The booke speaketh.
Deedes must I speke, thoughe I be dōme,
Some mennes malice for to preuent,
In whose handes when I chaūce to come
Be sure I shall of euyll iudgement,
Because myne aucthour doth inuent,
By matter in a dreame to se,
As a mans dreame they wyll counte me.

In whose handes when I chaūce to come
Be sure I shall of euyll iudgement,
Because myne aucthour doth inuent,
By matter in a dreame to se,
As a mans dreame they wyll counte me.
For the whiche here as wysdome is,
Who that in ieste doth me so call,
For an aunswere let them take this.
Some wordes written by James and Paule,
In Luthers bookes plaine finde ye shall,
Called their dreame because he knewe,
That his errours they ouerthrewe.

Some wordes written by James and Paule,
In Luthers bookes plaine finde ye shall,
Called their dreame because he knewe,
That his errours they ouerthrewe.
In lyke maner I do not doute,
But that because I do inuay,
Against all suche as went aboute,
The perfite faieth for to decay,
Some men which nowe fauour that way,
Haply my matter to defame,
Wyll saye that I haue a meete name.

But sith as I do say before,
That James and Paule they do deny,
And by Christes wordes to passe nomore,
Then they do now, no cause se I,
To meruaile though they say I lye,
And only dreame all that I tell,
Though first and last, they knowe full well.

Cheiflye they knowe whiche learned be,
That these assaultes hath trulye been,
As for the laste, all we did see,
Tyll God did sende our noble quene,
Whiche nowe wyll haue as hath been seene,
The christen faieth truely confest,
As Gods worde hath it plaine exprest.

Therfore I say, for to conclude,
What they do say I do not passe,
And mine authour thoughe they delude,
Yet wyll I shewe plaine who he was,
Because no lawe I wyll trespasse,
Myles Hogarde, men do call his name,
Who to this ende did me first frame.
