ITEM, Being examined concerning the mass in Latin now used in the church of England, he believeth, that there is no sacrifice in the ••ass, and that there is in it no salvation for a christian man, except it should be said in the mother tongue, that he might understand it; and concerning the ceremonies of the church, he saith and believeth, tha• they be not profitable to a christian man.
ITEM, Being examined concerning auricular confession, he answereth, That he hath believed, and doth believe, that it is necessary to go to a good priest for good counsel; but the absolution of the priest, laying his hand upon any man's head, as is now used, is nothing profitable to a christian man's salvation. And further he saith, that he hath not been confessed, nor received the sacrament of the altar, since the coronation of the queen that now is.
ITEM, Concerning the faith and religion now taug••, set forth, and believed in the church of England, he answereth and believeth, that the faith and doctrine now taught, set forth, and used in the said church of England, is not agreeable to God's word. And furthermore he saith, that bishop Hooper, Cardmaker, Rogers, and others of their opinion, who were lately burnt, were good christian men, and preached the true doctrine of Christ, as he believeth; and saith, that they shed their blood in the same doctrine, which was by the power of God, as he saith and believeth.
