A weighing and considering of the InterimA waying and considering of the Interim

And because the dissevering and parting from the church is made an heavy and high fault (to our despise and shame, be ye sure) is this our answer for need thereagainst, which the book it self acknowledgeth, that the teachers must find fault with false learning, and false Godsseruyces. ⟨image 14⟩Now if the withstanders of the trueth will not give place, and that so discord and debate follow thereupon, so be the pesecuters of the trueth, & specially in needy weighty matters, faulty before God, and not the poor Godly people that preach or receive the trueth. This is plain, and the saying of S. Paul is known to many. If an Angel in heaven preach any other gospel, hold him accursed. But that there be many great errors and misuses defended of the Rome bishop and his, now at this time, that is plain: And the book it self hath found fault at some errors, which yet the Counsels holden at Trident and Bono•y have strengthened.

And because the disseueryng and parting from the church is made an heuy and highe faute (to our dispise and shame, be ye suer) is this our answere for neade theragaynst, which the boke it self acknowledgeth, that the teachers muste fynde faute with false learning, and false Godsseruyces. ⟨image 14⟩Nowe yf the withstanders of ye trueth wyll not geue place, and yt so discorde and debate folowe therevppon, so be the pesecuters of the trueth, & specially in needy weighty matters, fauty before God, and not the poare Godly people that preach or receyue the trueth. This is plain, and the saying of S. Paul is knowen to many. If an Aungell in heauen preache any other ghospell, holde hym accursed. But that there be many great erroures and mysvses defended of the Rome bushop and his, nowe at this tyme, that is playne: And the boke it selfe hath foūde fawte at some erroures, whiche yet the Counsels holden at Trident and Bono•y haue strengthened.

Let this be enough for the excuse of our churches at this time
