O Lord what peril is it to have to do with these Hypocrites? Who could have scaped this snare, but Christ only which is the wisdom of the father, and knew all their maliciousness and crafty sleights? And as he then by his wisdom overcame them, so now doubtless he giveth wisdom to all his, to spy out and beware of […] subtle1 crafts. For such trains, traps, snares and subtleties, as these Pharisees laid for Christ, such have our Pharisaical Papists laid for Christs preachers. But he mercifully ever fulfilled his promise, dabo os & sapientiam, cui non possunt resistere omnes aduersarii vestri.

I will (saith Christ) give mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist. They shall not be tongue tied, they have their answer, yea so wise that their adversaries shall not be able to resist. They may well oppress it here in this world with power er, but they can not be able to overcome it with arguments of truth, no, all the pack of adversaries with all their subtleties, snares, and gins. They may rail upon it, as in many places lewd fellows do against Priests Marriages.
