I Haue at the length ( with much adoo , 1 1 Not thinking at the first to make any answer here vnto by what reason I was after induced vnto it . got sight of that , which ( by others ) before I had heard you had doone against mee . Wherein you haue so far discouered your selfe , that for a time , after that I had pērused your dooings , I thought it needles to make any further answere vnto you : partly because that such a quarrell is more priuate , then that it needeth to bee imparted to others ; but especially , for that the matter that you bring , is so weake , as that it needeth none to cast it downe , but doth easily fall of it selfe , without any further impugning of it . But when I had further considered withall , howe confidently you are woont to speake on your owne behalfe , when you haue no iote of truth to beare you out ; and howe readie some others are to beleeue whatsoeuer you say : in this respect I thought it best to make you answer , that so both your selfe and others also may better perceiue that oftimes you complaine without any cause ; and that , when as you make most a doe , there is not alwaies any great matter to occasion the same . And so I must giue you to vnderstand , that although in these your dooings you deepely charge me , yet haue I giuen you so little cause so to do , as that whatsoeuer contempt and reproch you did meane to cast vpon me , and by that occasion vpon others also , the same is like all to bee yours , and to redound vnto your selfe the author of it : and that not onely in those things wherein you haue directed your stile against mee , and others ; but also in that which in this edition you haue otherwise brought vs .

Of that which he had doone against me . Of the Title of the booke , wherein he would charge me , to haue bin desirous to haue crept into the credit of it . First , by altering the maner of it to his best aduantage . 2 Against me you haue directed your stile , first about certaine matters going before : and then about certain others that appertaine to the books themselues . Concerning those things that go be-before , first you take in hand the title : & that you set downe in so cunning manner , to your best aduantage , as that although you do not in plaine speech , charge me with any thing : yet seemeth it therby that you could be content to induce your readers to thinke , that I would gladly haue crept into the credit of it , as though it had beene mine owne doing . Howbeit I did plainly set down the supposed author of it , so far as out of the booke it selfe I was able to gather : & further , then the title it selfe did lead . For wheras I did thus set it down A book of Christian exercise , appertaining to Resolution , that is shewing how that we shuld resolue our selues to become Christians indeed , by R. P. & then a certaine space after that , Perused , & accompanied now with a Treatise tending to Pacification , by Ed. Bunny , so distinguishing the one from the other , and putting mine owne name to no more than was mine , & setting those two letters vnto the other , that I found in the end of the praeface following : you haue told your gentle Reader , that I haue giuen it this title , A booke of Christian exercise , &c. Perused , and accompanied with a Treatise tending to Pacification by Edm. Bunny . Wherin although you durst not be so bold , as plainly to charge me , that I would seeme to take vpon mee more than was mine : yet in couert maner you go very neere it , in suppressing those letters that I put to the former part of the title ; and by setting my name in such sort in the end of the latter , as that it might seeme to haue bene set by me to them both . The seely help that you haue for your self , is in your miserable , &c. but plain dealing had bene much better . And that you ment to giue the occasion , Then by striking out a word that made against him . that others might think that I had vsed so indirect dealing , another thing also doth very much boad , if it do not cleerly proue it : & that is , when you came to recite the latter part of the title , as I had set it , ther , because you saw the maner of it was such , as that it would not take it well , that you should so vse me , therfore did you therwithal cut his toong out of his head , that it might not bewray you . For whereas I had noted in the title , that nowe that book of Resolution , was accompanied with that other Treatise of mine tending to Pacification , because that it did plainely import , that that booke of Resolution was before , and none of mine : therfore you strooke out that worde Now , that others might the more easily conceiue that opinion of mee , that therein you laboured to cast vpon mee . If in truth you were persuaded , that you had such aduantage against me in those things that follow , as afterward you would seeme that you are , you might well haue spared this kind of dealing : and either you should haue set downe the whole , as I did , so to affoord me my iust defence ; or else you should haue suppressed that ( togither with the other ) which being seuered from that other , might for your sake seem to charge me with that which I did not . How hee hath altered my name , either of grosse negligence , or some foolish mysterie . Now , that herein you doe leaue out one of the letters of my name ( and not onely here , but continually after , almost throughout your whole booke ) I know not well what to say vnto it . If you haue done it of set purpose , belike you haue some mysterie in it : if it be so , then bring it foorth , and accordingly you shall heare from mee againe , if neede so require . If not , that is , if you haue no mysterie in it , then is your negligence very apparant , that hauing it set down right vnto you , you haue so very often missed it , when you were to set it downe againe . And wheresoeuer such negligence reigneth ; belike the matters are not great , that there we may looke for . But because that this matter was but of small importance , wee will bee perswaded , that you made store of your diligence heere , and would not gladly spende anie part of it now , that so you might haue the more in a readines for that which followeth .

