BVRTON.

And for my part, I had rather some fire-sparkling zeale, yet guided with right iudgment should euen trans∣port mee with a detestation of the Church of Rome, as a false Church; then that I wot not what charity with∣out Zeale, without sound iudgement, should so farre possesse me, as to acknow∣ledge the Church of Rome for a true Church, yea or yet for a true, or truly visible Church.

Answer.

Your zeale (though transporting you) is guided with right iudgement: your Author (though Reuerend) is possessed with a charity without zeale, without sound iudgement; of the two you preferre your owne: it seemes you dwell by bad neighbours, Mr. Burton; Else you fall within the compasse of Catoes Hoc faciunt stulti, &c.
