[ 31] I Am not appoynted a Iudge: but Christians must not be lyke Horse, and Moyle, that haue no vnderstan∣ding: I onely admonish you, as is e∣uery mās duty of such doctrine as you teach to the poore people, which is cor∣rupt and therefore knowing the same I haue manifested it to the world: that your cause might sooner (if you be dis∣posed) come to tryall: and that trueth might appeare where it is.

You further discourse of the second comming of Christ: I hope you meane it not otherwise: but in the resurrecti∣on of all fle••••. I writ this because HN. in the preface of his booke, called a good Instruction of the vpright sayth, the 2. division, sayth these wordes. For as much thei, as that now in this same newest day: the comming of Iesus Christ, as a Lord in his maiestye, from the right hand, of God his Father appearth and becommeth manife∣sted vnto 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with full clearenes of his heaunly illumination, ccording to the scrip••••••e. &c.

Here HN. telleth, that Iesus Christ is come, and is manefest to you of his Familye: and that he is come from the right hand of God his father. Our fayth is, that he shall come from thēce in the end of the world: but HN. tel∣leth his Familye, that he is come: therefore your wordes, and your Au∣thors agree not: this is very suspitious doctrine, touching the resurrection: and this augmenteth more suspition, that one of your Family, being asked before many witnesses touching Chri∣stes comming to iudgement, did aun∣swere playne, that he was already come: meaning his second comming: I could name the partye, yet my hope is, that you teach not so heathnishly of our resurrection, and of Christ his glorious comming to Iudgement.
