The aunswere.

Your third consideration, standeth vp∣pon a foolishe fallation of Sophistrie, cal∣led petitio principij, whiche is, whē a man will take that as true, whiche his aduer∣sarie will not graunte hym. As you doe in this your argument, where you take that for a true principle, whiche you shall ne∣uer be able to proue, namely that we are Heretikes, and Schismatikes. And so you committe double folie. Firste, in prouyng that so diligentely, whiche no manne will deny (whiche is, that a manne ought not to communicate in religion with Hereti∣kes) and secondly, in bringing no proofe at all, of that, which all your aduersaries wil deny, namely that thei are Heretikes, or Schismatikes. For you must first prooue that thei are suche, before you can proue, that you ought to auoide their societie.
