2. Zanchie when he writ unto B. Jewel, gave no reason of this counsel for yielding, but left them to be invented by B. Jewel. Now because those reasons of yielding were never yet made known, whereby the former reasons directed by Zanchie against urging can possibly be overborne, I cannot otherwise think, but this later counsel was more out of charity guided by humane erring prudence, then out of judgement grounded on Scripture. Howsoever our question is, not only of yielding in case of extreme necessity, but also of appointing and urging men to that extreme necessity.
2. Zanchie when he writ unto B. Iewel, gave no reason of this counsel for yeelding, but left them to be invented by B. Iewel. Now because those reasons of yeelding were never yet made knowen, wherby the former reasons directed by Zanchie against urging can possibly be overborne, I cannot otherwise thinke, but this later counsel was more out of charitie guided by humane erring prudence, then out of judgement grounded on Scripture. Howsoever our question is, not onely of yeelding in case of extreame necessitie, but also of appointing and urging men to that extreame necessitie.
3. Zanchie doeth not persuade to allow of these Ceremonies by subscription, or silence, but only in extreme necessity, to yield unto them, and that with Protestation. 1Now this was according to a kind of charitable Policy, which Luther is author of about all Popish Ceremonies: de Libertate Christiana, in these words: Although we must manfully resist those Masters of traditions, and the laws of the Popes wherewith they overrun ⟨p. 98⟩the people of God are tartly to be dispraised, 2yet the timorous multitude (whom those wicked Tyrants lead captive with the same laws) must stoop till they be plainly laid open. You may inveigh against the laws and law makers, but withal you may observe them with the weak, until both they do know the Tyranny and come to understand their liberty.
