T. The world is not in these days, as then it was. For we have now nothing a do, neither with the Jews, §11nor Pagans, nor yet with the Turks. And seeing that we have to do but Christians with Christians, the hope is the greater. D. I know not. But at the least I desire it for my part, but I fear least the pure truth of God, will worse be endured of those, which glory of the name of a Christian, then of the Jews and Turks. For all those that bear the name of Christians, are not for all that Christians, for for so much as it is an other matter, to be a Christian in name only, and to be one in deed, and name together. This fareth much like the testimonies which we have already brought forth of ancient customs, touching the ancient Samaritans, of whom it is written that they feared the ¹Lord, and yet notwithstanding, they served continually their Idols: and afterward in this same passage he saith, that they did not fear the Lord. T. I was in mind to desire thee to agree these two passages, when thou diddest allege them, but that I was loth to break of your tale. D. It is an easy matter to agree them, for the one expoundeth and declareth the other. It is said that they feared God, for so much as they made a certain profession of the law: but for so much as they did it not in deed, but mingled their ancient superstitions and Idolatries with it, it is said that they feared not the Lord, as it is declared following. But let us come to the Samaritans of our time, for truly we do not see at all, more cruel persecutors of the Gospel, then are those which are Popish Christians. But to what end thinkest thou, that the Council of Trent is continued, and that they have newly confirmed, and approved all those determinations, and resolutions that have passed? In the same?
