But for all that afterward they disclosed them selves unto those, whom (being deceived by their dissimulation) they thought they might well have trusted. But Augustine in the same book De mendatio, teacheth that by this dissimulation of the ⟨image 45⟩Catholics, very many evils & dangers chanced. For there they commend Priscillianus, they unjustly praise his book which is entitled Libra, they allowed the heresy, pronouncing many things which could not be spoken without blasphemy. Moreover that which they did was dangerous: for if they which after this sort dissembling were of any authority or estimation, the heretics might by their commendation be confirmed in their opinion, & those specially with whom they did so dissemble. For those peradventure were Priscillianistes before (although not very firm & constant) which after they heard their heresy to be praised of a grave man, did then stick more & more in their error. Furthermore in thus dissembling, and being conversant with the Priscillianistes, the dissembler also might easily fall into danger, that he him self at length might become of a Catholic, a Priscillianiste. And finally the heretics them selves by the dissimulation of our men, might easily gather, that they did very well, in hiding, dissembling and denying their doings. But that betraying is sometimes lawful in a just cause, and such a cause as is without the dangers above mentioned, not only the reasons which we have before alleged do declare, but we may also prove it by very many examples written here and there in the scriptures.1 The Gibeonites betrayed the rest of the Canaanites, when they fell from them to the Hebrews. Rahab also betrayed her public wealth or king, in receiving, hiding, and sending away them which were deadly enemies unto it: who is said nevertheless in the Epistle to the Hebrews to have done those things by faith.2 Jael also the wife of Aher the Kenite betrayed Sisera, for she by a marvellous craft slew him whom she had called into her and closely hidden: as it shall be afterward declared in his place in this history of the Judges.3 Yea and Jonathan the son of Saul betrayed unto David the will and counsels of his father, as it is written in the first book of Samuel.
