¶The summe of the Epistle written by Doctor Redman, to M. Latymer.
1Grace be unto you, and true peace in Christ Jesus. I beseech you heartily, and require most earnestly, even for charities sake, that you will not stand in your own conceit with a mind so indurate, nor prefer your own singular judgement in matters of religion and controversies before so many learned men, and that more is, before the whole Catholic Church, especially considering that you neither have any thing at all in the word of God to make for you, nor yet the testimony of any authentical writer. Nay, nay: I beseech you rather consider that you are a man, and that lying and vanity may quickly blear your eye, which doth sometime transform it self into an Angel of light.
1GRace be vnto you, and true peace in Christ Iesu. I beseeche you hartily, and require most earnestly, euen for charities sake, that you wyll not stand in your owne conceite with a mind so indurate, nor preferre your owne singular iudgement in matters of religion and controuersies before so many learned men, and that more is, before the whole Catholike Church, especially consideryng that you neither haue any thyng at all in the word of God to make for you, nor yet the testimony of any autenticall wryter. Nay, nay: I beseech you rather consider that you are a man, and that lying and vanitie maye quickely bleare your eye, which doth sometyme transforme it selfe into an Aungell of lyght.
