These two / Anacletus and Anicetus / you say / are suspected / why do you say suspected / when as they have been convinced and condemned / and stand upon the pillory / with the cause of forgery written in great letters / that he which runneth may read? Some of the papists them selves / have suspected them / but those which maintain the truth have condemned them as full of popery / full of blasphemy / and as those in whom was the very spirit of contradiction to the Apostles and their doctrine.
These two / Anacletus and Anicetus / you say / are suspected / why do you say suspected / when as they haue bene conuinced and condemned / and stande vppon the pillery / with the cause of forgerie written in great letters / that he which runneth may reade? Some of the papistes them selues / haue suspected them / but those which mayntayne the truth haue condemned them as full of popery / full of blasphemy / and as those in whome was the very spirit of contradiction to the Apostles and their doctryne.
And do you mark what you say / when you say that these are but suspected? ⟨p. 93⟩Thus much you say / that it is suspected / or in doubt / whether the whole body of popery and antichristianitie were in the Apostles time / or soon after or no / for Clement was in the Apostles time / and their scholar / and so you leave it in doubt, whether the apostles appointed and were the authors of popery or no. I think if ever you had red the Epistles / you would never have cited their authorities / nor have spoken so favourably of them as you do.
And do you marke what you say / when you say that these are but suspected? ⟨p. 93⟩Thus much you say / that it is suspected / or in doubt / whether the whole body of poperie and antichristianitie were in the Apostles time / or sone after or no / for Clement was in the Apostles time / and their scholer / and so you leaue it in dout, whether the apostles appoynted and were the authors of popery or no. I thinke if euer you had red the Epistles / you woulde neuer haue cited their authorities / nor haue spoken so fauourably of them as you doe.
