It had been a good deed to cut of their crowns by their necks to the ensample of all other. Therefore (I say) these questmongers had need to say: Our father which art in, heaven; Thy vvill be done For truly it is marvel that this realm sinketh not […] to hell headlong, what perjuries, swearing, cursing is every where in every corner? Therefore (I say) we had need to pray earnestly, that gods will may be done. And we should be con1 tent to lose our lives for righteousness sake. For he that loseth his life for because he will not agree to the […] of god, he seeketh that gods will may be done. Happy is that man, for he findeth his life, he loseth it not. For Christ will be his keeper.2
