Therefore all this toucheth not them that be unchristened, but them that be christened and answer not unto their Christendom. For Saint Hierom showeth how true Preachers should order themselves, when evil Priests and false Preachers and populus ab his deceptus. i. The people be by them deceived, should be angry with them for preaching the truth. Tom. 5. in Hieremiam Capi. 26. exhorting them to suffer death for the same of the evil priests and false Preachers and the people deceived of them, which evil Priests and false Preachers with the people deceived, be Christened as well as other: and I fear me that Saint Hierome might appear to some Christian Congregation, as they will be called, to write seditiously, to divide the unity of a great honest number, confessing Christ in uno baptismate, uno Domino, una fide, saying: populus qui ante sub magistris consopitus erat, ibit ad montes, non illos quidem qui vel leviter tacti fumigant, sed montes veteris & novi testamenti, Prophetas, Apostolos, & Evangelistas, & cum eiusmodi montium lectione versatus, si non inuenerit doctores (messis enim multa operarij autem pauci) tunc & populi studium comprobabitur, quo fugerit and montes, & magistrorum desidia coa•guetur. To. 6. in Naū. cap. 30.
