Concerning his xvi. chapter of the maid of Ipswich, I answer, that 1Moses warned his Israelites that false miracles should be done to prove them, whether their harts were ta•• in the Lord. And even so Christ and the Apostles showed us before the lying miracles should come to pervert the very elect if it were possible. And therefore we must have a rule to know the true miracles from the false, or else it were impossible that any man should scape undeceived and continue in the true way. And other rule then this is 2there not: that the true are done to provoke men to come & hearken unto Gods word, and y• false to confirm doctrine that is not gods word. Now it is not gods word it thou read all the scripture throughout, but contrary thereto, that we should put such trust and confidence in our blessed Lady as we do, & clean against the testament that is in Christs blood. Wherefore a man need not to fear, to pronounce that the devil did it to mock us withal.
COncerning his xvi. chapter of the mayde of Ipswiche, I answere, that 1Moses warned hys Israelites that false miracles should be done to proue thē, whether their harts were ta•• in ye Lord. And euen so Christ and the Apostles shewed vs before ye lying miracles should come to peruert the very elect if it were possible. And therefore we must haue a rule to know the true myracles from the false, or els it were impossible that any man shoulde scape vndeceaued and continue in the true way. And other rule then this is 2there not: that the true are done to prouoke mē to come & harkē vnto Gods word, and y• false to cōfirme doctrine yt is not gods word. Now it is not gods woorde it thou reade all the scripture thoroughout, but contrary therto, that we should put such trust and confidēce in our blessed Lady as we do, & cleane agaynst the testament that is in Christes bloud. Wherfore a man neede not to feare, to pronounce that the deuyll did it to mocke vs withall.
