What dealing is this / to bring men into suspicion of that / which they never thought of / as though there were any word that sounded to this / that a man should put him self into the office of preaching / without the approbation of those men to whom it doth pertain.
What dealing is this / to bring men into suspition of that / which they neuer thought of / as though there were any woorde that sounded to this / that a man should put him selfe into the office of preaching / without the approbation of those men to whome it doth pertayne.
Their complaint is / that those which are ordained pastors / and therefore to preach / can not do it without further licence. As if a man should be charged to do a thing forthwith / and then he that chargeth him / bindeth him hand and foot / that he can not do it / unless he will lose him.

The Bishops enable him to teach / and point him a place to teach in / and yet they will not let him teach / unless he have a further licence. If he be an heretic or schismatic / or suspected of any such thing / why is he admitted / or being admitted / why is he suffered to be so much as a reader in the church? And because you could not answer this / therefore you set up a fancy of yours to confute. And thus you fight without an adversary / and you make triumphs / where there is no victory.
The Byshoppes inhable hym to teache / and poynte hym a place to teache in / and yet they will not let hym teache / vnlesse he haue a further licence. If hee be an hereticke or schismatike / or suspected of any suche thing / why is he admitted / or being admitted / why is he suffered to be so much as a reader in the church? And because you could not answere thys / therefore you set vp a fansie of youres to confute. And thus you fyght without an aduersary / and you make triumphes / where there is no victory.
