What then saith me Lord of Canterbury to a Priest that would have 1had the new Testament gone forth in English: What (saith he) wouldest thou that the lay people should wit what we do?
What then saith me Lord of Caunterbury to a Priest that would haue 1had the new Testament gone forth in Englishe: What (sayth he) wouldest thou that the lay people should wete what we do?
- 1What quod my Lord of Canterbury.
No fighter, which I suppose is signified by the cross that is borne before 1the high Prelates and borne before them in procession: Is that also not a false sign? What Realm can be in peace for such turmoylers? What so little a 2Parish is it, but they will pick one quarrel or an other with them, either for some surplice, chrisom or mortuary, either for one trifle or other, and city them to the arches? Traitors they are to all creatures and have a secret conspiration between them selves. One 3craft they have, to make many kingdoms and small, and to nourish old titles or quarrels, that they may ever move them to war at their pleasure. And if much lands by any chance, fall to one man, ever to cast a bone in the way, that he shall never be able to obtain it, as we now see in the Emperor. Why? For as long as the kings be small, if God would open the eyes of any to set a reformation in his Realm, then should the Pope interdict 4his land, and send in other Princes to conquer it.
