Quotes

  • Like as the armèd knyght  Appoynted to the fielde,With thys world wyll I fyght,  And fayth shall be my shielde.
  • Christopher Dare...asked me, wherefore I said, I had rather to read five lines in the Bible, than to hear five Masses in the Temple: I confessed that I said no less: not for the dispraise of either the Epistle or the Gospel, but because the one did greatly edifie me, and the other nothing at all.
