Item, by W. Nelmys of Wylsedone, that Bilney should preach: They gild their Gods, and bear them about, and men say, they do speak: and if they do speak, it is the devil that speaketh in them: and not God. &c.

Item, by fryer John Hogekyn, that Bilney thus preached at Ipswich: The coming of our Saviour Christ was long desired, and by divers and many prophets prophesied, 1that he should come. But John the Baptist, more then a Prophet, did not only prophesy, but with his finger showed: Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. Then, if this were the very Lamb, which John did demonstrate, and showed, which taketh away the sins of the world, what injury is this Bull of the Bishop of Rome to our Saviour Jesus Christ, that to be buried in the Cowl of S. Francis, should or may remit 4. parts of the penance? What is left to our Saviour Jesus Christ, which taketh away the sins of the world? This will I justify to be a great blasphemy against the blood of Christ. &c.
