QVaecunque scripta sunt ad nostrā doctrlnam […] sunt, […] thinges that be written, they be written to be our doctrine. By occasion of this text ([…] be norable audience) I have walked this […] in the broad field of scripture and used my liberty, and entreated of such matters as I thought […] for this auditory. I have had ado with many estates, even with the highest of all. I […] of the duty kings, of the duty of magistrates, & judges, of the duty of prelates, and allowing that that is good1 and disallowing the contrary. I have taught that we are all sinners: I think there is none of us all, neither preacher, nor hearer, but we may be amended, and redress our Jives: we may all say, yea all the pack of us, Peccavimus cum patribus nostris, We have offended and sinned with our forefathers. In multis offendimus […], There is none of us all, but we have in sundry things grievously offended almighty God. I here […] of many sautes and rebuked many kinds of sins. I intend to day by God's2 grace, to show you, the remedy of sin. We be in the place of repentance, now is the time to call for mercy, whiles we be in this world: we be all sinners, even the best of us all. Therefore it is good to here the remedy of sin. This day is commonly called good friday, although every day ought to be with us good friday, Yet this day we are accustomed specially to have a commemoration and remembrance of the passion of our saviour […] Christ. This day we have in memory his bitter passion and death, which is the remedy of our sin. Therefore I intend to entreat of a piece of a story of his passion. I am not able to entreat of all. That I may do, that yt better, and that it may be to the honour of god & the edification of your souls and mine both, I shall desire you to pray. &c.
