_Also as for the Sacrament of Penance, I believe that it is needful to every man that shall be saved, to forsake sin, and to do due penance for sin before done, with true confession, very contrition, and, due satisfaction, as GOD's Law limiteth and teacheth; and else, may he not be saved; which penance I desire all men to do._ _And as for Images, I understand that they be not of Belief, but they were ordained (since Belief was given of CHRIST) by sufferance of the Church for to be Kalenders to laymen, to represent and bring to mind the Passion of our Lord JESU CHRIST, and_ [the] _martyrdom and good living of other Saints. And that who so it be, that doeth the worship to dead images that is due to GOD; or putteth hope, faith, or trust in help of them as he should do to GOD; or hath affection in one more than in another: he doth in that, the great sin of Idolatry._ _Also I suppose this fully, that every man in this earth is a Pilgrim towards Bliss or towards Pains. And he that knoweth not, nor will not know, nor keep the holy commandments of GOD in his living (albeit that he goeth on pilgrimage in all parts of the world), and he die so, he shall be damned. And he that knoweth the holy commandments of GOD and keepeth them to his end, he shall be saved; though he never in his life, go on pilgrimage as men use_ [are accustomed] _now to Canterbury, or to Rome, or to any other place._ * * * * * =LORD COBHAM'S FINAL EXAMINATION.= This _Belief_ indented, containing the foresaid _Belief_ with these foresaid _Answers_, he took to the Bishops when he came to answer [_in the Chapter House of St. Paul's_] on the Saturday next before Michaelmas in the year beforesaid [_September 23, 1413_]. And whatsoever the Bishops asked him, he bade them look what his Bill said thereto; and thereby he would stand to the death. Other answer gave he not that day: but the Bishops were not quieted herewith. And the Archbishop bade him take avisement [_counsel_] till Monday [_September 25th_] next following, to answer to this point: _If there remained material bread in the Sacrament of the Altar, after the words of consecration?_ And in the meantime, he perceived that the uttermost malice was purposed against him, howsoever he answered: therefore he put his life in GOD's hand, and answered thus, as followeth. _This is the judgement and sentence given upon Sir JOHN OLDCASTLE Knight and Lord of COBHAM, the Monday_ [September 25th] _next before Michaelmas Day, at the Friar Preachers's_ [the Dominican Friary within Ludgate] _in London, in the year of our Lord, a thousand, four hundred and thirteen._
