And that to justice Barton was thus worded:
‘Friend,
‘Thou that preachest Christ, and the Scriptures in words, when
any come to follow that, which thou hast spoken of, and to live
the life of the Scriptures, then they that speak the Scriptures,
but do not lead their lives according thereunto, persecute them
that do. Mind the prophets, and Jesus Christ, and his apostles,
and all the holy men of God; what they spake, was from the
life; but they that had not the life, but the words, persecuted
and imprisoned them that lived in the life, which they had
backslidden from.
