1Wherefore (saith he) most holy father. I offer my self prostrate under the feet of your holiness, with all that I am, and that I have. Save me, kill me, call me, recall me, approve me, reprove me, as you shall please. Your voice, the voice of Christ in you speaking, I will acknowledge. If I have deserved death, I shall be contented to dye: For the earth is the Lords, 2and all the fullness thereof, who is to be blessed for ever. Amen. This was the year of our Lord. 1518.
