In deed our charity is such, as we confess it to be a grief unto-us, to see you play the part of rebellious children, to use presumption for submission, contempt for obedience, spite for love. Yet sith that ye are desperate and incorrigible, as by your departing from us the Church felt some anguish and trouble, so now that ye are gone, it is relieved, as the body is eased, when after a purgation it hath avoided evil humours. Now say you best.
