One blind reason have they saying. 1How shall the Priest unbind, loose and forgive the sin which he knoweth not? How did the Apostles? The Scripture forsake they and run unto their blind reasons, and draw the Scripture unto a carnal purpose. When I have told thee in thine ear all that I have done my life long, in order and with all circumstances after the shamefullest manner, what canst thou do more then preach me the promises, saying: if thou repent & believe, Gods truth shall save thee for Christs sake? Thou seest not mine hart, thou knowest not whether I repent or no, neither whether I consent to the law, that it is holy, righteous, and good. Moreover whether I believe the promises or no, is also unknown to thee. If thou preach the law and the promises, (as the Apostles did) so should they that God hath chosen repent and believe and be saved: even now as well as then. How be it Antichrist must know all secretes to stablish his kingdom, & to work his mysteries withal.

Thou seest not myne hart, thou knowest not whether I repent or no, neyther whether I consent to the law, that it is holy, righteous, and good. Moreouer whether I beleue the promises or no, is also vnknowen to thee. If thou preach the law and the promises, (as the Apostles did) so should they that God hath chosen repent and beleue and be saued: euen now as well as then. How be it Antichrist must know all secretes to stablish his kingdom, & to worke his misteries withall.
