[ 1369] Silence, in the cause of Gods honour, condemned.
HErodotus writes of a dumb Son that Croesus had,* 1.1 who when his Father was
endangered in a battel, on a suddain his tongue was loosed, and he cryed
out, Parce, Rex est, O spare him, hee's the King; So, when Gods glory is in

the Lord?* 1.2Luther will be accounted proud, passionate, Enemy to the Pope, or
any thing rather then to be found guilty of sinfull silence, when the cause of God
