Others have set forth confessions. I know it, and I commend it: for either they seemed and were said to stagger in the hands of their persecutors, or else “moved of conscience they did it orderly with the consent and approbation of the Church: but he who writeth with a mind to dissent, writeth against order, and sifteth the soars of the Church against the law of charity. But you profess, that if there be any dissension, you do not dissemble it▪ Surely in your confession I see no token whereby I may be certainly persuaded of it.

Therefore I did well who being altogether ignorant of your matters, did yet so write that I prevented a thing by you dissembled, (or at least obscurely set down) by whole some counsel.
