Pleaseth it your Lordships, I have read in the Epistles of S. Paul,1 that who is clean, unto him all things are clean. Of the contrary, to the filthy men all things are unclean.2 A faithful man clean and holy, sanctifieth by the word, the creature of God. But the creature maketh no man acceptable unto God.3 So that a creature may not sanctify any impure and unfaithful man. But to the faithful man, all things are sanctified by the prayer of the word of God.4 After these sayings of master George, then said all the Bishops with their complices: what needeth us any witness against him? hath he not openly here spoken blasphemy?
