Theo. It is very hard for simple & ignorant men,1 to know the wrong, that these enemies of the truth, do to the true servants of God, by reason of the Devilish subtlety that they use, and their shamelessness not unlike these Devils, that complained of Jesus Christ: and asked him, what he ha• to do with them, as if he had offered them great wrong, and warred against them without reason. For, as for them, it seemeth that they have nothing to say, but that Jesus Christ should suff••• them in peace and quietness: and therefore the fault is not in them, as they say, that there is no agreement between Jesus Christ and them, if Jesus Christ did not trouble them, and were cause of all the strife.
