The fifth sin (supposed) is our wilfull persisting in our schism, lightly re∣garding* 1.1 reverend mens labours and sinfully despising weaker meanes, &c.

It is well knowne that Mr B. how earnestly soever he pleads* 1.2 with vs for the contrary, doth himselfe as much neglect (save for his owne purposes) the iudgment of other men, as any other: ney∣ther is there one minister in the land (I am verily perswaded) with whō he suiteth, but a right Ismael is he lesse or more, having his hand against every man and every mans against him.

Well I deny our separation to be schism, (as we take the word) much lesse do we persist wilfully in it. And for the iudgment of other men, as we despise not the meanest, so neyther do we pin our faith vpon the sleeves of the most learned.
