The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

But pardon me / I think I see your difference / which is / that the Jews must do it according to the law off Moses / and the Christians according to the law off whom? why kept you back that? Surely if the Christians be bound to do it (as your interpretation saith) they are bound to do it by the law off Moses: for I know no other law off precepts / but that.

But pardon me / I thinke I see yowr difference / which is / that the Iewes muste doo yt accordinge to the lawe off Moses / and the Christians accordinge to the lawe off whome? why kepte yow backe that? Surely iff the Christians be bounde to doo yt (as yowr interpretation saythe) they are bounde to doo yt by the lawe off Moses: for I knowe no other lawe off preceptes / but that.

There is yet another difference / whiche yowr wordes maye gyue suspicion off: that is / that the Christian parentes shoulde rather put them to deathe / then be withdrawne by them: so that the Iewes haue a symple commaundemente to put them to deathe / but the Christians haue yt vnder condition / yf they can not otherwise kepe still the trewe worshippe off God. But where / and in what shopp is this difference coyned? Whose Image / and superscription beare the yt? the Doctors. What Paules? no Whitgyftes. I knowe him not / yt is not good.
