If any man brawlinglye should speak these things against God, might not he by good right answer? They be just and right which I have set forth unto you to be observed. But in that ye are feeble and weak, it ought not to be counted a fault in me. For I have excellently holpen your weakness, which for your sakes have given my Son unto the death. If ye shall believe only in him, what so ever ye shall not accomplish in performing my precepts, it shall not be imputed to you to everlasting death.
If anye manne brawlinglye shoulde speake these thinges againste God, myghte not hee by good ryghte aunswere? They bee iust and ryght which I haue sette foorth vnto you to bee obserued. But in that ye are feable and weake, it oughte not to bee counted a fault in mee. For I haue excellentlye holpen your weakenes, whyche for your sakes haue geuen my Sonne vnto the death. If ye shall beleue onelye in hym, what so euer ye shall not accomplish in perfourming my preceptes, it shal not be imputed to you to euerlasting death.
So also may a good Prince answer: I require of you those things which are written in the word of God, and which are decent and do edify. Wherefore if your opinion or conscience be against it, that is not to be ascribed unto me, which have diligently laboured that ye might not be ignorant of the truth and miserably perish. For I have diligently seen unto, that ye should be taught and instructed in the truth, & so will I still go forward in exhorting, admonishing and commanding you: but read ye the holy Scriptures, hear your Teachers, and pray unto God to open the eyes of your mind. These things if the Prince shall say unto those men which do so cavil against him, I do not see by what right, or by what means he can be reprehended.
