My joy Dean Thomas,1 I am informed that you preach the Epistle or Gospel every Sunday to your Parishioners, and that you take not the cow, nor the upmost cloth from your Parishioners, which thing is very prejudicial to the church men: and therefore my joy Dean Thomas, I would you took your cow and your upmost cloth as other church men do, or else it is too much to preach every sunday, for in so doing you may make the people think that we should preach likewise. But it is enough for you, when you find any good Epistle, or any good gospel, that setteth forth the liberty of the holy church, to preach that, and let the rest be.
