Certain disputations of right to sacraments, and the true nature of visible Christianity defending…

And on verse 7. he saith (which will be harsh to our Opponents) Ex concione ipsa datur intelligi, multos illerum simulata ⟨p. 86⟩poenitentia etiam baptismū petivisse: Horum hypocrisin cùm non ignoraret, non passus eos latere in turba, nec ad baptismum indignos admisit sed acri objurgatione, hortatione, & comminatione ad seriam resipiscentiam extimulat & ad baptismum praeparat. (where he goeth three steps beyond our Opposers; who 1. will not have us require as necessary so much as a show of this Repentance. 2. Much less the sincerity of it; 3. nor to deny them Baptism as unworthy till they are prepared.) After he shows, that Hypocrites will creep in among the good: partly such as we cannot discern, and those are to be left to the judgement of God; partim manifesti, quos Pastores admittere non debent sine examine, nè Sacramenta prost•tuant, sibi & Ecclesiae reatum attrahant, (How little do our confident opposers fear this!) — Facite fructus dignos Poenitentiae. Pro, Cavete, mihi, vel Deo hypocrisi illudere, sed videte ut veram poenitentiam agatis, ab erroribus & peccatis vestris, & si• baptismum Novae Ecclesiae sacramentum suscipiatis. Fructus poenitentiae vocat, ut palam erroribus, sectis & vitiis suis renuncient, & emendation vitae see novos homines deinceps testentur. Non enim satis est foris poenitentiā simulare, quod etiā hypocritae solent, &c. [And p. 56. against Maldonate, he proveth the Baptism of Christ and John all one; and when Maldonate saith that John baptized [in poenitentium baptismus praecedebat, & poenitentia sequebatur] (confessing, that in Christs Baptism Repentance precedes,) he answereth, [that it is false; ¹Nam etiam in Joannis baptismo praecedebat poenitentia, sequebatur baptismus.]
