For as much as you referre vs to the Admonition to know what these thinges be that Chancellours. &c. take vpō thē, being lawful neyther for ciuil nor ecclesiasticall iurisdictiō, I will also referre you to my Answer made to that part of the Admonition.
Your slaunderous and opprobrious speaches against the men (hauing little to say* 1.1 against their offices) they must take in good part vntill you come foorth namely to accuse them: but I am sory that they (being as you saye suche persons) shall haue little occasion to be perswaded to amendment of life by you, whome they sée as fa∣ctious in religion, as they are péeuish in condition: as corrupt with affections, as they be with bribes: as deepe in spite and malice, as they be in drunkennesse: What di∣uinitie call you this, thus to libell against men in authoritie, whome you dare not accuse to their faces? I defend them not if ther be any such, nay I wish them seuere∣ly punished: but you vtter nothing lesse than the frutes of diuinitie, and I woulde haue you come foorth to accuse them. Touching their benefices and prebendes, they will defend themselues by the examples of your adherentes: whereof some haue shaken off the ministerie, and yet kéepe their Prebends, some misliking the state of this Church, crying out of the Canon lawe, the Court of faculties. &c. take notwith∣standing all the benefyte thereby that they can, some of them reteyning two, some 4. &c. and yet do full little duetie, nay rase vp rather than plant.
But why do I fall into this vayne, which I mislike in you? I am therevnto forced by your intollerable outrageousnesse, the which howsoeuer I suffer against my selfe, yet may I be bold something to say vnto you, thus swelling and raging agaynste other.
