Rainoldes. I grant. For he offended not in the truth of the gospel, but yin walking according to it, that having lived before not as the Jews, but Gentile-like, yet zthen he left the Gentiles for fear of the Jews, and adissembled his judgement touching that point of Christian doctrine. But this doth so much more convince both your Church of Judaizing in her ceremonies, and your doctrine of corrupting the gospel with that leaven. For if S. Peter bwas to be condemned, as causing them to Judaize, whom through infirmity he drew by example to play the Jews in one rite: what may your Church be thought of, which of settled judgement doth move and force Christians to play the Jews in so many? And he did acknowledge the truth of the doctrine by silence, and submission, when S. Paul reproved him. But cPope Innocentius saith that they lye who touch your Church for it. Wherefore the Pope, or rather the Popes and Papists all, who maintain the doctrine of the Trent-Council approving both dthe rest of your Jewish rites, and namely ethat of unction confirmed out of Moses by Pope Innocentius: they do not offend as the true Apostle of Christ ⟨p. 574⟩S. Peter did; but as the false Apostles, fwho troubled the Galatians, and perverted the gospel by mingling of the law with it.
