Joiada. It skilleth not what they say, which are nothing shamed to lye, as it shall manifestly ⟨image 52⟩appear hereafter. For sith that by this authority taken out of the. iii chapter of John, and applied to Christ alone, they ascribe unto them selves that, which belongeth to Christ only: who doeth not perceive and see, that they be enemies of the truth. We know, what slanderous words they do vomit out, and speak against us, calling us thieves, robbers, Antichrists, false prophets, and seductors. We do impute this to the weakness of the flesh, and forbear for Christs sake. We might clear our selves, if need were, & prove that they do belie us. But so they have need to prove, y• they be sent of god, by other things than by slanderous words and railings.
