The vj. Chapter.
IN the vj. he saith that the heretics be all nought, for they all perjure and abjure. He yet saith untrue. Many abide unto the death. Many for their 1weakness are kept out of your hands. Many for their over much boldness in their own strength be delivered into your hands and fall in the flesh, their hearts abiding still in the truth, as Peter and thousands did, & after repent and be no less Christen than before, though ye have them in derision unto your own damnation. And many because they come to Christ for fleshly liberty and not for love of the truth, fall as it becometh them under your hands: as Judas and Balaam, which at the beginning take Christs part, but afterward when they find either loss or no vantage, they get them unto the contrary part, and are by profession the most cruel enemies, and subtlest persecutors of the truth. Look Master More and read and mark well.

And many because they come to Christ for fleshly liberty and not for loue of the truth, fall as it becommeth them vnder your handes: as Iudas and Balam, which at the beginning take Christes parte, but afterward when they fynde eyther losse or no vauntage, they get them vnto the contrary part, and are by profession the most cruell enemyes, and subtellest persecuters of the truth.
