What I have required of the queen regent, estates and nobility, as of the chief heads (for this present) of the realm, I cannot cease to require of you, dearly beloved Brethren, which be the commonalty and body of the same. To wit, that it (notwithstanding that false and cruel sentence which your disguised bishops have pronounced against me) would please you to be so favourable unto me as to be indifferent auditors of my just purgation. Which to do, if God earnestly move your hearts, as I nothing doubt but that your enterprise shall redound to the praise of His holy name, so am I assured that ye and your posterity shall by that means receive most singular comfort, edification and profit. For when ye shall hear the matter debated, ye shall easily perceive and understand upon what ground and foundation is builded that religion which amongst you is this day defended by fire and sword.
As for my own conscience, I am most assuredly persuaded that whatsoever is used in the papistical church is altogether repugning to Christ's blessed ordinance and is nothing but mortal venom, of which whosoever drinketh I am assuredly persuaded that therewith he drinketh death and damnation, except by true conversion unto God he be purged from the same.
