Io. Whitgifte.

Whither I accuse them iustly or no, I shall referre it to the Reader to iudge, after I haue set downe their very wordes, which indéede no Christian cares can pa∣ciently heare: pag. 157. they say thus: Reading is not feeding, but it is as euill as playing vpon a stage, and worse to. Which wordes if they be well marked and ioyned with the reason that followeth: for players yet learne their partes without booke. &c. must néedes signifie a mer〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 contempt of reading the scriptures, and a mynde that thinketh lesie edifying to come by reading, than by playing vpō a stage, which is an vntolerable blasphemy.

of this crime, but he that is bent without respect to assent vnto them in all thinges, though they be moste manifestly false, and moste absurde.

Whiche if it be true, then haue they not in your doctrine delyuered any of the sacramentes, &* 1.1 so consequently so many not baptized as haue bene baptizedby thē, to the proofe wher∣of your doctrine tendeth wholly. The like he hath after warde, pag. 128. Sect. 1.
