This is the very issue of the case: Whether the Doctrine that we profess, be the Trueth, or no. Which thing through God's Grace, by this our conference, in part may appear. I beseech God the Author of all Truth, and the Father of Light, so to open our hearts, that the thing that is the Truth in deed, may appear to us to be the Truth.

For Christ verily, when the Pharisees charged him with Sorcery, as one that had some familiar Sprites, and wrought many things by their help: I, said he, have not the Devil, but do glorify my Father: but it is you, that have dishonoured me, and put me to rebuke and shame. And S. Paul, when Festus the Lieutenant scorned him, as a mad man: I (said he) most deer Festus, am not mad, as thou thinkest, but I speak the Words of Truth & soberness. And the ancient Christians, when they were slandered to the people for mankillers, for Adulterers, for committers of incest, for disturbers of the common Weals, and did perceive, that by such slanderous accusations the Religion which they professed, might be brought in question, namely if they should seem to hold their peace, & in manner confess the fault: lest this might hinder the free course of the Gospel, they made Orations, they put up Supplications, and made means to Emperors, and Princes, that they might defend them selves and their Fellows in open Audience.
