* 1.1First I aunswere S, Paul sayth. Oportet hereses esse vt electi probentur, there must be heresies, that the elect might be tryed and made manifest. It is written also, Sathan stood among the sonnes of god. Also there are tares among the corne, furthermore they went from vs, but they be not of vs.
Now secondly I aunswere: I denie this argument. Heretikes be among the electe, Sathan among the children of god, tares among wheat, goates among shepe, Ill fisshes among the good. Ergo, the electe children of God, are not the children of god. Ergo, wheat is not wheat, Shepe be not shepe, But if you will make a good argument, you should conclude thus. Ergo, tares be tares, heretikes be heretikes,* 1.2 Ill fishes be ill fishes.
Althoughe the whole rablemence of Papistes do agree together in persecu∣tyng of Christ and his gospell, yet there is great dissention and sectes among thē, as it may well appeare vnto them, whiche shall read their worckes,* 1.3 As the Tho∣mistes, the Scotistes about the originall sinne of the virgine, the Henricistes & o∣ther questionistes, who fighteth and writeth one agaynst another. What say you to your owne men whiche wrote of late dayes, Gardener & Smith, who do write contrary doctrines about the Sacrament. Likewise Pighius and E••kius write contrarie doctrines about originall sinne.
