THat his daughter Mary was [ 17] maryed to a yonker you affirme: Therefore not all are lyes, which are by his neighbors reported of him, as you sayd before: & why may not all the rest be true, onely (you) speaking con∣trary? some of these persons were at the mariages, which haue testified their knowledge. I thinke at that tyme, you were not acquainted with HN. nor his doctrine: and therefore, your bare denyall is onely heresay: but these are no great matters to stand vpon: you confesse that he could not be found, being sought for, then was he fled, before his accusation was for strange doctrine, and not for a woman, as you auouch: But certeynly, If the Page  [unnumbered] Magistrates should cary away his goodes▪ for an accusation of strange doc∣trine, then were they not indifferent, neither can I be brought to credit your speach, nor thinke so vnreuerently of any Magistrates: but why sied he, if he were not guilty of any crime?

In •mden men know, that many Religions had peaceable habitation, without gaynsaying of the Magestrat: If the spirite of God, were so mighty in him, as he sayth it is: why did he not stay to render a reason of his doctrine, before the Magestrate▪ the perticulers being examined, your simple denyall agaynst so many witnesses, is scarce credible. But at •mden, from that day to this, opēly he durst not be séene: therefore some other matter was layd to his charge, then professing a strange doctrine. For his credite sake, it had be• conuenient, to haue geuen some reason, to proue that he was accused for no other cause: let the world iudge indifferently, where is more proba∣bilitye.
