And when he speaketh of miracles done in their churches in time of persecution. I answer, those were not the miracles of your Church but of them that believed the Scripture and suffered for it, as yt heretics do now. For ye had never persecution for your false 1doctrine, which ye have brought in besides the Scripture, nor any that dyed for it: But ye persecute and •lea, whos• ever with Gods word doth rebuke it. And as for your own miracles of which ye make your boast, ye have feigned them so grossly throughout all your 2Legends of Saints, that ye be now ashamed of them and would fain be rid of them if ye wist how with honesty, and so would ye of a thousand things which ye have feigned. And the cause why heretics feign no miracles as ye do, is that they walk purely and intend no falsehood.
