Otherwise you may easily gather that we shall be more confirmed in this faith. And seeing you (Learned Sr.) do purposely write concerning the Doctrine which we profess / and yet show not any one error in the Doctrine: consider well what you have done. Will you be ready to help them who err (as you think) in the manner and circumstances? and will you afford no help at all in the matter and faith it self? Far be this from you from your godliness learning / wisdom / charity. And thus much of the first point which you noted concerning doctrine.

Here also we expected / that you would have discussed those four points / which are particularly rehearsed in the preface of this book / and which we showed to be done and used by / them daily in their divine worship: for which also we testified that we are banished and have departed from them. But of these neither / have you not one word And yet this was the special fact / which we noted for to be considered in that Church. That other of the Prelates tyranny and persecution of us / we touched but by the way and in a few words. We marvel therefore / yea and greatly marvel that these things which directly concern the matter and cause it self / should thus every where be let pass by you / who yet pretend to bring into the way such as do err. But less us see nevertheless what the things are which you do here so much urge.
