They have also martyrs which never preached Gods word nether died therefore:1 but for privileges and liberties which they falsely purchased contrary unto Gods ordinances Yea and such saints though they be deed / yet rob now as fast as ever they did nether are less covetous now then when they were a live. I doubt not but that they will make a saint of my lord Cardinal after the death of us that be a live and know his juggling and crafty conveyance and will shrine him gloriously / for his mightily defending of the right of holy church / except we be diligent to leave a commemoration of that Nimrod behind us.
