Again, hominibus haereticis complevit, The Counsellors are not only pore, and beggarly, but also Heretics. The accusation of Heresy is heavy, & should not be laid upon any, but after due proof. Paul the Apostle was accused for Heresy: but he answered:1 After that way, which they call heresy, worship I the God of my Fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and the Prophets. The high Priests and Pharisees called our Saviour a Deceiver. 2All the Christians of the Primitive Church were called Heretics. 3Misistis per omnē terram, qui circumirent & dicerent impiam haeresim surrexisse Christianorum. You have chosen (saith Justine the Martyr) certain men fit for that purpose, and have sent them over the world, to go about & say there is a wicked heresy of the Christians sprung up. Even so it liketh the Pope to speak of them which be in authority ⟨p. 63⟩among us, and calleth them Heretics. God forbid his mouth should be a slander, & all be Heretics, whom he so calleth. Then as many, as reprove his errors, and refuse to fall down and worship him, shall be Heretics. They spare not to say so.4 Qui Romanae Ecclesiae Privilegium auferre conatur, hic procul dubio labitur in haresim: He doubtless falleth into heresy, which goeth about to take away the privilege of the Church of Rome.
