The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

But this shall better appear / in discourse off this book ⟨image 3⟩where is showed not only that he hath the like / but the very self same cause with the grossest Papists. I say the grossest / for that in some points / as off the churches election and pastoral residence / there are found off them more favourable to the truth then he: which joining with Catholic writers both old / and of our time / have written against the estate off the Popish church in that behalf.

But this shall better appeare / in discours off this boke ⟨image 3⟩where ys shewed not onely that he hathe the like / but the verie self same cause with the grossest Papistes. I say the grossest / for that in some pointes / as off the churches election and pastorall residence / there are found off them more fauorable to the trwth then he: which ioining with Catholike writers both ould / and of our time / haue written against the estate off the Popish churche in that behalf.

And that no mans simplicity be abused by an outward profession off the gospel / as though it were unlike that they which professed it should be enemies to the true discipline: or uncredible that the same which cry out off the Tyranny off Antichrist / should refuse the moderate and wholesome government of Christ: it may please them to understand that this cause hath before this bidden the assault not off the Papists alone / but even off them which make show off so deadly war with papistry: that the greatest force of their resistance / hath been a fear ether pretended / or vainly fancied / least the giving place to the discipline should draw after it the popish Tyranny. ^aCapito a man off singular learning and godliness / affirmeth that it was objected unto them which went about to restore the discipline. that they would be Tyrants over the church which was free, and call back again a new popedom.
