Be not careful (sayeth Christ) what ye shall say, before Judges and Magistrates, when ye are brought afore them for my names sake, for the holy Ghost shall put in your minds even at the present hour, what ye shall speak.
Be not carefull (sayeth Chryste) what ye shall saye, before Judges and Magistrates, when ye are brought afore them for my names sake, for the holy Ghoste shall put in youre myndes euen at the presente houre, what ye shal speake.
A comfortable saying and a goodly promise of the holy Ghost.

That the aduersaryes of the truthe (sayeth he) shall not be able to resyste vs, what? shall the aduersaryes of the truthe be dumme? naye, there 〈…〉 no greater talkers nor bosters and sacers then they be.

But he that preached the last Sunday, spake very well in it, and substantially, and like one that knew the estate and condition of the Universities and Schools very well. But thus much I say unto you Magistrates. If ye will not maintain Schools and Universities, ye shall have a brutality.
