I would you had that little book there should you see how much is to be given to unity.1 S. Paul when he requireth unity / he joineth streyght withal / Secundum Jesum Christum / accordyng to Jesus Christ / no further. Diotrephes now of late did ever harp upon unity / unity. Yea Syr (quod I) but in verity / not in popery. Better is a diversity / then an unity in popery. I had nothing again / but scornful gieres / with commandment to the Tower.

Yea Syr (quod I) but in veritee / not in poperye. Better is a diuersitee / then an vnitye in poperye. I hadde nothinge agayne / but scornefull gieres / with commaundement to the Tower.

But admit there be in the mass that peradventure might be amended / or at least made better / 1yea / seeing you will have it so / admit there be a fault / if you do not consent thereto / why do you trouble your self in vain?2 do not you know both by Cyprian and Augustine that communion of sacraments doth not defile a man / but consent of deeds.
But admitte there be in the masse that perauenture mighte be amended / or at leaste made better / 1