3 After the title you take in hand the sentence of Scripture which I did set vnder the same , Of the sentence of scripture . Iesus Christ yesterday , and to day , and the same for euer . Heb. 13.8 . and therein you charge me two special wayes : and yet notwithstanding you leaue vnto me greater aduauntage against you therein , then you haue any against me , in any part of the whole whatsoeuer . But belike the sentence it selfe being so pregnant as it is , against the very sinewes and marrow of your profession , did at the first , euen at the verie sight thereof , so offend your eies , that afterward you could not deale peaceably with it . First , ( you say ) you see not , to what purpose I should place that sentence there : What fault he findeth in mee about it . you cal it a mysterie ; and you thinke it were hard for other men to coniecture , why I did it . What if you knowe not why it was done ? What need that offend you ? So that the sentence it selfe be good , what neede you be greeued that you finde it there ? Are your gatherings or gleanings of that nature , that such a sentence may not bee allowed such place among them . But because you cannot coniecture , nor others neither , as you suppose , what reason I had there to place it , I will not sticke my selfe to tell you , that which may satisfie you and those others . You must know I had to deale with that , which did not in diuers pointes agree with the truth it selfe in Iesus Christ : which when I laboured to take away , it might be notwithstanding , that I left some vnespied of mee . In which respect , euerie one may plainely see , that it did very fitly appertaine to the purpose : both to be a defence vnto me , for such corruptions as I tooke from it ; and to be a preseruatiue withall , against such corruptions as remained ( if any such were ) shewing therby , that I meant not to commend or leaue any other vnto them , but only Iesus Christ our Sauior . And if you had not blind-folded your selfe , before you came to it , with a setled purpose , to catch at whatsoeuer you might get any holde of , your selfe no doubt must needs haue seene it : so fitlie it doth agree with the purpose that I had in hand , and the argument it selfe doth so plainely witnes the same . Then you proceede to a further matter , and deale more hardly , both with mee , and the text it selfe . The text you would haue supposed to be , not onely in it selfe harde or obscure ; but also one of those Obscure sentences or places , wherewith The holie Fathers noted the ancient heretikes to delight themselues , and deceiue others : and then , comming to mee , that I haue to that ende brought it in ; that is , to delight my selfe , & deceiue others . Wherein that you may preuaile the better , in your margent you send vs to Epiphanius & Augustine , & after a sort to S. Peter too , as thogh we should find the same in them . Who knoweth not , I pray you , that heretiks were wont ( as plainly appeereth now in your selues ) to vse certain sentences of scripture , to establish their errours withall ? But what is that to this purpose ? Haue you anie dowt of any such dealing in this ? must Iesus Christ yesterday & to day , & the same for euer , be now so obscure , so apt to deceiue , & so ready a tricke for an heretike ? I know what you mean : and , if you durst for shame , you would speak plainlier than you do . If Iesus Christ be the only Sauior , for al the ages already past , for the time present , & for the time to com , you see not well where to cog in those other deuises , & mony-doctrines that you haue of your owne . For this cause therfore needs must this also be an obscure sentence , & apt to deceiue : & to vse the same , the tricke of an heretike ? But doe you thinke that Epiphanius or Augustine would sooth you herein : or that S. Peter meant of any such matter ? If they would , find it , & set it down : if not , how is it then ( marke whence you are falne ) that you are not ashamed so fowly to wrest them . What aduantage therein he hath left against himselfe . The aduantage that herein you haue left to me against your self , is ( in comparison ) no great matter ; & yet such as I saide : & such as it is , needs must you heare of it , because you are so ready to catch at others . It resteth therfore in these 2. points : one , that you do the sentence some wrong , to set it down so negligently & confusedly as you do , not distinguishing the members thereof by orderly pointing , as you had it of me , & as it is ( witnes your selues ) in the text it self ; How indistinctly ( & therfore ilfauoredly ) he setteth down that text of scripture . the other , that twise togither you do so resolutely ascribe it to S. Paul . Touching the first it may be but the ouersight of you or your printer : howbeit , both of you ought to haue vsed more diligence in it . The sentence is to good purpose , it is weightie , and of great importance : you ought to haue seene better vnto it ; both he for his part , and you for yours . But I doubt very much , that your Printer hath doone , but as you your selfe set it downe vnto him : and that you haue doone it of purpose , nothing