S. Augustine saithe, 1Non eo modo persecutionem passi sunt Pseudoprophetae ab Elia, quomodo ipse Elias à Rege nequissimo: Neither were the Palse Prophets so persecuted by Elijah, as Elijah was persecuted by the wicked King. Surely Chrysostom saith, Quem videris in sanguine persequutionis gaudentem, Lupus est: Whom so ever ye see rejoicing in the Blood of persecution, he is the Wolf.

But ye pretend great good will, and say, Ye persecute and murder your Brethren for Love,1 as Christ persecuted the Jews. So I trow, Aristophanes saith, Philippides took a cudgel, and beat his Father, and all for love. How be it. M. Harding, neither are you armed, as Christ was armed: nor was Christ armed, as you are armed. I must say to you, as S. Augustine saith unto the Heretics the Donatists:2 Hanc formam ne ab ipsis quidem Judaeis persecutoribus accepistis. Illi enim persequuti sunt Carnem ambulantis in terra: Vos Evangelium sedentis in Coelo: Ye learned not this form of persecution, no not of the Jews. For they persecuted the Flesh of Christ walking in the Earth: You persecute the Gospel of Christ sitting in Heaven.
