There is a third & last sort of men, more ingenuous then the former, who when they see,1 that such colours (of excuses, formerly propounded) are not laid in oil, & therefore will not continue, nor can give them any encouragement in there course; such feeble pleas being like fig leaves, which cannot cover the nakedness of their cause, being neither true in themselves, nor honourable to their proceedings: They come to the main hold; and profess the things are lawful, & commendable, & therefore they do no more but what they may, nay what they ought. And whereas they have been of another mind, they diversely discover the causes of their change; as they are diversely affected, or have a greater stroke of conscience, & conviction of judgement.2
