An easy kinde of answering, & a verie slender defense for the crooked handeling of the scriptures, by the authors of the Admonition. But it is wittily done, so to passe o∣uer that which you can not mainteyn. Surely the authors of the Admonition are ve∣rie little beholding to you, for in most places you leaue them to answer for thēselues.
If sitting at the cōmunion be not holden to be necessarie, why do you then make a schisme* 1.1 in the church for it? do not you know yt M. Caluin, M. Bullinger, and others, writing a∣gainst the Anabaptists, do especially condemne them for makyng a tumulte in the Churche aboute externall and indifferente things? S. Paule sayeth, If any luste to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God, and he meaneth in externall rites. But the question is whether the church must giue place to you, or you to the church, in that thing that by your owne confession may be vsed.
