The Boke to the Reader
It pleased mine Autor to geue me to nameThe voice of the laste trumpe (as Sainct Ihon doth write)
Thinking therby to auoide al the blame
That cōmunely chaunseth to suche men as write
Plainly to such mē as walk not vpright
For truth getteth hatered of such as be il
And wyl suffer nothing that bridleth theyr wyll
For I am the doer of that which is done
I barcke at your faultes, but loth I am to byte
If by this barking ought might be won
And for this entent I was firste begon
That hearing your faultes ye might thē emende
And reigne with your maister Christe at the ende.
