Which ensamples how cōfortable are they for vs/ whē we be fallen in to
sinne & God is come vppō vs with a scorge/ [that] we dispeare not/ but
repēt with full hope of mercie after [the] ensamples of mercie [that]
are gone before: And therfore they were written for our lernīge/ as
testifieth Paul Ro. xv. to cōforte vs/ [that] we might [the] better put
oure hope & trust in God/ whē we se/ how mercifull he hath bene in tymes
past vn to our weake brethern [that] are gone before/ in all theyr
aduersities/ neade/ temptaciōs/ ye & horrible synnes in to which they
now & then fell.

¶ And on [the] other side ye se how they [that] hardened their hertes &
synned of malice & refused mercie [that] was offered thē & had no power
to repēt/ perished at [the] later ende with all confusion & shame
mercilessely. Which ensamples are very good & necessary/ to kepe vs in
awe & dreade in tyme of prosperite as thou maist se by Paul. j. Cor. x.
that we abyde in the feare of God/ & wax not wild and fall to vanities
ād so synne ād prouoke God and bringe wrath vppon vs.

¶ And thridly ye se in that practise/ how as god is mercifull &
longesoferynge/ euen so were all his true prophetes & prechers/ beringe
the infirmities of their weake brethern & their awne wrōges & iniuries
with all paciēce & longesoferinge/ neuer castinge any of thē of their
backes/ vn tyll they synned agenst [the] holygost/ maliciously
persecutinge [the] open & manifest trouth: cōtrary vn to the ensample of
[the] Pope/ which in sinninge agenst God & to quench [the] trueth of his
holy spirite/ is euer chefe captayne and trōpetblower/ to sett other
awerke/ ād seketh only his awne fredome/ liberte/ priuilege/ welth/
prosperite/ profite/ pleasure/ pastyme/ honoure & glorie/ with [the]
bondage/ thraldome/ captiuite/ miserie/ wretchednesse & vile subiectiō
of his brethern: & in his awne cause is so feruent/ so steffe & cruell/
that he will not sofre one word spoken agenst his false magiste/ wily
inuenciōs ād iuglynge ypocrisie to be vnaduēged/ thongh all
christendome shuld be sett to gether by the eares/ and shuld cost he
cared not how many hundred thousande their lives.
