The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

And where he goeth about to find some difference in this / and that which I say off the laying on of hands by the Eldership / and hereof besides the painting off his margent / speaketh ones / twice / and the third time / according to his old manner of repetitions: He purposely as seemeth / passeth by my answer to that objection / that not the people, but certain that is to say the elders in the name off the people, did lay on their hands: as it is to be seen in other places / where the governors in the ¹name off all the people / lay on their hands upon the sacrifice for sin. Where you will me to speak in good earnest: If I had only to do with such a trifler / I would either answer nothing / or else as such a one is worthy: but because I have to do with the church off God / for judgement off the judicial / and Ceremonial law / and for proof off your untrue dealing: I refer my self to ²that I have said before.

And where he goeth abowte to finde some differēce in this / and that vvhich I saie off the layinge on of handes by the Eldershippe / and heroff besides the peintinge off his mergente / speaketh ones / twise / and the thirde tyme / accordinge to his olde manner of repeticiōs: He purposely as seemeth / passeth by my answer to that obiection / that not the people, but certeine that is to saie the elders in the name off the people, did laie on their handes: as it is to bee seene in other places / vvhere the gouernours in the ¹name off all the people / laie on their handes vpon the sacrifice for synne. Where yow will mee to speake in good earneste: If I had onely to doo vvith such a trifler / I woulde either answer nothinge / or els as such a one is worthie: but because I haue to doo with the church off God / for iudgement off the iudiciall / and Ceremoniall law / and for proofe off yowr vntrew dealing: I refer my selffe to ²that I haue saide before.
