f Godd is not nowe again to be repeted / seinge that a
lytell before / in this matter I haue sayde sufficientlie. But if
I wolde spende more tyme here / I mighte reherce many other
doctrines of the papistes in which they do shanfully swarue from
the truithe of Godds worde. And of their errours they will not
chaung any thing at all which prouith them to be obstinate
heretikes. But this that I haue writon is inough / and inough
againe to proue that thei are heritikes. Now let them saie that
we dissent but in ceremonies. But I saie that we dissent in
doctrines. Let the papistes saie that we shold not haue departed
from them / but I saie / they shoulde not then haue departed from
the truithe. Augustine wolde not graunte vnto Cresconius /

[[Aduersus Crescon. lib. 21.]]

that the controuersie betwene the Catholikes and the
donatistes / was a lighte and small contention / and schisme:
But he saieth that they defended an heresie / and that moste
horrible / euen this that they did rebaptize. And yet baptisme
reiterated dothe nomore differ from the worde of God / then
these errours of the papistes / which I haue repeted.

Wherfore Christian princes / whilest they do suffer them in
their dominions / they owghte no otherwise to suffer them / then
vpon suche condicyons as are aboue rehersed. That is / that they
do compell no man to partake their wicked Idolatries. That they
do not permitt them to haue their rites and supersticious
ceremonies. That they take hede / that they do not corrupte
others which do beleaue truly / and be of good iudgemente. And
last of al / after that they haue bene competentlie taughte / to
enforce them outwardly to embrace sownde / and holye rites / and
ceremonies agreinge with Godds worde. Thou wilte saie happelie /
if it shoulde be so / their condition sholde be more miserable
then the condicion of the Iewes / and Turckes / whom we do not
compell to receyue our Religion. I graunte / but yet this sholde
be iustlie done. And that for theis causes. Firste bycause the
Iewes are not Citizens in our common welthes / but receyued
vnder this condicion / that it is lawfull for them to vse their
owne lawes / so longe as they will: wherfore if they do not
behaue themselues well / or they do not please vs / they be
turned awaie and caste owte / as often tymes they haue beene
handeled. And not without iuste cause / when their conuersation
hathe beene hurtfull. But these papistes are our citizens /
