The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

There is yet another difference / which your words may give suspicion off: that is / that the Christian parents should rather put them to death / then be withdrawn by them: so that the Jews have a simple commandment to put them to death / but the Christians have it under condition / if they can not otherwise keep still the true worship off God. But where / and in what shop is this difference coined? Whose Image / and superscription bear the it? the Doctors. What Pauls? no Whitgyftes. I know him not / it is not good. For how shall they be sure they shall not be withdrawn by him: onles they procure him to ⟨p. CXIIII⟩be put to death? And although they were out off peril off being withdrawn: how are other provided for / whom he may corrupt? And if it were possible that poison which he hath / could not hurt any other: where is the revenge off Gods glory / which hath been dishonoured by such false teaching / and in the maintenance whereof / the zeal off the children off God / aswell under the gospel as under the law / doth consist? Thes differences between his interpretations he giveth inkling off / but the folly off them was so apparent / that he durst not lay them open.

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. For howe shall they be sure they shall not be withdrawne by him: onles they procure hym to ⟨p. CXIIII⟩be put to deathe? And althowghe they were owte off perill off beinge withdrawen: how are other prouided for / whome he maye corrupte? And yff it were possible that poison which he hathe / coulde not hurte any other: where is the reuenge off Godds glorye / whiche hathe bene dishonored by suche false teachinge / and in the maintenance vvheroff / the zeale off the children off God / aswell vnder the gospell as vnder the lawe / dothe consiste? Thes differences betwene his interpretacions he giueth incklinge off / but the folye off them was so apparante / that he durste not laye them open.
