Ind. What be they I pray you?
Christ. Why truly I am afraid to name them, yet being I am in hope to receive satisfaction from you, I shall adventure to tell you: First, that I make some question, whether there be a God. Secondly, whether those Books which are called the Scriptures be the Word of God. ⟨p. 4⟩Thirdly, Whether the Son and Holy Ghost be God? Fourthly, Whether the soul of man be immortal? And fifthly, Whether there shall be a resurrection of the body? And to tell you the truth, all these things are denied by some in whose company I have lately been.
