wolde obiecte agaynst hym but hym selfe. For here he sayth [ A] that I make it heresie to call presbyteros an elder, whych thyng I neuer sayed nor thought. But I sayed & saye and trewth I saye, that Tyndale dyd in his englysh trāslacyon chaūge the word of preste in to senior of an heretycall mynde and en¦tent to set forth his heresye / wherby he techeth that presthe•• is no sacrament.
For as for this worde elder, how coulde I then charge hym wyth yt as an heresye / when he had not then translated elder but senior, tyll now that he hath by lenger laysour a∣mendyd yt and made yt worse. So that ye may fyrste here se a pece of his playne poetrye double proued and double re∣proued / by whyche he layeth vnto me the thynge that I ne∣uer sayed nor had at that tyme eyther cause to saye or occa∣syon to thynke vppon. [ B]
Nor nowe I saye not that yt is heresye, yf he haue as he saith translated synnes that tyme presbyteros by this worde el∣der: but I say he doth it with the mynde of an heretyque to set forth his heresye. For ellys I wolde not call it heresye, yf one wolde trāslate presbyteros a blok: but I wold say he were a blok hed. And as very a blokhed were he, that wold trans¦late presbyteros an elder in stede of a preste, for that this english worde elder sygnyfyeth no more a preste, then this greke worde presbyteros sygnyfyeth an elder stykke.
And yet this thynge beynge so properly spoken as ye se: he sayth that the olde translacyon in latyne redde in the chyrch this .xiiii. hūdred yere, calleth presbyteros an elder in lyke wyse. whych worde of Tyndale I wolde call a lye / sauynge yt yt is more then a lye by a syllable. [ C]
