shall I ryse agayne out of my sepulchre & come & preach repentaunce vn to you. Se therfore when ye se [the] signe that ye repēt or else ye shal suerly perish & not escape. For though the infirmities which ye now se ī my flesh be a lett vn to youre faythes/ ye shall yet then be with out excuse/ when ye se so greate a miracle & so greate power of god shed out vppō you. And so Christe came agayne after [the] resurrecciō/ in his spirite & preached repētaunce vn to them/ by the mouth of his appostles & disciples/ & with miracles of [the] holy gost. And all that repented not perished shortly after ād were for [the] most parte slayne with swerde ād [the] rest caried awaye captiue in to all quarters of the world for an ensample/ as ye se vn to this daye. ¶ And in lyke maner sens the world beganne/ where soeuer repentaunce was offered and not receaued/ there God toke cruell vengeaunce immediatly: as ye se in [the] floud of Noe/ in the ouerthrowēge of Sodō & Gomor & all the contre aboute: & as ye se of Egipte/ of the Amorites/ Cananites & afterwarde of the very Israelites/ & then at the last of the Iewes to/ ād of the Assyriens and Babyloniens and so thorout all the imperes of the world. ¶ Gyldas preached repētaunce vn to [the] olde Britaynes that inhabited englōd: they repented not/ & therfore God sent in theyr enimies vppō thē on euery side & destroyed thē vpp & gaue the lōd vn to other naciōs. And greate vengeaunce hath bene takē in that lande for synne sens that tyme. ¶ Wicleffe preached repētaunce vn to oure fathers not longe sens: they repēted not for their hertes were indurat & theyr eyes blinded with their awne Pope holy rightwesnesse wherwith they had made theyr soules gaye agenst the receauinge agayne of [the] weked spirite that bringeth .vii. worse then hym selfe with him & maketh [the] later ende worse then the beginninge: for in open sinnes there is hope of repentaunce/ but in holy ypocrisie none at all. But what folowed? they slew their true & right kinge ād sett vpp .iii. wrōge kīges arow/ vnder which all the noble bloud was slayne vpp ād halfe the comēs therto/ what in fraunce & what with their awne swerde/ in fightīge amonge thē selues for [the] crowne/ & [the] cities and townes decayed and the land brought halfe in to a wyldernesse in respecte of that it was before. ¶ And now Christ to preach repētaunce/ is resen yet ōce agayne out of his sepulchre in which the pope had buried him and kepte him downe with his pilars and polaxes and all disgysinges of ypocrisie/ with gyle/ wiles and falshed/ ād with the swerd of al princes which he had blynded with his false marchaundice. And as I dowte not of [the] ensamples that are past/ so am I sure that greate wrath will folow/ excepte repētaunce turne it backe agayne and cease it.
