Ye build over boldly, M. Harding, on Christs promises. God is true, what so ever he promise: But oftentimes men are false. Christ hath promised to be present,1 where so ever two, or three be gathered together in his name: But it appeareth by the words of the Prophet David, that Councils oftentimes meet together against God, and against his Christ. The Prophet Michaeas saith, Sic dicit Dominus de Prophetis, qui errare faciunt populum meum: Abominantur judicium, & omne rectum peruertunt: Super Dominum requiescebant, dicentes: Nunquid non est Dominus in medio nostri? Thus saith our Lord of the Prophets, that deceive my people: They abhor Judgement: they overthrow all that is right. And yet they rest them selves upon our Lord, saying, Is not our Lord in the middest amongst us?

Christe hath promised to be present,1 where so euer twoo, or three be geathered togeather in his name: But it appeareth by the woordes of the Prophete Dauid, that Councelles oftentimes meete togeather againste God, and againste his Christe. The Prophete Michaeas saithe, Sic dicit Dominus de Prophetis, qui errare faciunt populum meum: Abominantur iudicium, & omne rectum peruertunt: Super Dominum requiescebant, dicentes: Nunquid non est Dominus in medio nostri? Thus saithe our Lorde of the Prophetes, that deceiue my people: They abborre Iudgement: they ouerthrowe al that is right. And yet they reaste them sēlues vpon oure Lorde, saienge, Is not oure Lorde in the middest emongest vs?
