I warned the judges that they take not an ensample how to minister their offices, of our spirituality, which are bought and solo to do the will of Satan: but of the Scripture whence they have their authority. Let that which is secret abide secret till God open it, which is the judge of secretes. For it is more then a cruel thing to break 1up into a mans hart & to compel him to put either soul or body in jeopardy or to shame him self.
