Again for the stubborn papists / they take hereupon occasion to speak evil of / and to blaspheme the truth of the gospel / saying / that our religion can not stand by it self / unless it lean upon the staff of their ceremonies / and persuade them selves that those were very well devised by their Popes / that they that are their enemies to their religion / can not be without. And hereupon they take occasion to hope that their other trumpery and baggage / will in the end come in again / which causeth them to be more frozen in their wickedness / and shut their ears against the truth / which possibly they would hear / if all hope of bringing in of their Popery were cut off. And let it be observed that through out the realm there are none that make such clamours and outcries / and complaints for these ceremonies / as they / and those that they suborn. They pretend I confess / the Queens majesties Injunctions / & obedience unto them / but who is so blind as seeth not / that they have an other meaning. For I appeal unto the consciences of all that know them / whether they do it for any obedience towards her Majesty / whose death should be a thousand times better news unto them / then her graces marriage.

Agayne for the stubberne papistes / they take heereupon occasion to speake euill of / and to blaspheme the truthe of the gospell / saying / that our religion can not stande by it selfe / vnles it leane vppon the staffe of their ceremonies / and perswade them selues that those were very well deuised by their Popes / that they that are their ennemyes to their religion / can not be without. And heereuppon they take occasyon to hope that their other trumpery and baggage / will in the ende come in agayne / which causeth them to be more frosen in their wickednesse / and shutte their eares agaynst the truth / which possibly they would heare / if all hope of bringing in of their Popery were cutte off. And let it be obserued that through out the realme there are none that make suche clamoures and ouctryes / and complayntes for these ceremonies / as they / and those that they suborne. They pretend I confesse / the Queenes maiesties Iniunctions / & obediēce vnto them / but who is so blynde as seeth not / that they haue an other meaning. For I appeale vnto the consciences of all that know them / whether they doe it for any obedience towardes her Maiestie / whose death should be a thousande times better newes vnto them / then her graces marriage.
