All ye that true catholyks be
And loue oure mother holy Church/
Make haste and come hyther to me
I will teache you godly to wourche.
Doctrine bothe olde and auncient
Of father Duns and fryer Thomas/
Shall ye here fynde/if ye be bent
To beleue in the blessed masse.
Of Christ and his holy Gospel
Of true fayth/hope and charite/
I haue nothing at all to tell
For that dothe not belong to me.
Of the masse is my whole matter
And of what great vertue it is/
If to know that/ye do desyer
Here in me ye shall it not mysse.
Awaye with your Communion
And with all your Englishe seruice/
Come to masse with good deuocion
For that will bryng you to heauens blisse.
In that ye shall se your maker
Whiche made bothe heauen and earthe so rounde/
Come therfore with all humble manner
That good Catholyks ye maye be founde.

This is condemnacion/that light is come into the worlde/and menne haue loued darkenes more then lighte.

Ioan. 3.
