Peter Martyr (saith he) at his first coming to Oxford when he was but a Lutherian in this matter, taught as D. Smith now doth. But when he came once to the Court, & saw that doctrine misliked them, that might do him hurt in his living, he anon after turned his tippet, and sang an other song.

Of M. Peter Martyr his opinion and judgement in this matter no man can better testify than I. For as much as he lodged within my house long before he came to Oxford, and I had with him many conferences in that matter, and know that he was then of the same mind that he is now, and as he defended after openly in Oxford, and hath written in his book. And if D. Smith understood him otherwise in his Lectures at the beginning, it was for lack of knowledge, for that then D. Smith understood not the matter, nor yet doth not, as it appeareth by this foolish and unlearned book which he hath now set out.
