And Luke / xiij. When they showed Christ of the Galileans / whose blood Pilate mingled with their own sacrifice: he answered suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all other galileans / because they suffered such punishment? I tell you nay: but except ye repent ye shall like wise peresh. Thus was told Christ / no doubt / of such an intent as ⟨image 33⟩they axed him Math. xxij. Whether it were lawful to give tribute unto Cesar. For they thought that it was no sin to resist an heathen prince:1 as few of us would think (if we were under the turk) that it were sin to rise against him / and to rid our selves from under his dominion / so sore have our Bishops robbed us of the true doctrine of Christ. But Christ condemned their deeds and also the secret thoughts of all other that consented there unto saying: except ye repent ye shall like wise perish. As who should say / I know that ye are within in your hearts such as they were outward in their deeds / and are under the same damnation: except therefore ye repent betimes / ye shall break out at the last in to like deeds / and like wise perish / as it came afterward to pass.

I tel you naye: but excepte ye repēt ye shall like wise peresh. Thus was told Christ / no doute / of soch an entent as ⟨image 33⟩they axed him Math. xxij. Whether it were lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar. For they thoughte that it was no sinne to resiste an hethen prince:1 as few of vs wolde thinke (if we were vnder the turke) that it were sinne to rise agenste him / and to ryd oure selves from vnder his dominion / so sore have oure Bisshopes robbed vs of the true doctrine of Christe. But Christe condemned their dedes and also the secret thoughtes of all other that consented there vnto sayenge: excepte ye repēte ye shall like wise perishe. As who shuld saye / I knowe that ye are within in youre hertes soch as they were outwarde in their deades / and are vnder the same damnacion: excepte therfore ye repēt betymes / ye shall breake out at the last in to lyke deades / and lyke wise perishe / as it came afterwarde to passe.
