Their words are to be seen / my reply / and your answer: let the world judge what forehead there is in him / which saith / they 1condemn all as evil, and as unlearned: lest I spend moe words in proving / that it is light at noon days. There is more likelihood / that for want of just trial / they might be thought to deny a lawful calling / to those which are admitted by the common order. But it followeth not thereof / that they say / there are none lawfully admitted / for the cause before alleged. And it is unreasonable / you 2should charge them with that which I write / or with that the second admonition writeth. Touching the number off sufficient ministers in France / I wrote that which I received: whether it be true or no / it may easily be known of those / which vvill enquire off it.
