Is not this a goodly bold reason to cast at a bishops cure? How can he prove this? what scripture hath he for him? I hear well his carnal reason, but I hear no probation, I will make him a like reason. The saints when they were hear, did of their charity cloth naked men, and feed the 1hungry, and gave drink to yt thirsty, and visited them that were in prison: therefore much more now, for they be confirmed in charity, and these be deeds of charity.

Likewise. S. Paul when he was hear, did of his charity, write epistles to declare the verity, therefore now must •ee much more write: so y•, where afore he wrote but one epistle, now must he at yt least write three, or else he is not confirmed in charity. & I think he did never a greater deed of charity, then now to wright an epistle, and to declare his own pistels, for all the world is at variance, for understanding of them. You blind guides, who hath learned you to declare, wherein the charity of saints doth stand? who hath given you authority, to give a deed of charity unto saints, that scripture doth not give. Wherefore is it a deed of charity for one to pray for an other? is there any other cause then that the holy Ghost so declared it in his word? Wherefore that is charity in this life, that the word of God biddeth you do, and as for the works that charity shall have in an other life, it belongeth not to you to judge farther then the word of God.
