In the end he saith / that these examples off our Saviour Christ, are not to be followed in all points. In what points to be followed? and in what to be avoided? this was necessary to have been showed. And have you forgotten / what you asked off me: how I knew certain things to be followed, and other not? and how either all must 1be followed, or none? and what revelation I had received to know what things in the election off Matthias pertained to ours, and what not? how pernicious a voice it is / / both to the church / and common wealth / that no man what crime soever he hath committed, is to be secluded from any lawful vocation if he repent: how licentious / how near approaching to Anabaptism / if I had said nothing at all / yet hath it plentiful confutation / both off reason / and off all good policed churches / or common wealths that ever were. I have showed general commandments to the contrary: therefore unless you can show them repealed / by a contrary act: they are still in force. For the examples off S. Peter and S. Paul / here tediously repeated: I have answered before at large.

I haue shewed generall commaundementes to the contrarie: therfore vnles yow can shewe them repealed / by a contrarie acte: they are still in force. For the examples off S. Peter and S.
