And,  as  hauing  no  dread  of  the  malice  of  tyrants,  by  trusting  stedfastlie  in  the
helpe  of  the  Lord,  with  full  purpose  for  to  knowledge  the  soothfastnesse,  and
to  stand  thereby  after  my  cunning  and  power,  I  said   to  the  archbishop  :  Sir,
if  the  truth  of  Gods  word  might  now  be  accepted  as  it  sliould  be,  I  doubt  not
to  proue  by  likelie  euidence,  that  they  that  are  famed  to  be  out  of  the  faith  of
holie  church  in  Shrewsburie,  and  in  other  places  also,  are  in  the  true  faith  of
holie    church.^     For,   as   their  wordes  sound,  and  their  workes  shew  to  mans
iudgement  (dreading  and  louing  faithfullie  God),  their  will,  their  desire,  their
lone,  and  their  busines,  are  most  set  to  dread  to  offend  God,  and  to  loue  for  to  a  sure
please  him  in  true  and  faithful  keeping  of  his  commandements.  And  again,  they  'y"?t  i"
that  are  said  to  be  in   the  faith  of  holie  church  in  Shrewesburie  and  in  other  (,.yj,,  ^g,,.
places,  by  open  euidence  of  their  proud,  enuious,  malicious,  couetous,  lecherous,  foundeth
and  other  foule  wordes  and  workes,  neither  know,  nor  haue  will  to  know,  nor  Jj^g™?"
to  occupie  their  wits  truely  and  effectuoushe  in  the  right  faith  of  holie  church,  tyrants.
