HE bids defiance to all Idolaters, and summons them to appear, that they might have the matter taken up,1 upon some reasonable conditions; as we have seen before in other places. But the issue will go wrong on their sides, because all their reasons will be easily overthrown. As if he should say; They now please themselves in their superstitions, but when their cause comes once to the trial, all pretexts shall by & by vanish like smoke; so as it will be no mastery to put them all to silence. Let them assemble then if they will by troops, let them consult, conspire, and do their utmost by threats, frauds, and terrors, yet must the truth needs prevail at length against them.
