To the learned and our beloved Brother in Christ Mr. Francis Iunius at Leyden in Holland.
Grace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Reverend Sr. your letters were delivered us: which when we had read / we thought thus with our selves: If we write again / it will be thought perhaps contentious if we hold our peace it may prove hurtful to the truth. What is then to be done? We must abstain from contending / yet so as the truth be not forsaken for which the Apostle exhorteth even to •omesty. Thus then (worthy Sr.) receive our answer briefly.1 In that you did nothing in this matter, without the knowledge of your brethren and Colleagues, we therefore give you thanks: for now you have had consultation together / yet show you nor any one error in our faith and cause. Touching that we rested not in your counsel, we had many and weighty reasons so to move us which we signified to you in our former letters / but you have her• in silence passed by them. Until you take them away / we think it cannot be showed that in this matter we have done any thing otherwise then in good manner• and order meet and needful. Public infamy requireth public apology.
GRace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Iesus Christ.
