M. Iewel countercharged with the like sharpenesse, and discourtesie of wordes, as he reproueth in his Aduersarie. The 3. Chapter.

BVT Sir, tel me, I pray you, what is your iudge∣ment touching these, and the like vncourteous wor∣des, and speaches, as you cal them, with whiche for the more part, you vntruly burthen me? Thinke you that in no case such manner of vtterance is lawful to be vsed? If you thinke so, you are deceiued M. Iewel. The example of Christ, Iohn Baptist, the Prophetes, the Apo∣stles, the ancient holy Fathers, shew it to be lawful: who, as it is before rehersed, in certaine cases vsed it so often. Verely I doubt not, but in this case (I meane, when a Ca∣tholike hath to conuince an Heretike) it is most lawful: yea not only lawful, but also most expedient for causes aboue touched. Neither in this case to vse such order of speache, is to be accompted Discourtesie, and Inciuilitie, as your vnnecessarie Ciuilitie interpreteth: but right zele, and iuste seueritie. That spirite of God, which adui∣seth vs by the mouth of the wise man,* 1.1 to answere a Foole according to his foolishnesse, admonisheth vs no lesse, in the treatie of Goddes causes with Heretiques, to vse suche verdure of Language, as may best represse the sawci∣nesse, and pride of their stomakes.

Neuerthelesse if you thought such sharpe language to be vtterly vnlawful, as a thing that may not stand with true modestie, and ciuilitie: how happed it, that so often times you forgote your selfe? It is no courteous dealing

M. Iewel, to reproue that in others, that you so cōmonly do your selfe. Touching bitter lāguage, wherof so bitter∣ly you complaine, it may please you at your good leisure, to cal to remembrance, whose wordes among infinite o∣thers these are, with what spirite, what charitie, what mo∣destie they haue benne by you vttered. Whiche wor∣des, as for a great parte they haue the outwarde shew of no lesse heate, and vehemencie, then you note in mine: so to any man of right iudgement, they seeme to be of a farre more spite, and malice.

A few principal flowers of M. Iewelles modest, quiet, and charitable speache, vttered against the Catholikes, taken, as they came to sight, out of his preten∣sed Defence, founde, partely in the Apo∣logie, partely in the texte of the said Defence, some few also in the Margent.
