Where you say / I have not answered: in deed if your one man be wise / and godly / and the hundred fools / and wicked: I have said nothing / nor mean not now to do / being worthier to be hissed out / then to be answered. You say / that the 16. Acts▪ showeth how well Timothy 1was thought off: a noble interpretation. This is always your fashion / either to corrupt the places of the scripture: or else to tell that which no man doubteth of. But for what cause doth S. Luke tell / that he was so well thought of? doth he not show in the next ver. to be the same which I have alleged? And therefore Master Beza regarding the meaning of S. Luke / addeth the word (therefore) declaring for what cause that testimonial was given. This is your reason / S. Luke showeth how well Timothy was thought off: therefore it is untrue that S. Paul to cut of all ⟨p. CLV⟩occasion off evil speech, received him not, but upon commendation off the brethren both in Listra, and Iconium. I do not say that S.
