We for our part know, as now we have proved, that ye have not learned these things of Christ, nor of the Apostles, nor of the Fathers: but of Luther, Zwinglius, Oecolampadius, Calvin, Peter Martyr, Bucer, and such other Apostates: and that ye do most falsely, and wickedly lead the people into the Pit with you. And therefore ye are justly condemned by the Church, and deemed Heretics, &c.
