M. Hardinge.

As ye runne foorthe your race, and with lieinge amplification boaste and bragge of the Truthe of your Doctrine, and of the Innocencie of your demeanour, yee fall into a greate incon∣uenience and ouersighte. VVas the lighte extinguished in all Israell, till that lewde Friere came, and Zwinglius‡ 1.1 the swarte Rutter? Shall we now change the olde songe of Micheas the Prophete. Out of Sion shal come the Lawe,* 1.2 and the woorde of our Lorde from Ierusalem, and singe a new Songe, Out of* 1.3 VVittenberg is come the Gospel, and the woorde of the Lorde from Zurich, and Geneua?

If Luther and Zwinglius firste came to the knowledge and preachinge of the Gospel,* 1.4 what meante Christe to breake his promise, who saide, I wil be with you al daies til the ende of the worlde?

Againe howe forgate ye the olde prouerbe, a lier it behoueth to be mindeful? Remember ye not howe this is* 1.5 contrary to al your owne Doctrine? For saie ye not other wheres, that God had alwaies his number of the electe, and his inuisible Churche? Therefore this muste ye recante and cal backe a∣gaine, or els shal ye pul al the rable of sundry your owne sectes vpon your shoulders, whose filthy rai∣linges,* 1.6 and vile vpbraidinges poore soules ye shal neuer be able to abide.
