and you that now boast of your knowledge, shall then be ashamed of your ignorance. To know Christ out of his word, is true knowledge, sound learning, and perfect wisdom.

Certain examples you rehearse of our ignorant ⟨p. 6⟩assertions, only thereby to make our cause seem odious to the simple: but the reasons of our assertions you pretermit, which is your common sleight, continually to tell your readers that such and such opinions we hold, and not to show the manner, nor to remember or answer our reasons. Wherein I desire the reader to consider how untruly Master Rainolds hath charged me with a wicked heresy, that in this man he may behold the conscience of a Papist. He setteth down for one of my sayings, that Christ is not begotten of the substance of his father: a slander most manifest, in a matter of greatest moment. I have not written thus, no, I never thought thus. I abhor with my hart all such blasphemy against the Person of our saviour Christ. But in the mean time what hath this slanderer deserved? Let the reader equally judge between him and me, and by trial hereof esteem more indifferently of the rest of his malice.
