Lastly, doth if follow, that because they declined the sifting the truth of these points (as this Author phraseth it) after such a manner, to wit, by public disputation; doth it herehence follow, that they declined the sifting of it? They made ⟨p. 63⟩this offer to propose their opinion herein, and the confirmation of it out of the Word of God, in private before the Prince: and if Jacobus Andreas were pleased to propose any Theses against it, they would take them along with them and upon consideration to address a convenient Answer thereunto; This Beza sets down in that Preface: Let D. Andrews show if he can, saith Beza, hanc Christianae doctrinae partem aut à nostris sive scribendo sive concionando praetermissam, aut a suis rectius & acuratius quàm a nostris pertractatam. And truly for my part, I no way like such conferences, being privy to mine own imperfections, as having neither such strength of memory as to command a present use of my knowledge in these points upon all occasions, nor such command of my passions, as to keep them from breaking forth in such sort as might be obnoxious to censures, not knowing how I might be provoked; but certainly I fear not to come to the examination of any of their Writings, or to offer mine own to be examined by any of them. One thing I had almost omitted out of Beza, in his Preface to the First Part of his Answer to these Acts. It was Beza's motion that all things passing between them on both sides, might be set down in writing, under the hands of Collators; and this course I confess I could willingly approve of, and after this manner to confer with any. But this so fair a motion was rejected by Andreas; He would confer rather by word of mouth then by writing. A second motion proposed by Beza was this, that what was spoken on both sides, might be set down in writing by Notaries chosen and appointed thereunto by common consent. But neither would Andreas admit of this. Petivimus, saith Beza, initio ut utrinque omnia scriptis propria Collocutorum manu subsignatis agerentur. Quod cum D. Andreae non placuisset qui verbis agi malebat (for the Auditory was very propitious to him for the most part) postulavi ut utrinque dicta à probatis & utriusque partis consensu delectis Notariis exciperentur, quae deinde cuique party recognoscere & addita subscription confirmare liceret.
