Galat. 3. ••.

The text.

O senselesse Galathians, who hath ∴ bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eies, Iesus Christ was proscribed, being crucified among you?

The note.

For any people or person to forsake the faith of their first Apostles and conuersion, at the voice of a few nouellaries, seemeth to wise men a very bewitching and senselesse brutishnes. Such is the case of our poore coun∣trie, Germanie, and others.

The answer.

That Rome hath forsaken the faith and doctrine taught by their first Apostles Paul and Peter, as this Epistle doth most e∣uidently testifie, at the voice of their most proud prelats: and that other countries haue from thence tasted of the same cup, sée∣meth, (not to wise worldlings) but to the spirit of God, and to those that are thereby led and guided, a very bewitching, and yet withall the iust iudgement of God vpon those, that had not, or haue not any loue to the truth. Thus haue you most manifest∣ly your note returned vpon your selues. For Paule and Peter were out of all doubt the Apostles of God, and the doctrine deli∣uered by them voide of all filth, and corruptions.
