"And may the rest of the Disciples and Evangelists, who by their preaching converted the universe, and the holy and wonderful company of Martyrs and Confessors, who by their works are found pleasing to God Almighty; may the holy choir of the Holy Virgins, who, for the honor of Christ, have despised the things of the world, damn him! "May all the Saints from the beginning of the world to everlasting ages who are found to be beloved of God, damn him! "May he be damned wherever he be, whether in the house or in the alley, in the woods or in the water, or in the church! "May he be cursed in living and dying! "May he be cursed in eating and drinking, in being hungry, in being thirsty, in fasting and sleeping, in slumbering, and in sitting, in living, in working, in resting, and ... and in blood-letting! "May he be cursed in all the faculties of his body! "May he be cursed inwardly and outwardly! "May he be cursed in his hair; cursed be he in his brains and his vertex, in his temples, in his eyebrows, in his cheeks, in his jaw bones, in his nostrils, in his teeth and grinders, in his lips, in his shoulders, in his arms, in his fingers! "May he be damned in his mouth, in his breast, in his heart, and appurtenances, down to the very stomach! "May he be cursed in his ... and his ... in his thighs, in his ... and his ... and in his knees, and his legs, and his feet, and toe-nails! "May he be cursed in all his joints and articulations of the members; from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet may there be no soundness! "May the Son of the living God, with all the glory of His majesty, curse him! "And may Heaven, with all the powers that move therein, rise up against him, and curse and damn him, unless he repent and make satisfaction! Amen! So be it! Be it so! Amen! Amen! Amen!" I have given you the diabolical "curse" of excommunication, word for word; thus you can see how un-Christlike the Catholic Church is. As I have before said in this chapter, the foregoing is the curse that will fall to my lot as soon as this book is placed upon the market, thus the reader can see that my motives for writing this book must come from a pure incentive, or else I would not willingly cut myself asunder from all of those whom I have associated with during my life. This task is not one that I enjoy, as it breaks my heart to realize that I have all through my life been burdened down with this load of superstitious filth, but I could not in justice to myself and in justice to a living God refrain from the task, after I had had my eyes opened to the beauties of Protestantism.
