Now I will desire the reader to turn unto the. 237. 238. 239. 240. 242. pages / to see whether at this third voyage M. doctor bringeth any better merchandise. Where first he surmiseth an untruth / as though the admonition misliked of the taking away of the grey Amiss / where it sayeth only that there was less cause to take that away / then the surplice. &c. Wherein there is nothing but the truth said / for because that was used but in few churches / and but of few also in those few churches: therefore if there were cause to take away that / there was greater to take away the surplice. And to take away the Amiss out of the church / and leave the surplice. &c. is to heal a scratch / and leave a wound unhealed.

Wherin there is nothing but the truthe sayde / for because that was vsed but in few churches / and but of few also in those few churches: therfore if there were cause to take away that / there was greater to take away the surplice.

Now whereas you say / that we are always (Ad oppositum) and that if the law commanded straightly / that we should wear none of this apparel / that then we would wear: if it should be answered again that you do Seruire scenae: that is / that you are a time server / you see we might speak with more likelihood then you. But we will not take (as you do) the judgement of God out of his hands / but will attend patiently the revelation and discovering of that / which is now hid both in you and in us.

Nowe whereas you say / that we are alwayes (Ad oppositum) and that if the lawe commaunded straightly / that we shoulde weare none of thys apparell / that then we would weare: if it should be answered againe that you doe Seruire scenae: that is / that you are a time seruer / you see we mighte speake wyth more likelyhoode then you. But we will not take (as you doe) the iudgement of God out of his handes / but will attende paciently the reuelation and discouering of that / whych is nowe hid bothe in you and in vs.
