Verely M. Harding, vve neuer said Luther and Zuinglius vvere the first publisshers of the Gospel.
Harding. Proued by their owne wordes, that Luther was the first publissher of the Gospel.
A great Vntruthe. In this your Defence, touching Lu∣ther you saie no lesse Pag. 17. thus: Doctor Luther beganne to publishe the Gospel of Christe. If he that beginneth to pu∣blish, be the first publisher, then you said that Luther was the first publisher. If there be any difference betwen these two termes, then haue you wel defended your selfe. If there be none (as al that vnderstand English, maie easily see there is none) then you haue proued your selfe giltie of a great vntruthe.
But I must rather put you in remembrance of your owne wordes vttered in the Apologie. Who called the first sedicious, and heretical preaching of Martin Luther, and Hulderike Zuinglius, Herbam Euangelij, the first spring of the Gospel, or the very first appearing of the Gospel, as your
descriptionPage 102
Ladie Interpreter termeth it? Againe, who saith, that forty yeres agone, and vpwarde (that is at the first setting forth of Luther and Zuinglius) the truth was vnknowē, and vnhard of, and that they first came to the knowledge, and preaching of the Gospel? Be not these the wordes of your owne Apologie? Be they not set forth in diuers bokes of diuers printes? And wil ye now tel the worlde, and beare vs also in hand, who be wel acquainted with your false dea∣linges, that ye neuer said so? What can any man vnder∣stande by the first spring, or first appearing of the Gospel, but the beginning of the Gospel? If the Gospel beganne with Luther and Zuinglius, how was it before? If before their time the Gospel was vnknowen, and vnhearde of (for so the Apologie saith) then where was there any truth at al? If it were not knowen, nor hearde of at al, where was it in al the earth? Or imagine ye that it maie lie hid in some secrete place, without, and beside the harte, minde, and spirite of man? And if (as you saie) Luther and Zuinglius came first to the preaching of the Gospel, how were they not the first preachers of the Gospel? If they were the first preachers, how were they not also the first publishers of the Gospel? Thus you saie, and vnsaie. Yea, and Nay is one with you. And a Gods name al must be defended, be it yea, be it nay, be it true, be it false. But thus it is cleare, that your worde is not the Gospel. And God be praised, that we haue driuen you to eate your owne worde.
