The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

And if there were a difference between that and this: then in this great desire off his to strike he care not how / nor after What sort / his struck is fallen upon him self / and upon those whom he undertaketh to defend.

And iff there were a difference betwene that and this: then in this great desire off his to stricke he care not how / nor after What sorte / his strooke is fallen vppon him selffe / and vpon those whom he vndertaketh to defend.

That the words off the admonition have not that sense which is here ascribed unto it / I have showed in the proper place: neither will I touch it here / although the A. set it twenty times before me. If he have any thing to say against that which I have said / there it shall be considered. Although here the D. was taken even in the very act of false coining: yet he shameth not to deny it / and with that boldness and forehead / that he is ready also to accuse him that taketh him with the manner. He biddeth me peruse more diligently the words off M. Bullingar. I have perused them / and set them down / first in latin and then in English: and if I have not turned them truly / show wherein I have faulted: and if they be truly turned / then I demand again / where these words be found in any of those leaves of Bullinger which you quote / That they could not teach truly because they had great livings? You say they be word for word there, show but the same sense or meaning / that is to say that this off M. Bullingers that the Anabaptists said they could not teach the truth which had any living, is all one with that which you have set down / that they can not teach the truth which have great livings. And if you can not show it: your falsification remaineth increased with the open facing of an untruth. In deed if you can put out all men eyes / and take away from us our senses / and all light off grammar / and off the knowledge off signification and propriety off words: it will not be impossible for you with such confident speeches as you use / to make us believe that all is turned upside down / and that the earth hangeth over our heads / and the heavens are underneath our feet. but you deceive your self / if you think that you can bear down the truth so / or that you can hide falsehood by adding another unto it / whereby it is made bigger and more easy to be seen then before.
