CHAP. 23. A Reply to his Chapt. 23. Still touching the Tares.
Discusser.
These Tares I shall evidently prove to be Idolaters, and in particular, properly Antichristians. For first, these Tares are such sinners, as are opposite, and contrary to the Children of the Kingdom, visibly so declared and manifest, ver. 38.

Defender.
Answ. 1. These Tares are not such sinners as are contrary to the children of the Kingdom; for then none should be opposite to them but they. For contraries are such, quorum unum uni opponitur. But evident it is, there be more wicked ones opposite to the children of the Kingdom, then Idolaters, and Antichristians, to wit, those notoriously scandalous wicked ones, whom the Discusser nameth in the next Chapter, Drunkards, Thieves, unclean Persons.
