¶Eusebius. I commend thy modesty, Irenie: but come on Temporiser, thou askest if it be lawful by any means to communicate and be present at unlawful services. First tell me what thou meanest by this, by any means? wherefore rather doest not thou plainly demand, if it be all together lawful to communicate all manner of ways at these unlawful services.

¶Temporiser. ⟨image 26⟩I understand that there are1 .ij. manner of communications: one is, in opinion, will, affection, & mind. The other is only outwardly as it were in a certain outward behaviour: & forasmuch as my communication is, neither in opinion, will nor mind, but only in outward gesture, I do not ask therefore, whether every manner of communication be lawful (for I know the first to be altogether unlawful,) but I require to know if it be lawful to communicate by any means, understanding thereby the outward society and communication.

The other is only outwardly as it were in a certayne outward behauiour: & forasmuch as my communication is, neyther in opinion, wyll nor mynd, but only in outward iesture, I do not aske therfore, whether euerye maner of cōmunication be lawful (for I know the fyrste to be altogether vnlawfull,) but I requyre to know yf it be lawfull to communicate by anye meanes, vnderstāding therby the outward societe and communication.
