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?
