I haue sayde truely, that we are not bounde to their examples: I doe not denie* 1.1 but that examples may be followed, and one ought to followe an other in that which is good and conuenient. But I haue shewed before, that one Churche is not bound of necessitie in all things to followe an other: onely the Church of Rome is so arrogant and proude as to chalenge that prerogatiue.
I haue great cause to expostulate with you, for this your vnchristian, vnbrother∣ly, and most vniust handling of me. For where, or in what words doe I pinche at their reformation? Wherein doe I vse any insultation vpon the afflicted, and agaynst them? is this to pinche at them, or to insult agaynst them, to wishe that touching religion, they were in that state and condition that Englande is? to wish that vnto them, that they grone for themselues? Surely fleshe and bloud will hardely suffer me to put vp this iniurie: But I am taught patience I thanke God, and the Lorde forgiue you, & roote out that roote of bitternesse that is so déepe in your heart.
