They have also corrupted y• Saints lives with lies and feigned miracles & have put many things out of the sentence or great curse, as raising of •ente and fines and hiring men out of their houses, and whatsoever wickedness they them selves do, & have put a great part of the stories and Chronicles out of the way lest their falsehood should be seen. For there is no mischiefs or 1disorder, whether it be in the temporal regiment, or else in the spiritual whereof they are not the chief causes and even the very fountain and springs, and as we say, the well head so that it is impossible to preach against mischief except thou begin at them, or to set any reformation in the world except thou reform them first. Now are they indurate and tough as Pharaoh, and will not bow unto any right way or order. And therefore persecute they Gods word and the preachers thereof, and on the other side lye await unto all princes & stir up all mischief in the world and send them to war, and occupy their minds therewith or with other voluptuousness, lest they should have leisure to hear the word of God and to set an order in their realms.
