That is: In the name of God beginneth all evil alluding to the Popes Bulls, which commonly so begin. Item when Bulls come from Rome, bind well your purses. The nearer Rome, the farther from Christ. Item, he that goeth once to Rome, seeth a wicked man. He that goeth twice, learneth to know him. He that goeth thrice, bringeth him home with him. Item, the Court of Rome never regardeth the sheep without the wool. Once were wooden chalices and golden priests. 1Now we have golden chalices, and wooden Priests. Once Christian men had blind churches and light hearts, Now they have blind hearts and light Churches. Item, many are worshipped for Saints in heaven, whose souls be burning in hell.
