An answer to a certain book, writtenAn answere to a certeine booke, written

After all this Master Rainolds maketh a long discourse of David George and Sebastian Castalion, ¹of whom or for whom I have for my part no need to answer. David George was a damnable heretic, and his heresies were by Protestants not Papists descried and refuted. Castalion you slander most shamelessly in saying he denied Christ to be the Messiah, as hereafter also in your book you have done. His preface which he writ to King Edward before his translation of the Bible, containeth no such argument, and leadeth wholly to another end, if you had either wit to see it, or good will to acknowledge it. Therein he disputeth that some part of those promises that are contained in the Prophets, and namely concerning the great knowledge that should be under Christ, is not yet accomplished: his opinion of which matters I leave to himself: but you have not done well to charge him untruly with so foul a blasphemy.²
