I take not here upon me to judge other mens consciences: but such men there have bin, as we may know by reading, & as God hath opened by notable judgement, & I pray God there be none such now. I pray God there be none that offend against their own conscience, and knowledge, and against the holy spirit of God.
I take not here vpon me to iudge other mens consciences: but such men there haue byn, as we may know by reading, & as God hath opened by notable iudgement, & I pray God there be none such now.

But alas, I speak not now of the ignorant and unlearned sort of people, that offend of simplicity, and have a zeal of God, although it be not according to knowledge: but I speak of them that be learned, that know well, that we teach you nothing this day, but that Christ and his Apostles taught before us, & was evermore frequented throughout the church, until all things grew to corruption. And of the contrary part, they do know, and their consciences do testify unto them, that their doctrine for the most part is contrary to the use of the primitive church, contrary to the Apostles, contrary to Christ himself.
But alas, I speake not now of the ignorant and vnlearned sort of people, that offend of simplicity, and haue a zeale of God, although it be not according to knowledge: but I speake of them that be learned, that knowe well, that wee teach you nothing this day, but that Christ and his Apostles taught before vs, & was euermore frequēted throughout the church, vntil al things grew to corruption. And of the contrary parte, they doe know, and their consciences doe testifie vnto them, that their doctrine for the most parte is contrary to the vse of the primitiue churche, contrary to the Apostles, contrary to Christe himselfe.
