They allege out of Chrysostom, that who so ever speak of their own, do untruly attribute to them selves the Spirit of God. But they remember not, how they, who are gathered together in the name of Christ,1 do not speak of their own, because Christ, who is the truth, hath promised to be in the middest of them. Now if they tell us, that the Fathers at Trent were not gathered together in the name of Christ, how much more truly may we reply to them, that the temporal men assembled together at Augsburg, at Marpurg, at Worms, at Smalcald, at Baden, at Westminster, or any where else, came not together in the name of Christ? I require but a man of common sense to sit Judge in this cause. They can not possibly bring any thing out of the Scriptures, or ancient Fathers, for maintenance of this their great case.
They alleage out of Chrysostome, that who so euer speake of their owne, doo vntruely attribute to them selues the Spirite of God. But they remember not, howe they, who are gathered together in the name of Christe,1 doo not speake of their owne, because Christe, who is the truthe, hath promised to be in the middest of them. Nowe if they tel vs, that the Fathers at Trent were not gathered together in the name of Christe, howe mutche more truly maie wee reply to them, that the temporal menne assembled together at Auspurg, at Marpurg, at VVormes, at Smalcald, at Baden, at VVestminster, or any where els, came not together in the name of Christe? I require but a man of common sense to sitte Iudge in this cause. They can not possibly bringe any thinge out of the Scriptures, or auncient Fathers, for maintenance of this their great case.
