For the four first sections / being either false accusations / bare repetitions off my words / or proofs off things which I have set down and confess: I will not answer. His fifth section answereth not any thing / to divers reasons which I have set down / to prove that this cause can not be charged with disorder / whose whole work is / that nothing be done out off place / out off time / besides the bounds off every one His several calling. in the 6. section 4. pag. he falling to railing / doth gwilfully pass by the reason which I have alleged / why this doctrine which we maintain / can not be thought enemy unto princes / seeing it was a friend to princes / when princes where enemies unto it. For him self can not deny but the government by elders / the choice off the ministers by the church / the most off those things which he especially supposeth to have war with the civil magistrate / and are in controversy between us / were in the times off the Apostles / when they being trodden under feet off the civil Magistrate / did never lift up their heel against his power.
FOr the foure fyrst sectyons / being either false accusations / bare repetitions off my wordes / or profes off thinges which I haue set downe and confesse: I will not answer. His fifte section answerethe not any thinge / to diuers reasons which I haue set downe / to proue that this cause can not be charged with disorder / whose whole worke is / that nothing be donne owte off place / owte off tyme / besides the boundes off euerie one His seuerall callinge. in the 6. sectyon 4. pag. he falling to railing / doothe gwilfully passe by the reason which I haue alledged / why this doctine which we mainteine / can not be thowght enemy vnto princes / seing yt was a freende to princes / when princes where enemies vnto it. For him selfe can not denie but the gouernement by elders / the choise off the ministers by the churche / the moste off those thinges which he especially supposeth to haue warre with the ciuile magistrate / and are in controuersie betweene vs / were in the tymes off the Apostells / when they being troden vnder feete off the ciuile Magistrate / did neuer lifte vpp their heele againste his power.
