Here seest thou the uttermost what a Christen man must look for. It is not enough to suffer for righteousness: But that no bitterness or poison be left out of thy cup, thou shalt be reviled and railed upon: and even when thou art condemned to death then be 1excommunicate and delivered to Satan, deprived of the fellowship of holy Church, the company of y• Angels, and of thy part in Christs blood, and shalt be cursed down to hell, defied, detested, and execrate with all the blasphemous railings that the poysonfull hart of hypocrites can think or imagine, and shalt see before thy face when thou goest to thy death, that all the world is persuaded and brought in belief that thou hast said and done that thou never thoughtest, and that thou dyest for that thou art as guiltless of, as the child that is unborn.
