Prayer is the remedy that never faileth, when all1 other faileth this never faileth. Therefore pray unto God, and he will either turn his hart and make him better, or remove him from thee and send a better in his place, or else take him away all together. So will the Lord do with any other oppressor of then poor, either he will turn their hearts, and make them better, or else remove them and take them quite a way. Therefore let men […] patient and suffer, and pray unto God for […] from their troubles, and not think to remedy it them selves, but pray to God, and he will remedy it. Pray I say, and take patience, and you shall see the Lord will in due time remedy it. There be many that turn this text2 clean contrary. For they yield to Caesar that which is Gods, and to God that which is Caesars. They had money enough to build Monasteries, Chantries, Masses, year days, Trentals, to gild images. &c. And all this they did (say they) to honour God with.
