As for us truly, we have fallen from the Bishop of Rome, upon ⟨p. 723⟩no manner of worldly respect, or commodity. And would to Christ he so behaved him self, that this falling away needed not: But so the case stood, that onlesse we left him, we could not come to Christ. Neither will he now make any other league with us, then such a one,1 as Nahas the King of the Ammonites would have made in times paste with them of the City of Jabes, which was, to put out the Right Eye of each one of the Inhabitants. Even so will the Pope pluck from us the Holy Scripture, the Gospel of our Salvation, and all the Confidence, which we have in Christ Jesus. And upon other condition can he not agree upon peace with us.
As for vs truely, we haue fallen from the Bishop of Rome, vpon ⟨p. 723⟩no manner of worldly respect, or commoditie. And would to Christe he so behaued him selfe, that this falling away needed not: But so the case stoode, that onlesse we leafte him, wee coulde not come to Christe. Neither wil he nowe make any other league with vs, then sutche a one,1 as Nahas the Kinge of the Ammonites woulde haue made in times paste with them of the Cittie of Iabes, whiche was, to put out the Right Eie of eche one of the Inhabitantes. Euen so wil the Pope plucke from vs the Holy Scripture, the Gospel of our Saluation, and al the Confidence, whiche wee haue in Christe Iesu. And vpon other condition can he not agree vpon peace with vs.
