Gods word may in no wise be translated into English. Oh that our prelates would be as diligent to sow the […] of good doctrine, as Satan is, to […] cockle […] darnel. And this is the Devilish ploughing, the which worketh to have things in latin, and […] the […] edification. But here some man will say to me: what sir, are ye so […] of the Devils counsel, ⟨p. 19⟩that ye know all this to be true? Truly I know him to well, and have obeyed him a little to much in condescending to some follies. And I know him as other men do, yea, that he is ever […] and […] busy in following his plough. I know by S. Peter which saith of hym. Sicut leo rugiens circuit quaerens quem devoret, he goeth about like a roaring lion […] whom he may […]: […]. I would have this text well viewed and examined every word of it. Circuit, […] goeth about in every […] of his diocese. He goeth on visitation daily. He leaveth no¹ place of his cure […]. He walketh round about front place to place, and ceaseth not. Sicut leo, as a […] that is strongly, bodily, and proudly, stately, and fiercely with haut looks, with his proud countenances, with his […] braggings: rugiens, roaring, for he letteth not slip any occasion to speak or to roar out when he […] his time. […], […] goeth about seeking and not sleeping, as our Bishops do, but he seeketh diligently, he searcheth diligently all corners, […] as he may have his […]. He roveth abroad in every place of his […], he standeth not still, he is never at rest, but ever in hand with his plough that it may go forward. But there was never such a preacher in England as he is. Who is able to tell his diligent preaching? which every […] and every […], laboureth to sow cockle and barnel, that he may bring […] of form and out of estimation and […], the institution of the Lords supper and Christs cross, for there he lost his right, for Christ sayd: Nunc judicium est mundi, princeps […] eiicietur […]. Et sicut […] Moses serpentem in deserto, it a […] oportet filium hominis. Et cum exaltatus fuero, a terra, omnia traehom ad meipsum. Now is the judgement of this world, and the Prince of this world shall be cast out. And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lift up. And when I shall be lift up from the earth, I will […] all things unto my self. For the devil was disappointed of his purpose, for he thought all to be his own.

Gods word may in no wyse be translated into English. Oh that our prelates would bee as diligent to sowe the of good doctrine, as Sathan is, to cockel darnel. And this is the Deuelish ploughing, the which worketh to haue thinges in latine, and the edificacion. But here some manne wyll saye to me: what sir, are ye so of the Deuils counsell,