at all regarding how confusedly , nor how ill-fauoredly you serue vs with the word of God . But we will not so take it at your handes . With ill will you are brought at length to haue some dealing with the written worde of God : and very shame hath woon at your hands , not so far to abandon your selues from the scriptures , as otherwise full gladly you would . And nowe that you must for shame doe somewhat , you would gladly do it as ill-fauouredly as you might , that so wee might find , neither life , nor comfort , nor sense therin . But you shall not so abuse the word of life : you shall not shrinke from it , and yet you shall not sliue it neither . Whereunto if we may be so bolde as to adde , that your selfe is one of these Iesuite-friers ( that late ofspring of that ruinous Popedom ) as that R. P. that is thought to bee the authour of this booke , is said to be : you haue done well , so to let the world vnderstand ( and you may do well to marke it your selfe ) what ill accord there is , betwixt Iesus and Iesuites whensoeuer they meete . You had no sooner espied him to be in place , but by and by your stomake rose against him : and some way or other must you needes shewe your gall , there was no remedie . As touching the latter of them , I denie not , but that it is the iudgement of diuers of the ancient fathers , How resolutely hee setteth down , that which the fathers before , nor the learned now , could so fully agree on . that it might bee the Apostle Saint Paul that wrote it ; and , of some that it was : and so likewise of the writers nowe . But yet you cannot bee ignorant withall , that the matter was then in question among them : & yet is , with the learned now . What ground therefore can you haue to affirme so resolutely , that which the fathers of olde , and the learned now , haue not yet so throughly decided ? If you alledge the determination of the church of Rome , we hold it for nothing in these matters now : since the time that you are departed away from the faith , in so manie things as you are : and haue banded your selues against the Lord , and his annointed . And if needs you will looke to be allowed this libertie , that you may so determine vpon it , as you thinke good , you had need first to see how those reasons may be answered , that are to the contrarie : rather than so seruilely to cleaue to the bare iudgement of those , that set it downe as themselues list ( I speake it but of your owne companions nowe ) without regarding vnto what side the strongest reasons incline . Seeing that we do all agree , that it is Apostolical , and the vndoubted word of God , it can be no derogatiue vnto it , soberly to harken further of him that wrote it , neither yet to doubt in such a point of an opinion but so farre receiued , so long as wee see not the reasons cleared , that are to the contrarie . But it may be you wil thinke , that these things are so small in themselues , that the aduantage , that therein you haue left vnto mee , was not to be regarded , nor so to be laide to your charge . Whether it be litle or great , it forceth not now : but this may I plainely set downe vnto you , that the lesser of them both is of that importance , that therein ( as I said ) you haue giuen greater cause or iust reproofe ; than I did to you , or any other , not onely for setting downe the sentence it selfe in such sort as I did , but also in all the rest that followeth . When you were so readie to reproue another vpon your owne surmise , without any sufficient ground for your perswasion therein : you should haue taken such heed to your selfe , as that wherein you condemned another , your selfe were not found more faultie than he .

His idle caueling about the first page , a sufficient pattern of all the rest . 4 Being come thus far , your conclusion is , And this for the first Page . Yea verily : your dealing about my first Page onely , may bee sufficient to teach vs all , how ready you are to pick som quarrel or other ; & what indifferencie or plain dealing we may looke for at your hands , in al the rest . And I will assure the Reader , togither with you , that such as this your beginning is , such & none other is that which followeth : in the one you haue giuen a tast of the other . For such occasion as I gaue you ( in the disposing of the title , & in prefixing the sentence aforesaid ) so to inueigh against me as you do , such haue I giuen you in that which followeth : & as you deal in these things against me , as if there were a fault committed , when as notwithstanding you haue found none , & do not , nor can not lay any to my charge , euen so do you in the rest likewise , as ( I trust ) the indifferent Reader shall soon perceiue . And so you haue done very well , so distinctly to point your finger as you doe , to this your woorthy handling of those matters that you met withall in the first page : & I am content , if so you wil haue it , that it shall stand for a right pattern of al the rest . Be it now whatsoeuer it can be : such as this is , such is the other ; & any man that will , may in this beginning , see the whole course that you do hold vntill the ending .

