He saith also / that admonition being given them in due time, and order, their blood shall be upon their own pates: and in other place / that if the the city be sufficiently admonished, leaving some behind him, the watchman hath doom his duty, and may go to another place. Wherein first (as his wont ¹is) he taketh that for granted / which is the question. For it is in question what is sufficient admonition / and what is to admonish in time / and order: whether as long as he continueth Pastor of that church / which we maintain: or until he shall esteem his church lightened with the knowledge off the truth / which the D. supposeth. Then the similitude of the watchman / confuteth his imaginary sufficiency. For as where the war is durable / there it is not enough for the watchman to have descried the enemies once / or twice / onles he do it as oft as they come against the city: even so it can be no discharge unto the spiritual watchman / to have given warning / onles he do it during the whole time off the spiritual war: which being continual / and without truce / requireth his continual watch. And this being alleged ²off me afterward / is altogether unanswered.

He saith also / that admonitiō being giuē them in due time, and order, their bloud shallbe vpon their owne pates: and in other place / that if the the city be sufficiently admonished, leauing some behinde him, the watchman hath doō his duty, and may goe to another place. Wherin first (as his wōt ¹is) he taketh that for graunted / vvhich is the question. For yt is in question vvhat is sufficient admonitiō / and what is to admonish in time / and order: whether as long as he continueth Pastor of that churche / vvhich vvee maintein: or vntill he shall esteem his church lightened vvith the knowledge off the truth / which the D. supposeth. Then the similitude of the vvatcheman / confuteth his imaginary sufficiency. For as where the vvar is durable / there yt ys not enough for the vvatcheman to haue discried the ennemies once / or twise / onles he doo yt as oft as they come against the city: euen so yt can be no discharge vnto the spirituall watcheman / to haue giuen vvarning / onles he doo yt during the whole time off the spirituall war: which being continuall / and withowt truce / requireth his continuall watch.
