The place unto the Gall. was needfully opposed. For if 1there be commandments off the Apostles unto the churches / and things which it is madness not to keep / or to enquire into / not written: there is something necessary to salvation / which S. Paul preached not: considering / that the whole sum off his preaching / is couched in writing.

The place off Augustine / off abrogating ceremonies otherwise indifferent / he answereth / was not for his purpose. Howbeit / ⟨p. XCI⟩of his purpose had been / to have bolted out the truth: it •• clear / that having this cause in hand whether ceremonies in them selves indifferent / ought to be removed: he would not have dissembled it. As for that he chargeth me / with leaving out off things before / in the middest / and after / and thereof hath almost filled a whole side: it is utterly unworthy any answer / considering that I have left nothing out / which is in controversy / nothing which I do not willingly confess / nothing that he hath any advantage by: yea I left that out / whereby I could have taken advantage. For beside that the ceremonies with us are in greater number / then August. alloweth / all men see / that they are more urged / and the omitting off them severelier punished / then the breach off the commandments off God: in which case he will have them abrogated. For he scapeth far better / which hath not preached a whole half year in his church / then which preaching every week twice / leaveth off his surplice once. And it is better with him / whose whole life / then whose cap is out off square: which is enemy off the cross off Christ / then which can not abide the cross in baptism: with those which leave out some ceremony / in burying the bodies off the dead / then with those which murder the souls off the living. All which things / the place of Augustine giving me occasion off. I notwithstanding for shortness sake / passed by.
