If some of those which favour this cause / have ben overcarried in part / to do things which might have ben more conveniently ordered / it is against reason that you should therefore charge those / which favour this cause that you oppugn. You would think you had wrong / if because some of those that favour that which you favour in this matter / be either free will men / or hold consubstantiation in the Sacrament / you should be challenged as free will men / or maintainers of consubstantiation. If those meetings / which they had / were permitted unto them / by them / that have authority / I see nothing / why they may not seek to serve God in purity / and less mixture of hurtful ceremonies: If they were not permitted / yet your name of conventicles / which agreed to the Anabaptists / is too light and contemptuous / to set forth those assemblies / wherein I think you will not deny / but that the word of God and his sacraments were ministered / & take you heed / that these so reproachful speeches / which you throw out against men / reach not unto God: A softer word would have better become you.
If some of those whych fauor this cause / haue ben ouercaryed in part / to do things which might haue ben more cōueniently ordered / it is against reason that you should therfore charge those / which fauor thys cause that you oppugne. You would thinke you had wrong / if because some of those that fauor that which you fauor in this matter / be either free wil men / or hold consubstantiation in the Sacrament / you shuld be chalenged as free will men / or maintainers of consubstantiation. If those metings / whych they had / were permitted vnto them / by them / that haue authoritie / I see nothing / why they may not seeke to serue God in puritie / and les mixture of hurtfull ceremonies: If they were not permitted / yet your name of conuenticles / whych agreed to the Anabaptists / is too lighte and contemptuous / to set forth those assemblies / wherin I thinke you wil not deny / but that the word of God and his sacraments were ministred / & take you heede / that these so reprochfull speaches / which you throw out against men / reache not vnto God: A softer word would haue better becommed you.
