againe, that the same faith reigneth nowe in England, which these fathers professed. What fayth, M. Whitakers? not their faith concerning penance, or inuocation of Saincts (as your self confesse) or other such like errours of theirs, as you terme them. Why are you so forgetfull, or rather so impudent, to speake con∣traries in so litle a roome? Such simple aunswering will not serue your aduersaries learned booke, which you in vaine goe about by foolish Rhetorike to disgrace, when the world seeth you are driuen to the wall, and either can say nothing, or doe say that, which confuteth is selfe with the euident absurditie there∣of.
FVLK. 13. Maister Whitaker is not so inconside∣rate, to play fast and loose, as you are intemperate and vntrue, in accusing him. Howbeit, there is no doubt, but he will meete you, and handle you, according to your vertues. But seeing you giue such high commendation to Campions pamphlet, as that you call it a learned booke, (wherein beside a litle ranke Rhetorike, more meete for a boye, that learneth to practise his figures, than for a graue Diuine, to vse in so serious a cause, there is nothing that any learned man may thinke worthy of any aunswere). we may well perceiue what you count learning, & what be the pillers of your popish religion. The bookes are both in print, let the worlde iudge of both indifferently.
