I only learn to die in reading of the new testament and am ever now and then praying unto my god / that he will be an helper unto me in time of need.1

Seeing you are so obstinately set against the mass / 1that you affirm / because it is done in a tongue not understanded of the people / and for other causes / I can not tell what / therefore it is not the true sacrament / ordained of Christ / I begin to suspect you / that you think not catholicly of baptism also. Is our baptism which we do use / in a tongue unknown to the people / the true baptism of Christ or no? If it be / then doth not the strange tongue hurt the mass. If it be not the baptism of Christ / tell me how were you baptised? Or whether ye will (as the anabaptists do) that all which were baptised in latin should be baptised again in the English tongue.

Is oure baptisme which wee do vse / in a toūge vnknowen to the peple / the true baptisme of Christ or no? If it be / thē doth not the straūge toūge hurte the masse. If it be not the baptisme of Christ / tel me how were you baptised? Or whether ye will (as the anabaptistes doe) that all whiche were baptised in latyn should be baptised againe in the English tounge.
