The Apologie, Cap. 16. Diuision. 4.
We desire to haue our cause knowen to al the worlde: they flee to comme to any trial.
M. Hardinge.
Then why came ye not to the* 1.1 chiefe, and moste lauful consistorie of the worlde, the late general Councel at Trent? VVhat trial shoulde we come vnto? Our Doctrine hath had too high a teacher, to be tried by men nowe. It hath ben approued too longe, to be put in daieinge in these daies at the later ende of the worlde.
The B. of Sarisburie.
That wée made not our appearance at your late Chapter at Tridente, ye haue already made our excuse. The Iourney was too lōge, to be taken in vaine. Ye saie, your Doctrine, be it right, be it wronge, maie not nowe be tried, nor put in daie∣inge. So saide sommetimes the Olde Donatiane Heretiques vnto S. Augustine, Disputare nolumus:* 1.2 & Baptizare volumus: Dispute wee wil not: But (continewe in our erroure, and) Baptize wee wil.
