of god and hali+kirk and of my lorde þe Archebisshop~ of 3ork þer-for J am nowe as J was þt tyme
co~maunded and charged be þe auctorite and bidyng of my lorde þe Archebisshop~ to rehers at þis
tyme in open sermon~ þe maters and þe erroures þe whilk þat J confessid and knawlegid þat J
prechid on~ seynt Anne day to þis intent þat þai þt haue bene broght in errour be my+sayd prechyng
wher~-of J aske god forgifnes . may be broght agayn~ oute of þer errour . / The first of þe forsayd
conclusions and maters was þis . a preste beyng in dedely syn~ is no preste / þe secund was þis
þt a seculer juge puttyng handes violentli vpon a preste beyng in dedely syn~ puttes noght violent
handes vpon~ a preste / Sirs : j knawlege þt þis two conclusions er open erroures and þe defens
of þai~ heresy . For dedeli syn~ puttes noght nor dos noght a-way þe state ordir of power off
prestehode nor of none+oþer þt beres office or state spirituall or temperall / þt is to say dedeli syn~ dos
noght away þe power of pope Archebisshop~ Bisshop~ preste Kyng duke Erill Justice or
Maire non of none oþer office . nor it puttes noght away obedience nor reuerence þt is dwe to be
done to þe ordir or to þe state os it was clerly and sufficiantly declared in þe scrowe þt was
sent to me be þe auctorite and bidyng of my lorde þe Archebisshop~ of 3ork openly to be red
in þe day of procession~ and in þe sermon~ at þe priorie off þe Trinite . The third mater
and conclusion~ was þis / to incenss<er?> in þe olde lawe and to halowe þe sacrament of þe altar~ in
þe new lawe fully and allonly contenes in hym þe office of presthode Sirs j knawlege þt þis conclusion~
is open errour . For many diuerser sacrifice wer ordand to be done in þe olde lawe and many oþer
office rites cerimonis . obseruance and charges wer gifen to prestes and to dekyns of þe olde lawe
þan~ allonely to incenser / and in þe new lawe was gifen~ be þe auctorite of criste ministracion@ of
mo sacramentes / þan allonely of þe blissed sacrament of þe altar~ þe fourt conclusion and mater
was þis þe kirke noght punysshyng nor noght willyng punysshe licherus pepill jt is lefull
<fol. 333v>to seculer men~ to punysshe þai~ be prisonment and to þis er þai bon~ be þe bande of charite / þe fift conclusion@
and mater was þis þat now both women and prestes dredis noght to forswere þai~ and hali+kirk agayn
suspect persones of dedely syn~ has no more to do . þan~ to make þai~ to forswere itt / Wher-for it is lawfull
to seculer juges to sett wayte and spy of suspect women@ and prestes and take þai~ and punysshe
þai~ and be open stretis to lede þai~ and bryng þai~ to þe Juge . þe sext conclusion~ was þis . þt
a preste suspect of lichery taken~ be seculer men@ refusyng to go to prisone may lawfully . be constreyned
to go þer-to be betyng of seculor men@ wt-outen violence done to presthode . Sirs J
knawlege þt þies iij . conclusions now laste rehersyd er fals and open@ erroures as it es wele declared
in þe forsayd scrowe / for as spirituall power and temperall power / er diuerser powers and diuersser . office .
so vnto þai~ langes diuersser maner of punysshment / For somm~ maner~ of punysshment langes to the
temperall men þe whilk langes noght to þe spirituall men@ / and som maner of punysshement langes
to þe spirituall men@ þe whilk langes noght to þe temperall men . Emang þe whilk in spirituall is the
punysshment of prestes and of oþer both men and women . þt er defouled be þe flesshly syn~ of lichery
nor it is noght accordyng to reson~ nor gude gouernance nor to rest of þe pepill þt þe temperall power
vs<ill><2 chars></ill>p~ or take vpon~ þai~ / þe oyse of þe spirituall power or jurisdiccion~ / Nor þt þe spirituall power
take vpon~ þai~ þat longes to þe temperall pertie . Bot it is resonable þt ather of þies perties stand
content and payde wt þer owne jurisdiccion~ and holde þai~ wt-in þer boundes and passe noght þer power
for els it is likly stryfe and discencion~ to be sett fro day to day be-twix spirituall power and temperall
And forthermore J say who-so lays violent handes vpon~ a preste in þis maner of cas as be-for-sayd falles
in-to þe sentence of cursyng be þe lawe of holi+kirk putt in þe decre . <lat></lat> .
Þies sex conclusions and maters rehersid be-for as vntrew doctrine or techyng and erroneus as j
haue openli knawlegid fulli j her~ Forsake and noght willyng gife any man@ caus or occasion~ of
erroures requires 3ow of goddes behalfe þt no man~ as for my prechyng halde þai~ to her~-after or
