Mark (gentle reader) how small occasions this man taketh hold at, contrary to his promise, to serve his intemperate humour of speaking evil. What, thinketh he, that all folk are Heretics that name the days otherwise, then they be named in his Portuise? So may he soon condemn the Greeks, and (the Church of Rome only excepted) all other Christians throughout the world: who, as I reckon, never had the name of Passion Sunday in their Calendar, or use of speaking. So may he condemn all such as call Parasceve Good friday, or the Italians, that contrary to the Portuise call the first week in Lent the Carnevale. In deed the Portuise calleth that day not only Passion Sunday, but also the Sunday, Judica, 1and taketh the one name to be as Catholic, as the other. God be thanked we are not ashamed of Christs Passion, as having nothing to glory in but only the Cross of Christ,2 and his Passion: neither do we refuse your fantasies because they be Catholic, as you surmise, but because they be your own, devised by your self of late days, many of them contrary to Gods holy word, and are not Catholic.
