¶ Sarum.
YE say ye remain still in the faith ye were baptised in. O ma•ter doctor, stand not to much upon that point. Ye know ye have already forsaken a great number of things that were thought necessary when ye were baptised. And yet besides that, how many times have sum of you altered your faith within the space of xx. years. Remember well your self1 who wrote the book, de vera obedientia, against the supremacy of Rome?* Who commended it with his preface?* Who set it forth in solemn Sermons?* Who confirmed it with open oath?
