We are not gone from the Church of God, M. Harding: We are gone only from you, that have so unreverently abused the Church. But ye feel good ease, ye say, and are well relived by our departure, as, to use your homely comparisons, a sick body is relived by a purgation. God of his mercy grant, that ye may likewise be purged of all the rest. So shall ye feel more ease, and be better relived.
Wée are not gonne from the Churche of God, M. Hardinge: Wée are gonne onely from you, that haue so vnreuerently abused the Churche. But ye feele good ease, yée saie, and are wel reliued by our departure, as, to vse your homely comparisons, a sick body is reliued by a purgation. God of his mercie graunt, that yée maie likewise be purged of al the reste. So shal yée féele more ease, and be better reliued.
S. Hierome saith, 1Hebraei dicunt, quòd ea nocte, qua egressus est Israel ex Aegypto, omnia in Aegypto Templa destructa sunt: sive terrae motu, five ictu fulminum. Spiritualiter autem dicimus, quòd egredientibus nobis ex Aegypto, errorum Idola corruant, & omnis Peruersarum Doctrinarum cultura quatiatur: The Rabbins, or Hebrew Doctors say, that the same night, that Israel departed out of Egypt, all the Idolatrous Temples in Egypt were destroyed: either by Earthquake, or by Lightening. But here of we learn, in a Spiritual sense, that when we depart out of Egypt (that is to say, from the company of Idolaters) the Idols of error fall to the ground, and all the honour of false Doctrine is shaken down. Such relief, M. Harding, we trust, ye shall find by our departure.
S. Hierome saithe, 1Hebraei dicunt, quòd ea nocte, qua egressus est Israel ex Aegypto, omnia in Aegypto Templa destructa sunt: siue terrae motu, fiue ictu fulminum. Spiritualiter autem dicimus, quòd egredientibus nobis ex Aegypto, errorum Idola corruant, & omnis Peruersarum Doctrinarum cultura quatiatur: The Rabines, or Hebrewe Doctoures saie, that the same night, that Israel departed out of Egypte, al the Idolatrous Temples in Egypte were destroied: either by Earthquake, or by Lighteninge. But here of wee learne, in a Spiritual sense, that when wee departe out of Egypte (that is to saie, from the companie of Idolaters) the Idolles of erroure falle to the grounde, and al the honoure of false Doctrine is shaken downe. Sutche reliefe, M. Hardinge, wée trust, yée shal finde by our departure.
