But here he wolde saye vnto me as he dothe in hys boke, that he had forfayted hys salue conduyte, ād therbye was fallē in to hys enemyes handes. Where vnto I answere, that thys your sayenge is but a vayne glose. For I my selfe ded reade the salue conduyte that came vnto him, which had but onelye thys one condycyon annexed vnto it, that if he came before the feaste of Christmas then nexte ensuynge, he shulde haue free lyberte to departe at hys pleasure. And thys condycyon I knowe was fulfylled. How shulde he than forfayte hys salue cōduyte? But master More hath learned of hys masters our Prelates (whose proctoure he is) to depresse our Prynces prerogatyue, that mē ought not to keape any promyse with heretyckes. And so hys salue cōduyte coulde not saue hym. As though the Kynges grace myght not admytte any man to go and come frelye into hys graces realme, but that he muste haue leaue of our prelates. For els they myght laye heresye agaynst the parson, and so sleye hym cōtrarye to the Kynges salue cōduyte, which thynge all wyse men do knowe to be preiudycyall to hys graces prerogatyue royall. And yet I am sure that of all the tyme of hys beynge here, you can not accuse hym of one cryme, albeit (vnto your shame) you saye that he had forfayted hys salue conduyte. These wordes had be verye extreame and worthy to haue bene loked vpon, although they had bene wryten by some presumptuous Prelate. But that a laye man so hyghlye promoted by hys Prynce, shulde speake them and also cause them openlye to be publyshed amonge hys graces comons, to deyecte the estymacyon of hys royall power, doth in my mynde, deserue correccyon. Notwithstondynge I leaue the iudgement and determynacyon, vnto the dyscrecyō of hys graces honourable counsell. [Sidenote: More.] ❧ And as for that holy prayer that this devoute yōge man (as a newe Christe teacheth all hys congregacyon to make at the receyuynge of thys blessed sacrament) I wyll not geue the parynge of a peare, though it were moche better thē it is, pullynge away the true fayth (as he doth) frō the Sacrament. Howbeit hys prayer there is so devysed, penned, and paynted with laysure and studye, that I truste euery good Christen woman maketh a moche better prayer, at the tyme of her howsell, by faythfull affectyō & by Gods good inspyracyō sodēlye. Fryth is an vnmete master to teache vs what we shulde praye at the receyuynge of the blessed sacrament, whē he wyll not knowlege it as it is, but take Christes blessed body for no thynge but bare breade, & so lytle esteame the receyuyng of the blessed sacramēt, that he forsyth lytle whether it be blessed or not.
