The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

And where he citeth Master Bullinger / that he is elected ¹by common suffrages off the People, which is chosen by the testimony off the best: I know good reader thou marvellest / not / that it cometh out off time / for that is his ordinary: but doest thou not marvel / what mystical rhetoric hath separated so far a sunder / this sentence from the other which he before alleged? Leave to marvel / there is no great art in it / but there ²is some craft. For if thou give heed unto him / it may appear it was only to cover the treachery which he used / in taking both that which goeth before / and that which cometh after: leaving quite out those words by me alleged / which stand in the midst off those two sentences / marring his whole market. And because it would have to palpably appeared / if he had done it in one / and the same place: he maketh them to come as it were strangers out off two several countries / that dwell hard together.

And where he cyteth Maister Bullinger / that he is elected ¹by common suffrages off the People, vvhiche is chosen by the testimonie off the beste: I knowe good reader thow merueileste / not / that it comethe owte off tyme / for that is his ordenarie: but doest thow not meruaile / what misticall rethoricke hathe seperated so farr a sonder / this sentence from the other whiche he before alledged? Leue to meruaile / there is no greate arte in it / but there ²is some crafte. For if thow gyue heed vnto him / yt may appeare yt was onely to couer the trechery whiche he vsed / in takinge bothe that whiche goethe before / ād that whiche cometh after: leuing quite owte those wordes by me alledged / whiche stande in the myiddest off those two sentences / marringe his whole marcket. And becawse yt woulde haue to palpably appeared / if he had doone yt in one / and the same place: he makethe thē to come as it were strangers owte off two seuerall countries / that dwell harde together.
