But I will not bring M. Ivel out of his professed study to far to seek Laws. For in deed we need not go to law for these matters, wherein the Church hath given sentence for us, but that our Adversaries refuse the judge after sentence. Which if they had done, when order permitteth it, at the beginning, and had plainly (as I fear me some of them think) denied them selves to be Christians, or at least of Christs Court in his Catholic Church: we should not have strived so long about these matters. We would have embraced the trueth of God in his Church quietly. whiles they sought another Judge according to their appetites and fantasies, as Turks, and Infidels do.
