It is not well said of you / that term the Confession of Christian faith and defence of publishing it to be questions and se•ds of strife, nor that you say we con man• you to enter into questions. For the conclusion, whether it be true or false / now let others judge which shall see your letters together with ours. Touching the matter, you have enjoined your self silence.

Yet for the matter it self if so be that with the Papists Anabaptists or any the like we did err from the true faith▪ we doubt not but you would open your mouth to answer / to refute / to convince. But because in our faith you can show no error / and yet in this time and estate of things like not o stand for us and this cause it is safest to be silent. Wisely done in deed but not according to God / who denouncing by the Prophet hath said / Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord fraudulently,
