An exhortation to the carrying of Christs cross with a true and brief confutation…An exhortacion to the carienge of Chrystes crosse wyth a true and brefe confutacion…

As with us it was never found out, till horrible corruption of religion and ignorances of God's word came into the church of god, when preaching was put down and massing came up.

As wyth vs it was neuer founde out, til horrible corrupcion of religion and ignoraunces of Godes worde came into the churche of god, whan preachyng was putte downe and massynge came vp.

Then faith in Christ was cold, penance became popish, and trust was taught in creatures, ignorance abounded: and look ⟨p. 135⟩what the clergy said, that was believed. Then came up visions, miracles, dead sprites walking and talking how they might be relieved by this mass, by that pilgrimage gate going.

Then fayth in Christ was colde, penaunce became popyshe, and trust was taughte in creatures, ignoraunce abounded: and loke ⟨p. 135⟩what the clergi said, that was beleued. Then came vp visions, miracles, dead sprites walkynge and talkynge how they myghte bee releued by thys masse, by that pylgremage gate goynge.

And so came up this pelf of praying for the dead, which Paul, the apostles and all the prophets never spake one word of. For all men may easily see, that it is a thing which helpeth much vice, and hindereth godliness.

And so came vp this pelfe of prayinge for the dead, whyche Paul, the apostles and al the prophetes neuer spake one word of. For all menne maye easelye see, that it is a thinge which helpeth much vyce, and hyndreth godlynesse.
