Bilney. I marvel doubtless, that you a man learned are not yet delivered out of the confuse dungeon of heresy, through the help of the holy Gospel: especially seeing that in the same Gospel it is written: Verily, verily, I say unto you, what so ever you ask the father in my name, 1he will give it unto you. He saith not, whatsoever ye ask the Father in the name of S. Peter,2 S. Paul, or other saints, but in my name. Let us, ask therefore help in the name of him, which is able to obtain for us of his father, whatsoever we ask, least peradventure hereafter in the end of the world, at the strait judgement we shall hear: Hitherto in my name ye have asked nothing.
