M. Hardinge.

Page 454

Holy Ghoste speaketh by Salomon) is terrible like an armie of men set in bataile raie.

Firste frier Bacon the Coniurer, and negromanser, as commonly they saie o him, he is set in the forewarde, a man of greate fame forsoothe.

Then commeth in the good plaine father Gerson, a writer in our Graundfathers time: he com∣plaineth, that Friers and studentes gaue them selues too mutche to the vnprofitable subtilitie of Scho∣lastical questions. VVhat maketh this againste the faithe of the Churche?

After these, this Defender placeth in an out winge the falle brethern of Lyons, commonly called VValdenses, or Pauperes de Lugduno, notorius Heretikes condemned of the Churche. These be∣inge detestable Heretikes condemned of the Churche, we recke not what they saie, no more then what Luther saieth, what Zuinglius, what Caluine, what these Defenders them selues saie, what Antichriste, what Sathan saieth. For the enimies of Gods truthe maie not be admitted to geue witnes againste the Truthe.
