But in the eyes of some men, this 1our discourse may seem vain and fruitless: unless we do also refute their objections, whereby they endeavour to prove, that pleadings and law matters are at an end, because the Lord in the Gospel saith: To him that will sue thee at the law and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And again, While thou art yet with thine adversary upon the way, agree with him quickly, least he deliver thee to the tormentor. They add moreover the strifes in the law, which S. Paul the Apostle in the s••te Chapter of his Epistle to the Corinthians, doth flatly condemn.
