Theo. I would I could in all points disprove thee herein. But I pray thee consider whence those belly gods are come to us: come not the most part of them from those, whom thou mentionedst even now? Thinkest thou that all those priests and monks, that now hold on our side, are now wholly unpriested & unmonked? Thinkest thou not that the devil hath sent them amongst us, to ••asider the Gospel, having enough to […] his turn beside. Wherefore it is no marvel, if he go about to sow those •ermine under other habit and ⟨image 79⟩••ler, where such Apostates will […] received in their […] habit. For he is contented that they unclothe the outward habit, so they unclothe not their priesthood or monkhood. But tho there be such, yet thanked be God there are other, which are ready & contented not only to be driven away and banished in maintaining the liberty of the true discipline of the Church, in despite of tyrants, but also to give their lives in so good a quarrel.
