A detection of sundrie foule errours, lies, sclaunders, corruptions, and other false dealinges, touching doctrine, and other matters vttered and practized by M.Iewel, in a booke lately by him set foorth entituled, a defence of the apologie. &c. By Thomas Harding doctor of diuinitie.

Iewel. Pag. 48.

Of Abailard, and Almarike, and certaine other your strange names (he meaneth Apostoliques, Peterbrusians, VValdenses, Albigenses, and I∣magebreakers) vve haue no skil. They are none of ours.

Harding. That these Heretiques be of M. Iewelles side.

* 1.1I am glad M. Iewel, to heare you so absolutely to re∣noūce these wicked heretiques, at lest in wordes. Would God ye would as freely forsake their Heresies in your doinges.* 1.2 First as touching Petrus Abailardus, he denied the free wil of man. Doo not your great Maisters Wiclef, Luther, Zuinglius, Peter Martyr, and Caluine the same? If these be yours, how is not Abailard also yours.

Almarik the Frenchman taught of Images, of Aul∣ters, of Inuocation of Saintes, and of Transubstantiation, as you doo, condemning the Church of Idololatrie in al these pointes, as you doo. Of this Almarik then haue you no skil? Is he not thus farre yours? What, are you be∣come an other man,* 1.3 then menne take you to be? The A∣postolikes denied Purgatorie, as you doo. The Waldenses in many pointes agree iumpe with you, or rather you with them. They renounced the Popes Primacie, they condemned Purgatorie, they called Images, by the name of Idolles, they contemned holy Water, and such other good and holesome ceremonies, they reproued the Re∣ligion of the Begging friers, with such like, al as ye doo: I marueile therefore why they are none of yours.

Verely Aeneas Syluius saith, that Iohn Huss* 1.4 (whom in the nexte line you allowe for yours) imbraced the wicked secte of the Waldenses. And why then are not the one yours, as wel as the other? As for Imagebreakers,* 1.5 if they be not yours, whose are they? They were no Papistes (your selfe wil confesse I trowe) that haue ouerthrowen Images in England, and in Scotland, in

Fraunce, and now of late here in sundry places of the low Countrie. They be yours, they be yours M. Iewel, and such others a great many moe: with whom in a rueful procession ye are like to ioine, singing Vae with them, if ye repent not, and sing an other song.
