For the Name of Jesus and the protection of the Church I am ready to embrace death.

I am ready to die for my Lord, that in my blood the Church may obtain liberty and peace. But in the name of Almighty God, I forbid you to hurt my people whether clerk or lay.

God & Faith

There has been no satisfaction, and I will not absolve them.
