Let us consider furthermore this one thing: that Nicodemus and Joseph did communicate at the services and ceremonies of the law, according unto the commandment of God: in the which services there was no impiety, superstition nor falsity: but the Nicodemistes of our time, do communicate at the papistry, being full of the false services of the saints departed, of Angels and of Idols, with an infinite number of other superstitions, that daily provoke unto wrath the long patience and benignity of almighty GOD. Wherefore I pray thee Temporiser, what agreement is there thinkest thou, between the doings of Nicodemus and Joseph, & our counterfeit Nicodemistes?
