The Epist. of T. C. Sect. 13.

All these accusations as wel against the cause, as the fauourers therof, albeit they be many and diuers: yet are they no other, thā which haue bin long sithens in the Prophets, apostles, & our sauior Christs, & now of late in our times obiected against the truth, & the professors therof. And therefore as y^e sunne of the truth then appered, & brake through al those clouds, which rose against it, to stop the light of it: so no doubt this cause being of the same nature, will haue the same effect. And as all those sclanders could not bring the truth in disgrace, with those y^t loued it: so the children of y^e truth through these vntrue reports, wil neither leaue the loue of this cause, which they haue alredy cōcei∣ued, nor yet ceasse to enquire diligently, & to iudge indifferētly of those surmises which are put vp a∣agaynst it.

Io. Whitgifte.

These be but words of course, which men of any sect (though not truly) wil apply vnto thēselues, if they be otherwise delt with, than they can wel beare. The truth cer∣tainly can not be kept vnder by any meanes, and yet sometime error ouershadoweth the truth euen as the cloudes do the Sunn. My hope also is, that men will not be ca∣ried away with slaunderous reportes▪ (for if they shoulde, then musre you néedes pre∣uayle) but with sounde reasons, and the truth of the cause.
