It is well, that ye use the term of the beginning and proceedings of your Religion. For in deed of late years it began, not at Jerusalem, but at Wittenberg. Neither was it first delivered unto you by an Apostle, but by an Apostate. Still it proceedeth, and the farther of from the end. And well may ye name it your Proceedings, for there is no stay in it. What liketh to day, mislike the tomorrow. The silly beguiled souls that follow it, be as S. Paul saith, over learning, and never reaching to the knowledge of the Truth.1
It is wel, that ye vse the terme of the beginninge and procedinges of your Religion. For in deede of late yeres it beganne, not at Ierusalem, but at Wittenberg. Neither was it first deliuered vnto you by an Apostle, but by an Apostata. Stil it procedeth, and the farther of from the end. And wel may ye name it your Procedinges, for there is no staie in it. VVhat likethe to day, mislike the tomorowe. The seely begiled soules that folowe it, be as S. Paule saithe, ouer learninge, and neuer reachinge to the knowledge of the Truthe.1
