But what needeth moe examples? Because we say, that justification standeth only upon the free grace and mercy of God: the adversaries report, that we forbid good works. And because we speak against superstition used in fasting, as before us did Isaiah, Paul, and Christ himself: they report, that we would have no fasting. And because we reprove the errors and abuses in the manner of prayer: they say, we would not have the people to pray. And because we restore the sacraments to the first institution of our Saviour Christ, and the example of the primitive Church: they say, we take away the Sacraments.
