Chichest. No, I am not sure of that?
Wood. No, be you not sure of that?1
Chich. So by S. Mary, I dare not be so bold to say so: I doubt of that.
Wood. Then you be like the waves of the sea, as saith S. James, that be tossed about with the wind, and be unstable in all your ways, and can look for no good thing at the Lords hand: Yea, ye are neither hot nor cold, and therefore God will spew you out of his mouth, as sayeth S.

Story. What a perverse fellow is this? he hath the Devil within him, and is mad. He is worse then the Devil.1 Now I perceive that it is true that is reported by thee, and it is the pride of all such heretics, to boast themselves.
Storie. What a peruerse fellow is this? he hath the Deuil within him, and is madde. Hee is woorse then the Deuill.1 Nowe I perceiue that it is true that is reported by thee, and it is the pride of all suche heretickes, to boaste themselues.

Wood. I seeing their blindness and blasphemy, it made my heart melt, and mine eyes gush out with tears, saying: The Jews said to Christ, he had the Devil, and was mad, as you have said here by me. But I know, the servant is not above his master. And God forbid that I should learn of him that confesseth that he hath not the Spirit of God.

Chich. You boast more then euer Paul did, or any of the apostles, the which is great presumption.

Story. Thou shalt not be burned to morow, but thou shalt be burned within these 6. dayes, I promise thee.
