¶Here folowe .ii. lesson.
OF this article we may note .ii. lessons. The firste that the seruantes of god shuld not be moche afrayd to be presented before euyll and wicked iudges. For the more wicked the iudge is / the more grace therby commeth to the seruauntes of god. Ex¦emples herof we haue in the glorious apostles Peter and Poule whiche suffred deth vnder the moste cruell Iudge Nero. Also in saynte Laurence / whiche by the moste wycked tyraunt Decyus was put to deth, and so of many other holy sayntes. The se∣cond lesson is this / that we shulde depely remember al our euyll{is} that we haue done / and so present our conscyence before the hye Iudge Christ / and also before his vycar here in erth our curate to be duely examyned / for our sauyour Christe disdeyned not to be examined before the pryncys of the preestes / the scribes & the seniours of the Iues. And pray as foloweth.
