Theo. True in deed, for the thing is most apparent. For, even as Judas did a great deal worse, after such time as S. Luke and S. John spake, that the Devil was entered into his hart, so that Judas was then come even unto the fullness of all iniquity & wickedness: Even so fell it also out with Saul, after that the good spirit of the Lord was gone from him, and he left unto the wicked spirit. For, before that, the good spirit of the Lord, caused him to do many good things, although Saul had not a true and sound heart. Howbeit, although he did him self no good, yet did he good to others, considering the estate wherein he was. But, after that the good spirit of the Lord, had wholly given him over to Satan, a man ⟨image 114⟩might have seen him grow worse, daily and hourly, so that he never rested, until such time as he had •illed the measure of all wickedness, and for a man of his degree & quality, made even as shameful an end, as Judas did. For, after that Saul had committed the very worst deeds that he could possibly devise, against God, and against his servant David, the Devil at last egged him so far forth, as that he destroyed him self with his own hands.

Theo. True in deede, for the thing is most apparaunt. For, euen as Iudas did a great deale worse, after such time as S. Luke and S. Iohn spake, that the Diuell was entred into his hart, so that Iudas was thē come euē vnto the fulnesse of all iniquitie & wickednesse: Euen so fell it also out with Saule, after that the good spirite of the Lorde was gone from him, and he left vnto the wicked spirit. For, before that, the good spirit of the Lorde, caused him to doe manye good things, although Saule had not a true and sound heart. Howbeit, although he did him selfe no good, yet did he good to others, considering the estate wherein he was. But, after that the good spirit of the Lord, had wholy giuen him ouer to Satan, a manne ⟨image 114⟩might haue seene him grow worse, daylye and hourely, so that hee neuer rested, vntill such time as he had •illed the measure of al wickednesse, and for a man of his degree & qualitie, made euen as shamefull an end, as Iudas did. For, after that Saule had committed the very worst deedes that he could possibly deuise, against God, and against his seruant Dauid, the Deuil at last egged him so far forth, as that hee destroyed him selfe with his owne handes.