5 Which that your self may better declare , A friuolous slander of the keies & crown , vpon the Archbishop of Yorke his Armes . as you haue ended with this your first page : so haue you a fresh begum with the next . For there , by placing the arms of the church of York , & the Archbishop ( that now is ) togither , you readily infer ( a conclusion no doubt , that followeth on the premisses , passing wel ) that it is with vs Good doctrine now , & very commendable in my L. g. of York . to claim both keies & crown from Peters seat , which in the bishop of Rome , is made so hainous , & so bitterly inueied against daily . But do you in good sadnes beleeue , that now we haue any doctrine of such matters : or if we had , that we account the same to be good ? or haue you the face to make this comparison betwixt the churches of Yorke & Rome : as though it were none other claiming of the keies and crowne from Peters seat , which in the B. of Rome , is ( as pleaseth you to terme it ) made so hainous &c. but onely such , as by setting down the armes of the church of York , is challenged to the Archbishop there ? If you be but in iest , the matter may be more easilie borne : if you bee in earnest , it is too grosse and too plaine an vntruth , for any to oppose themselues against it . Your owne fellowes will take so ill with it , that your vnshamefastnes neede not to be chastised of any other . As good title thereunto , onely by coupling their armes togither , as they haue any by the word of God . But seing that you haue set the comparison , I will not sticke to put you in mind of one speciall point thereto appertaining . You know how your Bishop of Rome hath claymed both the keies and the crowne ; and that you suppose the same to stand , by very good warrant from the worde of God : on the other side , you know how little the Archbishop of Yorke hath claimed the matters you speake of ( the one of them nothing at all ; nor the other neither in such sort as you meane ) and that your selfe can bee in no wise induced to thinke , that onely by the marshaling or setting downe the armes of the church and his togither , hee may iustly make any claime vnto them . And yet are not you able to finde in the holy Scriptures , any one place whatsoeuer , whereon you may better ground that vsurpation of your Bishop of Rome , as peculiar to that Sea of his ( the Crowne at all , or the Keies either out of his dioces : ) than any bodie els may be able to prooue , that by this title onely , that is , by setting downe of their armes togither , the Archbishop of Yorke may take vppon him those thinges that you talke of . Insomuch that as that can neuer bee prooued , nor hath so much as shew of reason , not anie peece of ground-worke at all : no more hath that of yours in the word of God ; howsoeuer that hitherto you haue otherwise borne the world in hand . And , whereas it appeereth in this your new booke , His printers Alphabet : fit for the matter hee hath in hand . that the first letter of the Alphabet that your Printer hath vsed in the printing thereof ( I meane for the capitall , or greater letters ) is euer deckt with a couple of deuils , shaking out their tailes , and laying their handes on the first letter of those your labours ( as appeereth in al those chapters that begin with the first letter of the Alphabet ( six or seuen in all ) it shall bee as easie a matter to prooue , that your whole Booke ( whatsoeuer thereof is yours ) is of the deuill , only because that by your Printers good meanes in the first letter of your Alphabet they doe so often and so readily meet togither to confer on the matter , or else to confirme it , by such imposing of handes , as there they vse , as for you to proue , that , by ioining those arms togither ( which is all out of which you haue made that large conclusion ) it is with vs good Doctrine now , and very commendable in my Lords grace of Yorke , to claime both keies and crowne from Peters seat . The common prouerbe is , that it is but an ill procession , wherein the deuill beareth the crosse : and that would not sticke ( as weake as it is ) to yeeld a stronger proofe for the one , than is any that you haue for the other .

