Salomon sayth that the beginnyng of the 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ordes of an vnwise man is folyshnesse, b〈1 line〉〈1 line〉t the* 1.1 latter ende of them is mere madnesse: euen so it 〈◊〉〈◊〉 oute by you; for whilest you suffer your selfe to be caryed headlong of your affections, you hurle, you knowe not what, nor at whome, whatsoeuer commeth firste to hande, and speake things that the eyes, and eares of all men, fee, and heare, to be otherwyse: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 yo〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 them to the Anabaptistes, and Donatistes, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 friende of yours mighte thinke, you sayde 〈◊〉〈◊〉, bycause suche alway〈1 line〉〈1 line〉s seekyng darke and solita∣rie places, myghte happely haue some fauourers, whych are not knowne. But when you ioyne them wyth the Papistes whych are commonly knowne to all men, whose doctrine they imp〈1 line〉〈1 line〉gne, as (*) 1.2 well as you, whose markes and badges they can lesse awaye wyth than you, whose com∣panie they flie more than you, whose punishment they haue called for more than you for your parte haue done, and therefore are condemned of them as 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ruell, when you oftentymes carie awaye the name of myldnesse and moderation, whych forsothe knowe (as you haue professed) no comman∣dement in the Scripture to put heretickes to death: when I saye, you ioyne them thus wyth the Papistes, you doe not 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉nely 〈◊〉〈◊〉 your credite in these vntrue furmises (wherein I truste wyth the indifferent reader your neuer had any) but you make all other things suspected, which you 〈◊〉〈◊〉, so that you gyue 〈◊〉〈◊〉 occasion to take vp the common prouerbe agaynst you, I wyll truste you no farther than I see you. After you haue thus yoked them with the Papistes, you go aboute to shewe wherein they drawe wyth them. Wherein I fyrst aske of you, if all they that affyrme or doe any thyng that the enimyes of the Churche doe, are forthwith 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉oyned and conspi∣red with them against the Church? what (a) 1.3 say you to S. Paule that ioyned wyth the (*) Pha∣rise〈1 line〉〈1 line〉s* 1.4 in the resurrection, with the false Apostles in taking no (*) wages of the Corinthians, our* 1.5 Sauiour Christ, which spake agaynst the Jewes which were then the onely people of God, as the Gentils dyd which were their enimyes, will you saye therefore that eyther Sainte Paule* 1.6 ioyned wyth the Phariseys or false Apostles, agaynst the Churche, or that our Sauiour Christ ioyned agaynst the Jewes wyth the Gentils? but let vs see your slaunders particularly,
