[ A] calleth yt forthynkynge and repentaunce: therfore all en∣glyshe mē haue euer hetherto, myssused theyr own langage in callynge the thynge by the name of penaunce.
Now as for the worde penaunce what so euer the greke worde be: yt euer was and yet yt is lawfull inough (so that Tyndale geue vs leue) to call any thynge in englyshe by what worde so euer englysh men by comen custume agre vp¦pon. And therfore to make a chaung of the englyshe worde, as though yt all Englande shold go to scole wyth Tyndale to lerne englyshe / is a very frantyque foly.
But now the mather standeth not therin at all. For Tyn¦dale is not angry wyth the worde but bycause of the mater. For this greueth Luther & hym / that by penaūce we vndre∣stāde when we speke therof so many good thynges therin / [ B] & not a bare repētyng or forthynkyng onely, but also euery parte of the sacrament of penaunce, confessyon of mouthe, contrycyon of herte, aud satysfaccyon by good dedis.
For yf we called it but the sacrament of repentaūce, and by that worde wolde vnderstande as mych good therby as we now do by the worde penaunce: Tyndale wold be than as angry wyth repentaunce as he is now wyth penaunce. For he hateth nothyng but to here yt mē shold do any good.
we haue for our pore englysshe worde penaunce, the vse of all englysshe men syth penaunce fyrste beganne amonge them. And that is authoryte inough for an englysshe word / excepte Tyndale wyll bynde vs to fetche authoryte of reasō for euery worde of euery langage, out of Albert de modis signi∣ficandi/bycause that frere Luther, frere Huyskyn, and frere [ C] Lamberte, haue so sore se•• theyr study vppon Alberte de secre¦tis musierum. And yet yf he wyll nedys prece vppon vs there∣wyth: we maye saye that we take in penaunce of the latyne worde penitentia, whyche the chyrche vseth for the same sacra∣ment / or we maye saye that the worde penaunce is deryued and commeth of the worde payne, whyche bothe in harte, in worde, and in dede, the penytent sholde indeuour hym selfe 〈◊〉〈◊〉 conceyue and sustayne for his synne. But this is it that Tyndale so sore doth abhorre. For he consequentely sayth.
