Ye lean to the favour of secular Princes, whom by flattery, and Heresy ye may deceive. Crake not of your great knowledge,1 nor of your light. O be to them, crieth our Lord in Isaiah, that say, good is evil, and evil is good: that put light for darkness, and darkness for light. Your demeanour is so evil, your Doctrine so false, your tongue so railing, that we take your word for no slander.
