Who goeth about to excuse S. Peters denial? doth he that saith it is a great and a heinous crime, excuse it: I said / I thought ⟨p. CLXXVIII⟩1I should trouble you, if I put you to prove his fault to be as great as his that slideth from the gospel, to Idolatry, and therein abide the some years: And I perceive I have troubled you / for you can not answer unto that poor reason / which I in passing interlaced. To help to maintain your untruth / you have here set S. Peters fault of the last / saying / he did it wittingly, and willingly. For it being done off infirmity / and to save his life / although it is was not done without his will: yet I report me to the use off our speech / whether this witting, and willing doing be not spoken of those only / which do it without any manner off compulsion / or drift off fear.
