T. C. Pag. 70. Sect. 1. 2.

These two Anacletus and Anicetus you say are (*) 1.1 suspected, why do you say suspected, when as they haue bin conuinced and condemned, and stande vpon the pillorie with the cause of forgerie

written in great letters, that he whiche runneth maye reade. Some of the Papistes them selues haue suspected them, but those whiche maynteyne the truthe, haue condemned them as full of po∣perie, full of blasphemie, and as those in whome was the very spirite of contradiction to the Apo∣stles and their doctrine.

And doe you marke what you saye, when you saye that these are but suspected? Thus muche you say that it is suspected or in doubte, whether the whole body of Poperie and Antichristianitie were in the Apostles time, or soone after, or no. For Clement was in the Apostles time, and their scholer▪ and so you leaue it in doubte whether the Apostles appoynted and were the authors of po∣perie or no. I thinke if euer you had read the Epistles, you would neuer haue cited their autho∣rities, nor haue spoken so fauourably of them as you doe.

Io. Whitgifte.

I say that they are not without iust cause suspected, whiche you haue left out, and therefore it appeareth that you haue layde aside sinceritie. I haue alleadged them with as little credite vnto them, as eyther master Caluine, or any other dothe. You your selfe haue sundrie times in this Replie vsed (as I haue sayde) as forged authors as these be, with lesse defacing of them. Turpe est doctori. &c. I can shew good proofe that I haue read their Epistles: but I am not disposed eyther to boast of my own reading, or to deface other mens: I leaue that to you.
