Madame the last time that it pleased you to give us audience we made declaration according to the grace, that our Lord gave us, of the article that was propounded touching the Church, the marks, and authority of the same. Wherein we have so followed the word of God that every one as we judge had occasion to be con tented with our answer. But in stead to approve that which was spoken by us, we have been demanded by what power we minister the word of God and the holy Sacraments, ⟨image 39⟩and besides all that there was no thing spared that might make our cause more odious.1 We can not tell for what purpose this was set forward. For first of all we came not hither to minister the word of God nor the Sacraments. Wherefore there was no need to ask us by what authority we would do it. If it should be said that it is to cause us render a reason of that which we have done heretofore.
