Often times also that thing happeneth / which we read to have happened in Pauls time / among the Corinthians / that the brethren by this conversation / are brought to be partakers of the wickednesses / ¹vile customs / and Idolatries of the unfaithful: Which familiar conversation / doth not only couple them with the unfaithful / but it is a mean to make them Idolaters: for the avoiding of which / Paul crieth out in the same place: flee Idolatry. I do likewise passover with silence / ²that where our weak and unlearned brethren / do thus join themselves in familiar conversation with the unfaithful / it can not be but between them and the unfaithful / sometime there will happen communication of Religion: And then though it hap so that through want of learning / our weaklings do not slip and foil them selves / Yet because they can not dissolve / and answer unto the arguments / and subtle reasons of the adversaries aptly / there ariseth then contentious strifes between them / and not only this / but evil speakings / reproaches / and hatreds / which things are so far from edifying / that they do altogether hinder and let it: furthermore in these conflicts it hap penith / that our weaklings at length are putt to silence / so that they neither speak to confess the truth / ⟨image 14⟩nor to reprove that which is false: Now consider here what a liberty these men do lose: which christian liberty is in free boldness in speaking / to reprove that which is false / and to confess god / and his truth. This liberty of free speaking and confessing / no christen man ought so to give over / but that he in all his talk should and might use it.

Often tymes also that thing happenith / which we reade to haue happened in Pauls tyme / amon ge the Corinthians / that the brethern by this conuersaciō / ar brought to be partakers of the wickednesses / ¹vile custumes / and Idolatries of the vnfaithfull: Which familiar conuersacion / dothe not only couple them with the vnfaithfull / but it is a meane to make them Idolatrours: for th auoiding of which / Paule cryeth out in the same place: fle Idolatrie. I do likewise passeouer with silence /
