Rainoldes. I pray be good to M. Jewell for M. Optatus and Fulgentius sake: who 1both have misalleged the same words of Christ, yea one of them in like sort, as Bishop Jewell did. For, to prove that the words of the Lord to Isaiah, tCry and cease not, were spoken not to Isaiah only, but to all preachers, he useth this reason, that Christ doth say to his disciples, what I say to one of you, I say to all. Wherein, as the doctrine of a preachers duty is true, though the proof be false: so is in Bishop Jewell the doctrine of the Apostles duty. And Bishop Jewels proof, from one Apostle unto all, is better grounded on the words, then the other from Isaiah the Prophet to all preachers. Moreover the fault remaineth uncorrected in •ulgentius and Optatus: Bishop Jewell hath corrected it. Wherefore if you condemn him of foully corrupting and falsifying the scripture, because he misalleged that sentence of Christ: what judgement will you give of Fulgentius and Optatus?
Rainoldes. I pray be good to M. Iewell for M. Optatus and Fulgentius sake: who 1both haue missealleaged the same words of Christ, yea one of them in like sort, as Bishop Iewell did. For, to proue that the words of the Lord to Esay, tCry and cease not, were spoken not to Esay onely, but to all preachers, he vseth this reason, that Christ doth say to his disciples, what I say to one of you, I say to all. Wherin, as the doctrine of a preachers duty is true, though the proofe be false: so is in Bishop Iewell the doctrine of the Apostles duety. And Bishop Iewels proofe, from one Apostle vnto all, is better grounded on the wordes, then the other from Esay the Prophet to all preachers. Moreouer the faulte remaineth vncorrected in •ulgentius and Optatus: Bishop Iewell hath corrected it. Wherefore if you condemne him of fouly corrupting and falsifying the scripture, because he missealleaged that sentence of Christ: what iudgement will you giue of Fulgentius and Optatus?
