IT fareth with M. D. as with malefactors: which having left something behind them whereby they may be known / for fear off that which followeth / renounce it utterly to be theirs. But that the conclusion off all thes articles is as I have set down / that is to say / that the authors off the admonition are either Anabaptists / or in the way to Anabaptism (albeit he here deny it:) I report me to the conscience off all those that shall read him. And let his words be considered / which be that Anabaptism is almost plainly professed ⟨p. XXXIII⟩in the admonition, and so be judged whether I have truly gathered his meaning yea or no. I have spoken so plainly in that the Answerer maketh so strange / and whereof he requireth more open speech / that I can not speak plainlier. I use the words which are worn in all schools and writers which have occasion to speak off these matters: I gave that which I said light by examples. Notwithstanding he can not see / how the Ministry off England may be commonly and for the most part unlawful / and not right / and yet some found which either may have there calling according to the word off god / diverse from that which is commonly used: or else (the lawful calling by the church ceasing) have it by an immediate calling from God. If M. D. will 1be so ignorant / as not to know how these two may stand together: let him be ignorant: if he delight in his blindness / what should he do with a guide.

But that the conclusion off all thes articles is as I haue set downe / that is to saye / that the authors off the admonition are either Anabaptistes / or in the waye to Anabaptisme (albeit he here denie yt:) I reporte me to the conscience off all those that shall reade him. And let his vvordes be considered / vvhich be that Anabaptiisme is almost plainely professed
