These and many such other things he slanderously & falsely alleged against Bucer,1 whose doctrine (in such sort as he himself taught it) either he would not understand, or else he was minded to slander. And yet he was not ignorant, that Bucer taught none other things then the very same whereunto both he and Scot in the reign of K. Edward the vj. had willingly assented by subscribing thereto with their own hands. While he talked in this wise before the people, many of them that had written verses before, did set up other new, in the which like a sort of waterfrogges, they spued out their venomous malice against Bucer and Phagius. This was the last act of this Interlude, and yet there remained a few things to be done, among the which was the reconciling of two churches, of our Lady, & of S. Michael, which we declared to have been interdicted before.
