No veryte (sayth Oseas the Prophet) no mercy nor yet knowlege of God, is now in the earth, but abhomynable vy∣ces haue euerye where gotten the ouer∣hande, one bloud gyltynesse folowynge an other, Osee. iiii. Thinke you that the Byshoppes and prestes coulde take so cruel wayes, & wolde worke so false fea¦tes, if they had the true feare of God, or yet reckened to fele a ryght wyse iudge at the lattre daye?

The other woman, whom they wol¦de here mooste craftely haue delyuered wyth this (as I am credyblye infour∣med) was a certē popysh queane, whych they had afore prouyded both to betray her, and accuse her. In more depe daun∣ger of the lawe at that tyme, was thys for her false accusement wythout recor¦de, than was the other which was so fal¦selye accused. Faine wolde the prelates therfore haue hadde her at lyberte, but they feared moche to be noted parcyall.

More of their spiry∣tuall packynges and conueyaūces, for the deathe of thys faythfull woman, and most dere membre of Christe Anne Askewe, shal ye well perceyue in the lat¦ter part here folowynge, by her owne confession and hande wrytynge also to the honoure of God and theyr great dis¦honour. So be it.
