1he speaketh not to excuse any folly in him self, who had always most wisely and gravely behaved himself towards the Corinthians, but to reprove rather the singular arrogance and folly of the false Apostles, ⟨p. 395⟩who being in no respect comparable to the Apostle, yet bragged immoderately and preferred themselves before him. This is another case, Master Rainolds, unlike to that whereof we spake.
1he speaketh not to excuse anie follie in him selfe, who had alwaies moste wiselie and grauelie behaued himselfe towards the Corinthians, but to reprooue rather the singular arrogancie and follie of the false Apostles, ⟨p. 395⟩whoe being in no respecte comparable to the Apostle, yet bragged immoderatlie and preferred themselues before him. This is another case, Master Rainolds, vnlike to that whereof we spake.
Men of good will, 12to whom the Angel wisheth well, are by our new divines of Rhemes expounded for men endued with free will. And thus saith Master Rainolds was it taught in the old gospel. But what gospel he meaneth, it were a good thing to understand. For S. Lukes gospel teacheth no such thing, which yet sure I am is the old and true gospel of Christ. E' [Greek or Hebrew], which word S. Luke in that place hath used, never signifieth free will, but favour and good will, which one beareth towards another: S. Augustine was by ignorance of the Greek tongue deceived: and any man may soon perceive that the Angel speaketh of Gods love towards mankind, which then most notably appeared, when the Son of God was borne of a woman. For our papists to gather hereof mans free will, is too childish and absurd abuse of holy scripture.
