Except the Lord help me ye say / Truth it is. For without me (sayeth he) ye can do nothing / much less suffer death off our adversaries / 1through the bloody Law now prepared against us. But it followeth / if ye abide in me and my words abide in you / ask what ye will / and it shall be done for you. What can be more comfortable? Sir you make answer your self so well / that I can not better it. Sir I begin now to smell what you mean by travelling thus with me. You use me as Bilney did ones when he converted me / pretending as though he would be taught off me / he sought ways and means to teach me: and so do you / I thank you therefore most heartily. For in deed you minister armour unto me / whereas I was unarmed before / and unprovided / saving that I give my self to prayer for my refuge.
Except the Lorde helpe me ye saye / Truthe it is. For withowte me (sayeth he) ye can doo nothinge / moche lesse suffer death off our aduersaries / 1through the bloudye Lawe now prepared against vs. But it foloweth / if ye abyde in me and my wordes abyde in you / aske what ye will / and it shall be done for you. What can be more comfortable? Syr you make answer your selfe so well / that I can not better it. Syr I begynne now to smelle what you meane by traueling thus with me. Yow vse me as Bilney dyd ones when he conuerted me / pretending as though he wold be tawghte off me / he sowghte wayes and meanes to teache me: and so doo you / I thanke you therfore moste hartely. For in dede you minister armour vnto me / wheras I was vnarmed before / and vnprouyded / sauinge that I geue my selfe to prayour for my refuge.
