Thomas, Now I have heard all your matters and well considered of them, I know that we have been marvellously abused, Wherefore from henceforth I remit and forgive the Priests, I will stay my self but only to the pure word of GOD. As touching my voyage, I am come back again. I have seen that which I desired to know. I think that Eusebius is as much pressed and overcome as I, and that he hath no more greater harness nor weapons for to defend his Purgatory nor his Limbs, Eusebius. It is most certain that I have my spirit much troubled with so many matters, and not without cause. But nevertheless I have not yet all displayed and showed forth my arguments & reasons. You have now robbed me of the place which I have propounded unto you of the book of the Maccabees, under the title that it was Apocrypha: But those that I will propound unto you now, shall be taken out of books so Authentic and Canonical, that you can by no means reject them. And if you can show by evident reasons, that I do not allege them to the purpose, and that they do serve me nothing at all for to prove my intention, I will confess my self vanquished, and will give you my hand for to be of your side.

Thomas, Now I haue heard al your matters and wel considered of them, I knowe that we haue bene meruailously abused, Wherefore from hencefoorth I remit and forgiue the Priestes, I will staye my selfe but onelye to the pure word of GOD. As touchinge my voyage, I am come backe agayne. I haue séene that which I desired to knowe. I thincke that Eusebius is as much pressed and ouercome as I, and that hee hath no more greater harneys nor weapons for to defend his Purgatorye nor his Lymbes, Eusebius. It is most certeine that I haue my spirit much troubled with so many matters, and not without cause. But neuerthelesse I haue not yet all disployed and shewed foorth my argumentes & reasons. You haue nowe robbed me of the place whiche I haue propounded vnto you of the booke of the Machabees, vnder the tytle that it was Apocripha: But those that I will propound vnto you now, shalbée taken out of bookes so Autentickes and Canonicall, that you can by no meanes reiect them. And if you can shewe by euydent reasons, that I dooe not alledge them to the purpose, and that they do serue mée nothing at all for to proue my intention, I will confesse my selfe vanquished, and wyll giue you my hand for to be of your side.
