Miserable man which could find no better company: and in miserable case, when he cannot be upholden by other means than by treason. But most miserable are they which through his wicked persuasions are content to cast themselves, and to seek how their country may be brought under the subjection of foreign enemies, into bondage and misery. So doth he lose and set at liberty the consciences of men, and flattereth the wicked in their ungodliness, as if his dispensation should be their excuse.

It is an old saying, Caveat emptor, let him that buyeth take heed. What colour soever the Pope setteth on his merchandise, let the buyer take heed of ⟨p. 107⟩them. We have called God to record unto our souls: our conscience standeth charged. If we commit perjury, God will avenge it. If we resist the power, we break the ordinance of God, and then we receive to our selves damnation. Let us therefore be wise and circumspect. As for Pope Pius word, it is no warrant for us against the judgement of God. In the day of the Lord, when we would call him forth for our discharge, we shall not find him. He is not able to warrant himself.

We haue called God to record vnto our soules: our conscience standeth charged. If we commit periury, God wil auenge it. If we resist the power, wee breake the ordinance of God, and then we receiue to our selues damnation. Let vs therefore be wise and circumspect. As for Pope Pius word, it is no warrant for vs against the iudgement of God. In the day of the Lorde, when we woulde call him forth for our discharge, we shall not finde him. He is not able to warrant himselfe.
