Io. Whitgifte.
It is true that there is greate resistance so soone as the Lorde openeth any dore to his Gospell, and that by sundrie meanes, and diuers kindes of men, as the stories of the Churche from tyme to tyme declare, and dayly experience teacheth: it is also true, that many vnder this pretence of right gonernment, and restoring of discipline, haue and doe disturbe the Churches wherin the Gospel is sincerely preached, and the Sacraments rightly ministred, for further proufe wherof, and auoyding of tedious∣nesse, I referre you to maister Bullinger Lib. 6. cap. 10. aduersus Anabaptist. To Maister Caluine aduersus Anabaptist. To Maister Gualter in his Epistle dedicatorie before his* 1.1 commentarie vpon the first to the Corinthes. Therfore this pretence of restoring the right gouernment of the Churche, with so great disquietnesse of the same, is but a co∣uer to hyde the further purposes of Satan the enimie of the peace and quietnesse of the Churche.
