But there are many who can especially testify, how often this hath been spoken by that good and faithful servant of Jesus Christ our good brother Farel, whose name only hath more feared them, then ever the Devils did, whom they conjured with their holy water, or yet with bell book, and candle. Wherein, God hath showed his great power, condemning by the Judge, these seducers as malefactors, ⟨p. 36⟩even in their own consciences, and hath put them into the hands of the Lord chief Justice both of heaven and earth. No doubt of it, out priests had never more need of these cautels, then at this present they have, considering how fearful and amazed they are, being no whit at all persecuted. Howbeit they have good cause so to be. For, it giveth their kitchens a vile blow. And besides, there ensueth a worse matter hereon then so, because they are not able as they would, make their kitchen fire burn so bright as might roast those which go about to put it out, being next cousin German to the fire of Purgatory, wherewith they seeth, roast, and bake, all that they eat, at the cost and charges of the poor souls which lye there toasted and fried.
But there are many who can especially testifie, how often this hath bene spoken by that good and faithfull seruant of Iesus Christ our good brother Farel, whose name onely hath more feared them, then euer the Deuils did, whome they coniured with their holy water, or yet with bell booke, and candle. Wherein, God hath shewed his great power, condemning by the Iudge, these seducers as malefactours, ⟨p. 36⟩euen in their owne consciences, and hath put them into the handes of the Lord chiefe Iustice both of heauen and earth. No doubt of it, out priestes had neuer more neede of these cautelles, then at this present they haue, considering how fearefull and amazed they are, being no whit at all persecuted. Howbeit they haue good cause so to be. For, it geueth their kitchins a vile blow. And besides, there ensueth a worse matter hereon then so, because they are not able as they would, make their kitchin fier burne so bright as mighr roste those which goe about to put it out, being next coosin Germaine to the fier of Purgatorie, wherewith they seeth, roste, and bake, all that they eate, at the coste and charges of the poore soules which lye there tosted and fryed.
