:214p. 84–85§13

T. IN deed it is the most sure, but in the mean time it is a hard matter, to find any kind of Religion, wherein a man may so well continue in waiting for the general Council, as that which men call at this day the Interim D. Thou hast now put us into a very large field. I would gladly that these forgers of Interim, should declare unto me the very cause why, they do call this new form of Religion, which they have forged, by the name of Interim T. Thou doest well understand y• Interim, signifieth in the Latin tongue, in the mean time, or whilst. D. I do know that very well: yet notwithstanding I would gladly know what they mean by this word, in the mean time, or whilst. T. They mean as I think, y• that manner of life hath ben set forth only to that end, that men should live according to the same, in matter of Religion: whilst they away• for a Council, in the which more ample and more certain determination in matter of Religion, or else an other reformation, more perfect shall be had. D. Is not that a very wise Counsel? I would desire no more, but the title of this worthy manner of reformation, to declare the great vanity of the authors of the same. For either it is builded upon the word of God: or else it is against it. If it be agreeable to Gods word, there needeth not, either whilst, or until, for it shall be always good and holy, If it be against it, and if it endure but one hour, it shall continue over long, for so much as what so ever thing it be, that is against God, the same ought to have no place, neither for short, nor long time.
