Whereas there was a little book exhibited unto you by one of us / it is not so to be taken / as if you were called upon alone or apart from others. For the brother which delivered you the book certified us / that this passed between you / that by you it should be communicated with your Colleagues the governors of that University / and that you took upon you to do it. Now if you have so done / how is it that you alone write back again? why also do you so often repeat and seem to reprehend that you / you (we say) alone / apart / are called upon? If you have not done it / mind then on whom the blame lieth that it is not communicated with them in that University / to whom by us it was dedicated. And we do now again entreat you / that being mindful of your promise you would perform it: that so you with the other learned and godly men and brethren there / may either convince our faith and cause of error / or else together with us contend for this saith once given to the Saints. The one of these we take it must needs be done. And we gather it by comparing together Jam. 5.19.12. with Jude ver. 3. This also is the very thing which we did desire and still do desire in that Epistle dedicatory. And let these things once spoken / suffice (we pray you) for the crimination of calling on you apart, which in this letter of yours you have so often objected and repeated.

For the brother which delyvered you the booke certified vs / that this passed betwene you / that by you it should be communicated with your Colleagues the governours of that Vniversity / and that you tooke vpon you to do it. Now if you have so done / how is it that you alone wryte back againe? why also do you so often repeat and seeme to reprehend that you / you (we say) alone / apart / are called vpon? If you have not done it / mynde then on whome the blame lyeth that it is not communicated with thē in that Vniversity / to whome by vs it was dedicated. And we do now agayne entreat you / that being myndfull of your promyse you would performe it: that so you with the other learned and godly men and brethren there / may eyther convynce our fayth and cause of errour / or els together with vs conted for this sayth once gyven to the Saints. The one of these we take it must needes be donne. And we gather it by comparing together