6 Then comming to my Epistle Dedicatorie , Vpon the Epistle Dedicatorie he associateth himselfe to an there much plainlier you shew forth your selfe in your right and proper colours . And yet in this place I wil say nothing of your so base and homely gibing : much lesse of your altering and leauing out , in that which you alledge out of mee ; seeing the matters are not of any great importance . But the matter that I charge you withall , is , that there you shew your selfe to be so impudently giuen to reproch , euen such a one also , who in manie good respectes you ought to reuerence ( your selfe can easily know whom I meane ) that first you seeme cleane to forget how wicked an ymp he was , that did but discouer that great ouersight of his father Noah , & made report thereof to his brethren ; and did not seeke himselfe rather in silence and reuerence to make it vp , before it had beene further knowne : and what a iudgement it pleased God thereupon to thunder foorth against him by the mouth of his father , & against his posteritie also . There was ( not far off ) a better example in both his brethren for you to haue followed , if you had the grace to haue taken the same : & so much stronger against you , as in this you knowe there was a fault indeed , & in the other you settle your selfe but in the weake report of others , & in your own naughtie surmise . But you make no great reckoning to say the worst you can of any of vs : our Bishops are no Noahs to you ; & therfore that example of Cham crosseth you not . Put case it do not : yet was ther no help with you , but that needs you must ioine your selfe to such a company in so bad an action as that ? When ( by all likelyhood ) you could not bee ignorant , how that same vpon the hearing was found to be a wicked practise , & that by the highest court that we haue , & the parties condemned for it ( who afterward also , for the most & chiefest of them , did themselues confes it ) was your desire of reproching so great , that yet notwithstanding you must take in hand so bad a matter , & sort your self to such a condemned company as those ? But belike you were loth there shuld be any so bad a matter among vs , and you not to haue a hand in it also : & could not find the worst of them al so base a people , but that , in such an action as that , they were company good inough for your selfe . Howbeit , howsoeuer you can be perswaded of them that in such case they we●● meet company for you : yet is it on their partes likely inough that , if they had suspected such an one as you to haue bene so ready to ioine with them , euen that only would haue made the meanest of them to haue misliked their owne dooings so much the rather . And then had it been good , that you had bin one at the first , that so all the rest might haue bin staied thereby . Yet this one thing I can easily graunt you , that you thought your selfe no babe in this , that beeing disposed so to reproch , you chose out such an one , of whom you might be assured , that , after his cause so well debated , & sentence giuen with him in so high a Court as that , he would little esteme of the misreport of such fellows as you . But I pray you Sir , The great lewdnes of his own fellowes in that kind . could you so farre forget your selues , that you had so much leysure , as to quartell at this ? With how great vncleannes you are charged on all hands , and long haue been , & how weakely it is answered by the best of you all , is a matter more cleere , than that I need so much as to point the finger vnto it . And in so great , so vnnaturall , & so monstrous iniquitie of yours , could you so soone let passe the beame of your own eie , for to picke out the mote of an others ? What say you then , as to many other charges of the like effect , so specially vnto the Treatise of that holy Poligamie of yours ? Whether is it but smal vncleannes that the same discouereth among you ? But let old things passe , that you haue before beene charged withall : & it also , togither with them , because it treateth of the other parts of Christendome also . And because that of a discontented Romish English-man , you are become , as is said , a Frenchman now , to goe no further than your owne clergie there , what say you to that latter collection in Le Cabinet du Roy de France : Le Cabinet du Roy de France . set foorth but six or seuen yeeres since , and dedicated vnto the king himselfe , where you haue gathered vnto your hands , a note of a strange and wonderfull companie of wiues , yoong women , and others also , abused by the Popish clergie there ; such for number , as some man would scantly thinke at the first , would be ouermatched at Doomes-day it selfe ? If the vncleannes of that sin had annoied you , there had you a monstrous dunghil of it : if the neernes of it were that which troubled you , there you had it euen at your nose . The number of wiues , that at that time were found ( or at least , noted ) to bee corrupted by you , throughout al the twelue Archbishopriks of France , amount to the number of eight hundred and fiftie thousand , threescore & eleuen , and threescore and two thousand , and two hundred . Of these , where they had fewest , which was in the Archbishoprike of Vienne , and of yoong women , one thousand-thousand , fourescore and one thousand , eight hundred and foure ; & where they had least of this kinde , which was in the Archbishoprike of Vienne also , yet not with standing no fewer , that threescore and eight thousand and nine hundred . And yet besides these , you are noted to haue abused fortie and two thousand , six hundred , fourescore and three others , in Sodomitrie also : and where you abused fewest