They have also martyrs which never preached Gods word, neither dyed therefore: but for privileges and liberties 1which they falsely purchased contrary unto Gods ordinances. Yea & such Saints though they be dead, yet rob now as fast as ever they did, neither are less covetous now then when they were alive. I doubt not but that they will make a Saint of my Lord Cardinal, after the death of us that be alive, and know his juggling and crafty conveyance, and will shrine him gloriously, for his mightily defending of the right of holy Church, except we be diligent to leave a commemoration of that Nimrod behind us.

The reasons wherewith they prove their doctrine are but fleshly: and as 1Paul calleth them, enticing words of mans wisdom, that is to wit, sophistry and brawling arguments of men with corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, whose God is their belly, unto which idol whosoever offereth not, the same is an heretic, and worthy to be brunt.
