If any man come to me, and hateth not his ∴ father and mo∣ther,
and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea and his owne life besides: he cannot be my disciple.
No creature so deere vnto vs, which we must not hate or forsake, if it hinder vs, and in that respect that it hindereth vs from Christ, or his Church, and our saluation.
In this we consent. And a great number of vs haue not onely forsaken all our friends, how déere to vs soeuer, but also giuen o∣uer our selues and our golden yéeres to prison, paines, torments, and most bitter death, rather than to leaue and forsake Christs catholike Church, and our saluation.
