1Of the tails of Scorpions, and of five months I have spoken before in the former Sermon. Their venomous doctrine is noted, which nevertheless at certain times shall be reproved, that godly men may beware thereof. And who seeth not, yea who feeleth not also, how grievous or hard is this fight or battle, that is made of such Locusts? Therefore hath the lords mouth joined rightly an woe with the locusts.

For they acknowledge none other Magistrate, than the pope of Rome: and rail upon secular princes (for so they call them) and will not obey them. Al they bind and swear them selves to the see of Rome, which to have save and sound, they care not, though all other men perish. The form of swearing is known, which is made of Bishops, Abbots and doctors
