And although you will grant us neither learning nor conscience / yet you ⟨p. 78⟩might afford us so much wit / as that we would not willingly / and of purpose want those commodities of life / which we might otherwise enjoy as well as you if we had that gift of conformity which you have.

And although you will graunt vs neither learning nor conscience / yet you ⟨p. 78⟩might aforde vs so muche witte / as that we would not willingly / and of purpose want those commodities of life / whych we might otherwise enioy as wel as you if we had that gift of conformitie whych you haue.

Whereas you say that the accursed things of Jericho / and the ox that was fed to be sanctified unto Baal / and the wood consecrated unto the Idol / were converted to the service of the living God / when you shall prove that the surplice is so necessary to the service of God / as gold / and silver / and other metal / and as oxen and wood / whereof the first sort were such / as without the which / the temple could not be built / the other / such as were expressly commanded of God / to be used in his service / then I will confess that this place maketh some thing for you. And yet if your copes / and surplices. &c. should have such a purgation by fire / as those metals had / or ever the Lord would admit them into his treasure house / and should be driven to pass from popery unto the gospel / by the chimney / the fire would make such wrack with them / that they should need have better legs / then your arguments / to bring them into the church.

Wheras you say that the accursed things of Iericho / and the oxe that was fed to be sanctified vnto Baall / and the woode consecrated vnto the Idoll / were conuerted to the seruice of the liuing God / when you shall proue that the surplice is so necessary to the seruice of God / as gold / and siluer / and other mettal / and as oxen and woode / wherof the first sort were such / as without the which / the temple could not be builte / the other / suche as were expresly commaunded of God / to be vsed in hys seruice / then I will confesse that this place maketh some thing for you. And yet if your copes / and surplices. &c. shoulde haue suche a purgation by fire / as those metalles had / or euer the Lord would admit them into his treasure house / and shuld be driuen to passe from popery vnto the gospel / by the chimney / the fire would make such wracke wyth them / that they should neede haue better legs / then your arguments / to bring them into the church.
