Mark. 3. 21.

The text.

And when they had heard of it, they went forth to lay hands on him, for they said, that he was become ∴ madde.

The note.

See here the conceit of worldly friendes, who thinke the zeale of reli∣gion madnesse, and therefore count them mad, that are zealous in Gods cause and for the Catholike faith: and the more zealous the more mad.

The answer.

Alwayes worldly wise men thought the profession of Christi∣an truth madnesse, or follie: and godlie wise men do thinke the like of them, that are zealous they wote not for what, and can giue none other reason of their faith, but they beléeue as the church beléeueth, which implicate faith you count Catholike, and allow verie well in your blind followers.
