Neither are they always Thieves, that spoil a Thief. Oftentimes the True man forceth the Thief to lay down, that he hath untruly gotten.
Neither are they alwaies Theeues, that spoyle a Theefe. Oftentimes the True man forceth the Theefe to laie downe, that he hath vntruely gotten.
Cicero saithe,1 Fures earum rerum, quas ceperunt, nomina commutant. Thieves use to change the names of such things, as they have stolen: even as these Thieves use to do, that call the Communion, the Mass: and their Mass, the Communion: Private, Public:2 and Public, Private: and, as the Prophet Isaiah saith, Good, Evil: and Evil, Good: Light, Darkness: and Darkness, Light: and thus by subtle shift of words,3 miserably spoil and rob the people. To be short, the Thief flieth the trial of the light, even as you, M. Harding, and your fellows flee the trial of God's Holy Word.
