MOTIVE.

THese are the two fallacies whereupon Luther built his rebel∣lion, and wherein all the heresies of our time conspire, though o∣therwise at difference with themselues: for there can bee no fitter baites to beguile simple men, then opinion; and sensuall men, then ease: because euery one lieth open to decay in his owne vices.

ANSVVERE.

THus are you taken in the snare which you layd for o∣thers. For the power of God in our ministery being to encounter with those two vglie monsters of nature, igno∣rance and sensualitie, it is the ende of our whole profession, both to make the simple wise to saluation, in such pointes as be meete for their conceites, and expedient for their seuerall callings: as also to conuert the sensuall vnto newnes and holines of life. Thus we professe and thus we teach, neither feeding the one kinde with opinions, nor promising ease vn∣to the other. Therefore if you either perceiuing some loose∣nes of life in the laitie, doe ascribe that to our doctrine: or obseruing the due execution of this ministerie to be wanting in some of the clergie, shall therfore condemne the whole, do ye not plainly see the two grād fallacies, wherein you beguile your selfe, and whereupon you haue built this Apostasie?
