Hillarius. Nou must understand, ye in disiting him in such fort, they brought yt fire so near, ye it kindled & burned all. 1Now when they had found the next day the goodly stir ye they had made, god knoweth what piteous, lamentations, weepings & cryings there was. Tamus, Osiris & Adonis were never so bewailed & lamented. They did sing other lamentations, then those of Jeremiah, saying: O how wicked are we, all the world will reproach & check us, that we are worse then the Jews. ⟨image 167⟩For he was crucified among them, but he hath been burned amongest us. We must not be abashed, though they burn the Lutherians, sith that they burn their God. Yet nevertheless that ought not so se•me unto them strange. For they have used it of long time, and have set and put a Canon among the Cautels of their Mass, which commandeth, that when the host shall be rotten or mouldy in the pyx, or that the worms, Spiders and Mice have touched and eaten it, that it should be burned, and that the ashes should be •ut in y• reliquary or holy place. The which thing was once objected and propounded unto a Priest, amongst a great company of people, in a house at Geneva. But he was not afraid to absolve the question, nor he was not so much offended in burning their God, as those here. For he answered directly, if he suffered himself to be crucified of the Jews, cannot he suffer himself to be burned of us?
Hillarius. Nou must understand, ye in disiting himm in such fort, they brought yt fire so neere, ye it kindled & burned all. 1Now whé they had found ye nert day the goodly stur ye they had made, god knoweth what pitious, lamctatiōs, wepings & cryings ther was. Tamus, Ositis & Adonis wer neuer so bewayled & lameted. They did sing other lamétatiōs, then those of Ieremy, saying: O how wicked are we, al ye world wil redeoche & check us, that we are worse then ye Iewes. ⟨image 167⟩For he was crucified among them, but he hath bene burned amongest vs. We must not bee abashed, though they burne the Lutherians, sith that they burne their God. Yet neuerthelesse that ought not so se•me vnto them strange. For they haue vsed it of long time, and haue set and put a Canon among the Cautels of their Masse, which commaundeth, that when the hoast shalbe rotten or mouldie in the pyr, or that the wormes, Spiders and Myce haue touched and eaten it, that it should be burned, and that the asshes should be •ut in y• reliquare or holy place. The which thing was once obiected and propounded vnto a Priest, amongst a great company of people, in a house at Geneua. But he was not asraid to absolue the question, nor he was not so much offended in burning their God, as those here. For he aunswered directly, if he suffred himself to be crucified of the Iewes, cannot he suffer himselfe to be burned of vs?
