tell ;  but  well  I  wot  that  the  wounded  man  between  Jerusalem
and  Jericho  had  no  help  of  them.  Luke  x.  The  Samaritan,
which  was  reckoned  but  a  pagan  among  them,  was  his  only-
comfort.  In  the  most  popish  time  was  never  more  horrible
blasphemy  than  this  is.  This  wickedness  impugneth  all  the
promises  of  God  concerning  faith  and  remission  of  sins.  It
repugneth  also  to  the  whole  doctrine  of  the  gospel.  The
application  of  Christ's  supper  availeth  only  them  that  be  alive,
taking,  eating,  and  drinking,  that  is  therein  ministered.  No
more  can  the  priest's  receiving  that  sacrament  profit  another  The  priest's

man,  than  can  his  receiving  of  baptism,  or  of  penance,  as  they
call  it.  If  it  profiteth  not  the  quick,  how  can  it  profit  the
dead  ?  No  sacrifice  is  the  mass,  nor  yet  good  work ;  but  a
blasphemous  profanation  of  the  Lord's  holy  supper,  a  mani-
fest wickedness,  an  horrible  idolatry,  and  a  foul  abomination ;
being  thus  a  rite  of  worshipping  without  the  word,  yea,  against
the  express  word  of  God.

Then  they  had  me  from3  thence  unto  my  Lord  Mayor.     And  he  Mayor,
examined  me,  as  they  had  before ;  and  I  answered  him  directly  in  all
things,  as  I  had4  the  quest  afore.

After  this  sort  was  Christ  led  from  the  examination  of  the
clergy  to  Pilate.  Matth.  xxvii.  In  that  the  examination  of  the
mayor  and  the  quest  was  all  one,  ye  may  well  know  that  they
had  both  one  schoolmaster,  even  the  brutish  bishop  of  London.  Bonner
The  ignorant  magistrates  of  England  will  neither  be  godly-
wise  with  David  and  Solomon,  nor  yet  embrace  the  earnest
instructions  of  God,  to  be  learned  in  the  scriptures,  Ps.  ii.
