Till ye shall do this, I admonish, exhort, pray, and beseech by the most sacred & holy name of Christ, that ye would not call upon me, neither any other, neither the public it self: for by this preposterous course (as we may so say) ye do not disburden your selves, as ye think, of envy and blame (if there be any) but ye do with suspicion and prejudice burden your own cause, “which I verily do not prejudice at all, I speak it religiously before the Lord. Let them speak first, with whom ye sojourn, whom ye deny not to be your brethren. But if peradventure they shall not satisfy you, or ye shall not satisfy them, then let a new course be taken by lawful order▪ This no good man will deny, but till this be attempted, it will be unprofitable to you, and hurt full to the Church, to take another course. But neither I, nor my Colleagues, nor other wise men, will ever be so unwise as to prevent or take this thing out of the hands of them, to whom the knowledge thereof doth of right appertain. And so much of the doctrine.
