So far forth as we may (for the infirmities wherewith we are enclosed) we endeavour to adorn the doctrine of the gospel / which we proofs / we seek not the admiration of men / if God do give / that we have honest report / we think we ought to maintain that / to the glory of God and advancement of the gospel. what is our straightness of life any other / then is required in all christians? we bring in (I am sure) no Monachism or Anchorisme / we eat and drink as other men / we live as other men / we are apparelled as other men / we lye as other men / we use those honest recreations that other men do / and we think ⟨p. 18⟩there is no good thing / or commodity of life in the world / but that in sobriety we may be partakers of / so far as our degree and calling will suffer us / & as God maketh us able to have it. For the hypocrisy that you so often charge us with / the day shall try it. If any man join which us / with mind to contend / it is against our will / notwithstanding we know none / and what great stirrers and contenders they be which favour this cause / let all men judge.
