This is but a mere fancy: for first, it was brought into the Church before theyr Popes whome they hold vpon, inuaded that seate, as it is afterwards declared. Se∣condly, they be not matters that they make any greate accompt of. Thirdly, they know fullwell, that we could be without them: and that we (but only for obedience sake) do not much estéeme of them. Wherefore this is an argument framed only vp∣pon light coniectures. But beit all this were true, shall we for their fancie or fonde iudgement refuse to do that, which is lawfull, which we may d〈1 line〉〈1 line〉, and which we are bound to do? Or in making orders for the Church, must we enquire what their opi∣niō wil be? Then plucke downe Churches▪ &c. for of them they make a greater reck〈1 line〉〈1 line〉∣ning, than they do of the surplisse, or any other such like matter. I thinke verely that there is not one Papist in England that doth take occasion vpon any thing reteyned in this Church, to hope that their other trumperie and baggage will in the end come in 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉gayne: neyther is there any cause in respect of them, why they should so hope: and if they do, yet I doubte not but that they shall hoppe without that hope. But a man may ima∣gine if he will that there is a man in the Moone, with a tree on his backe. &c. and you cannot let him.
