This much I thought good to say against the suggestion of the devil, when he putteth thee in mind saying: (thy fore fathers are damned) that thou mightest learn not to despair of their salvation: and yet not be to careful, for they have their part: we must not make an account for their doings: every one must make answer for himself. for when they be damned they can not be brought again with our sorrowfulness: let us rather endeavour our selves to hear gods word diligently, and learn the way of salvation, so that when we shall be called, we may be sure of it.
