Therefore honour sir John, and make much of sir Thomas. For though god could make thee alone: yet alone, with out the priest, he can not save thee. Again, if sir John be thy friend, care neither for god nor the devil: live as thou wilt, he will bring thee to heaven, although thou slip into hell.
Therfore honor sir Iohn, and make much of sir Thomas. For though god could make thee alone: yet alone, wyth oute the prieste, he can not saue thee. Agayne, if sir Iohn be thy frend, care neyther for god nor the deuill: lyue as thou wylte, he wyll bryng thee to heauen, althoughe thou slippe into hel.
