Others that have set forth their Confessions, are by you acknowledged and commended We belike only have offended in so doing: a•d that which every Church man lawfully do (and almost every man upon just cause) yet to us and our Church you will not permit it. So indifferent are nou towards us. Neither when they set forth their Confessions did the whole. Catholic Church consent: and if you speak of ••e consent and approbation of a particular Church / so also was our Confession published But they wrote dissenting from the Church of Rome and the like / being moved of conscience. And the very same thing have we likewise done / dissenting from a daughter of the Romish Church / touching her Liturgy / hierarchy / constitution to wit the Church of England. Yet they thus writing neither wrote against order, nor sifted the soars of the Church against the law of charity. No•no• we neither And touching: he dissension not conceal, what need we write otherwise then as before we have done? It is with the Church of England / that we had and still have to deal in this behalf: and that difference we did by name and under certain h•ad•• particularly relate: as both the thing it self and our exile did necessarily require. Now although in some things we▪ differ from the ministers of these Churches / yet were they not before they despise admonition to be dealt with 1in like sort. Else you might indeed some what rightly urge order and the law of c••rity, if their names and peculiar description of that difference had ben by us particularly specified in that book. Nevertheless whosoever know and consider the practise of these churches (and of such only we speak) they may by that practise and our Confession compared together perceive there is difference between them and us Yea we know that some have so observed. Otherwise if it be as you pretend that in our Confession you see not a•y token whereby you may▪ •e• certainly persuaded there of how is it tat in so great agreement they should by so many be judged as true Churches in the right faith we as heretics? Besides that even by this you do also grant that you see not but they consent in one with us / touching the corruptions of the Church of England, and our separation from them: seeing he that hath but half an eye man there see these most plainly propounded.
