Thou makest exception, that they were heretics which resisted the bishop and See of Rome in these .500. last years, as Bertram, John Scot surnamed Dunse, Berengarius, Arnoldus Brixianus, Waldo Wycliffe, and Huss, Luther, and Zwinglius, and such other men of the same sort, moreover certain of these were overcome also, and put to death by the Pope. I answer, that as men they might err in many things: but in those things wherein with the Scripture they consent against the See of Rome, I affirm that they erred not, but said the trueth. Whereupon it is certain that Christ overcame by them. What time Micah, Elijah, Zechariah, Amos, Jeremiah and others preached by the word of God against Idols and worshippers of Idols, they were also condemned for seditioufe and heretics: yea and certain of them were taken out of the way: but was the verity vanquished? Antichrist is said that he should have good fortune, and that he should punish & afflict the strong, and the people of God: but men being ministers may be oppressed, the ministry never decayeth. S. Paul sayeth that he is bounden for the Gospels sake, but the Gospel not to be bounden. Therefore hath he overcome hitherto, and shall overcome still, which went forth that he might conquer. They stumble upon this conqueror as at the stone of offence, who so ever, and ⟨p. 185⟩what so ever they be, which seek to interrupt the plain course of the Gospel.
Thou makest exception, that they were heretikes whiche resisted the bisshop and See of Rome in these .500. last yeres, as Bertrame, Iohn Scot surnamed Dunse, Berengarius, Arnoldus Brixianus, Waldo Wicleffe, and Husse, Luther, and Zwinglius, and such other men of the same sorte, moreouer certen of these were ouercomen also, and put to death by the Pope. I aunswer, that as men they might erre in many thinges: but in those thinges wherin with the Scripture they consente agaynst the See of Rome, I affirme that they erred not, but sayed the trueth. Wherupon it is certaine that Christ ouercame by them. What time Micheas, Helias, Zacharias, Amos, Ieremias and others preached by the worde of God agaynste Idols and worshippers of Idols, they were also condemned for seditioufe and heretikes: yea and certen of them were taken out of the waye: but was the veritie vanquisshed? Antichrist is saied that he shuld haue good fortune, and that he should punish & afflict the strong, and the people of God: but men beyng ministers may be oppressed, the ministerie neuer decayeth. S. Paull sayeth that he is bounden for the Gospels sake, but the Gospel not to be boūden. Therfore hath he ouercomen hitherto, and shall ouercome still, which went forth that he might conquer. They stumble vpō this conquerour as at the stone of offence, who so euer, and
