Answer.

Whether you deale well with your Authors or no I know not: for you do not seuer them so wel as you should; and indeed wee shall finde in the end, that you might well haue ioyned them together as one man; for any disagree∣ment that can be found between them: It seemes here you haue to doe with one onely: for I must goe by guesse; not knowing wel what to make of your answer: you seeme to deny the Assump∣tion of the Argument, by demanding who may bee saued in the Church of Rome? and then bring in your author answering in the name of the Church of England: and indeed (taking the words you haue related, in a good sense, as I doubt not but the Author meant them, and not as you misconstrue them) they may well be deliuered, not onely in the name of our Church; but of all the reformed Churches in the world.

saluation to some ignorant silly soules, whose humble peaceable obedience makes them safe a∣mong any part of men, that pro∣fesse the foundation Christ.
