3. By this I perceive the meaning of Zanchy also, in saying, That every Christian is bound to believe that he is elect: Let us in the name of God examine our faith whether it be true faith or no; but surely so far as we are persuaded of the truth of our faith, so far have we no cause to doubt of our election. But this of Zanchius is no more to the purpose, whereunto this Author allegeth it, than that of Bucers.

4. In the last place, I come to the relation of Georgius Major of a certain School-Master in Hungary, Petrus Hosuanus by name, for so I find him called in Dietricus, though this Author calls him Ilosuanus, mistaking belike the copy which he transcribed. Now Dietricus relates it as out of Georgius Major as this Author doth. But I wonder not a little that Osiander in his last Century makes no mention of it, that I can find, though I have searched after it, as the Woman in the Gospel did after her lost groat: Whether he gave any credit to Georgius Major his relation, I know not; or whether any thing came to his knowledge afterwards, as touching the unfaithfulness thereof. But take we it as it lies in this Authors relation.
