These men are wont to speak much of a certain secrete Doctrine of theirs, & of their manifold & sundry readings. Let them therefore bring forth somewhat now, if they can, that it may appear, they have at least read, or do know somewhat. They have often stoutly noised in all corners, where they went, that all the parts of their Religion be very old, and have been approved, not only of the multitude, but also by the consent, and continual observation of all Nations, and times. Let them therefore once in their life, she we this their Antiquity: Let them make appear to the eye, that the things, whereof they make such a do, have taken so long, and large increase: Let them declare, that all Christian Nations have agreed by consent to this their Religion.
