The Admonition hath no such thing / as M. Doctor chargeth the authors thereof with / that they did ever allow of the book of service. It sayeth they bare with it / and used it so far / as they might / and therefore now when it came to the approving of it by subscription / they refused / & there is no man which can not understand / that it is one thing to bear with a thing / and an other to approve it / and therefore to bear / and to use it so far as might be / may well agree with their refusal of subscription / so that M. Doctors note is not worth the noting. The Apostles did bear with the infirmity of the Jews addicted to the observation of the ceremonial law / yet they never allowed that infirmity / and they were so far from approving it by subscribing / that they wrote against it. Those (saith M. D. which authorized this book / were studious of peace / and of building of Christs church / therefore they that speak against it (which he ⟨p. 196⟩calleth defacing) are disturbers of the peace / and destroyers of the church. So I will reason: Gideon was studious of peace / and of building of the church / therefore they which spake against the Ephod which he made / were disturbers of the peace / and destroyers of the church. We speak against images in churches / and consubstantiation in the sacraments / and such like / which Luther being studious of peace / and of the building of the church did hold / and yet we are not therefore disturbers of peace / or destroyers of the church. Although they were excellent personages / yet their knowledge was in part / & although they brought many things to our light / yet they being sent out in the morning / or ever the sun of the gospel was risen so high / might oversee many things which those that are not so sharp of fight / as they were / may see / for because that which they want in the sharpness of sight / they have by the benefit and clearness of the sun and of the light. They sealed not the book of service with their blood (as M. Doctor sayeth) for some that suffered for the truth / declared openly their misliking of certain things in it / and as for the other they could never dye for that book / more then for the liturgy used in the French church / or at Geneva.