of al in this kinde , which for this matter was the Archbishoprike of Burdeaux , yet there you are saide to haue abused no fewer than one thousand and two hundred . Besides all which , the purueiors of this their harlotrie , or such as they vsed to bring in this game to their hands , such as we call no better than bawdes , ( and so consequently , fowlie also corrupted by them , though not in their bodies , yet in their soules ) were no lesse than one hundred and threescore thousand , eight hundred , twentie and nine : and the bastardes , and bastards bastards , of this holie Clergie ( witnesses inow of their vncleanes ) seuen hundred , threescore and fifteene thousand , one hundred thirtie and eight persons . Againe , whereas the Clergie of the Archbishoprike of Vienne had the fewest faultes discouered ( for the two former ) and the Clergie of Burdeaux , for the other : yet , that neither you , nor any other of their fellowes besides , thinke much with them for comming so farre short of the rest , if it please you to consider the number of themselues , and of those whom they corrupted , and to lay them togither , you may easily finde , that they were no Saints neither but in this point like to the rest for the number of them . For wheras themselues ( togither with their officers and seruants ) were no mo but fiftie and fiue thousand , & on the otherside , the wiues that they polluted , threescore and two thousand , & two hundred ; the yong women , threscore and eight thousand , and nine hundred ; their male kind also , one thousand and six hundred : in doth so fal out , that they polluted mo than them selues , by seuen thousand & two hundred maried wiues , & thirtene thousand & nine hundred yong women , & al that thousand & six hundred males besides . So that , though you leaue to euery one of their officers & seruants , one ( making them in number but as two partes of three , in respect of their maisters themselues : ) yet you leaue two a piece to themselues , and an ouerplus of foure thousand three hundred and on , either to take as a further bootie to themselues ; or , if you thinke good , to be bestowed on such of their officers as they would haue the likest to them . Wherunto if we ad their purueiors ( or bawds ) which were twelue thousand , & were not only by them corrupted , but also very able men likewise for to witnes this vncleannes of theirs , then also the bastards , & bastards bastardes of this holy Prouince , which were fiftie and seuen thousand & foure hundred : there may you finde witnesses inow ( fourtene thousand & foure hundred mo than themselues , maister , officer , seruant , & al ) to witnes this vncleanes against them . The like might be said of the clergie of Burdeux also : but that one onely example may be sufficient to giue you some reasonable tast of the rest . And as for your bishops ( which , a man would think shuld herein be freest of al ) although themselues be as it is said ( Archbishops , & al ) vnder an hundred : yet those also ( euen themselues alone , without the help of others for them : see what reuerend fathers you haue that come masking here ) haue polluted 468 married wiues , & 900 single women ( & haue among them 540 bastards ) & yet notwithstanding haue abused in Sodomitrie , 124 others besides . Aboue half a score a peece ( one with another ) had in bodily abuse by these holy fathers . When the heades of your clergie are such , I pray you , what may a reasonable man think of the rest ? What further he saith of that matter , I refer vnto your own perusing of it . Yet thus much by him doth plainly appeere , that this vncleanes is generally spred ouer you al : & that your whole popish clergie is not onely infected , but fowly polluted with it . But these things belike were but triflles with you at home : & that other blunder with vs , a great matter abroad . But by your patience , fie on that forced virginitie of yours : most abhominably it stinketh before God & the world . But of this inough : & more than needed , but that needes you must be in these matters so prying abroad , and so blind at home . A wilfull ouersight . That in this place you conceiue that my Epistle Dedicatorie treateth of mortification , and contempt of the world ( which notwithstanding it doth but briefly touch in the ende of it onely ; and that but by occasion also ) and whereas shortly after you doe wrest my wordes to your owne purpose , otherwise than I did meane them , if in simplicitie you haue doone it , then because the matters are not great , I will not trouble your conceite therein . Neuertheles if you missed so far of the argument of the one , and sense of the other , for the hast that you made to come the sooner vnto your vaine of reproching : though the matters themselus be not great , yet therin you deserue som iust reproofe . But it seemeth rather , that of purpose you would so take them , so to make you a readier way to that , which you were desirous thereon to set downe . And then , the more impudently that you were giuen to ioine with so bad a company in so naughtie a matter , the more dooth it argue the fault to raigne in you , and the deepelier you haue offended therein . But if I therein treated of mortification , and contempt of the world , then must you either seperate these things from that deuotion , pietie , and contemplation , that after you speake of , or else must you call backe ( as well you may , for the number of them ) some part of those lauishing speeches that there you vse , or otherwise bee contrarie to your selfe in this . But the lesse that I directed mine Epistle vnto that ende : the meeter it is , that for my part I take not this aduauntage of you .
