They pray in Latin, they Christen in Latin, they bless in Latin, they 1give absolution in Latin, only curse they in the English tongue. Wherein they take upon them greater authority then ever God gave them. For in their curses as they call them, with book bell and candle, they command God and Christ and the angels and 2all Saints to curse them: curie them God (say they) father, son and holy ghost, curse them virgin Mary. &c. O ye abominable, Who gave you authority to command God to curse? God commandeth you to bless, and ye command him to curse. Bless them that persecute you: bless but curse not, saith S. Paul Roma. xij. What tyranny will these not use over men, which presume and take upon them to be Lords over God and to command him? If God shall curse any man, who shall bless and make him better? No man can amend him self, except God pour his spirit unto him. Have we not a commandment to love our neighbour as our selves? How can I love him and curse him also? James saith, it is not possible that blessing & cursing should come both out of one mouth. Christ commandeth.
