None of the places which they alleged / declare any such meaning: and the place quoted out off Eze. manifestly declareth / that they meant of those which had fallen from the truth. Besides 1that all men may see / that you brought thes examples of M. ⟨p. CLXXXIIII⟩Luth. &c. to prove that ministers which had fallen into Idolatry / might be restored unto the ministry. And where they speak off king Henrys priests / king Edwards / &c. It is apparent / that they meant not to seclude them / for that they were king Henrys priests: but because they were king Henrys / and Queen Mary's priests both / seeing they also shut forth / king Edwards priests / which by no means they can be suspected to have done / unless they had meant off those / which being ministers then / were priests also in Queen Mary's times. If They had said thus simply / all indifferent judgement must needs so have expounded them: but when they expound them selves so plainly / in these words / men for all seasons: I might well say / as I have said / what hath so blinded your eyes, &c.
None of the places vvhiche they alledged / declare anysuche meaninge: and the place quoted owte off Eze. manifestly declareth / that they mēte of those vvhiche had fallen from the trewthe. Besides 1that al men maie see / that yow browght thes exāples of M. ⟨p. CLXXXIIII⟩Luth. &c. to proue that ministers vvhich had fallen into Idolatrie / might be restored vnto the ministerie. And where they speake off kinge Henries preistes / kinge Edwardes / &c. Yt is apparente / that they mente not to seclude them / for that they were kinge Henries preistes: but because they were kinge Henries / and Queene Maries preistes bothe / seing they also shutte forthe / kinge Edwardes preistes / which by no means they can be suspected to haue doone / vnles they had mente off those / which beinge ministers then / were preistes also in Queene Maries tymes. Yf They had saide thus simplie / all indifferent iudgemente muste needes so haue expounded them: but vvhen they expounde them selues so plainly / in these wordes / men for all seasons: I mighte well saie / as I haue saide / vvhat hathe so blyn̄ded your eyes, &c.
