XXVI. A REPLIE TO THE precedent letter.

Yours I haue read, and since you cannot giue
Better solutions to my doubts, I grieue
To haue so long insisted on the path
Of your so much esteem'd, so empty Fayth.
For, if

We doe not depend (say many) on the Fathers, but on the words of God, &c. But I wonder whether these men euer read ouer the writings of those Fathers, whom they railingly condemne for Sophistes. For if they haue read them, with what face dare they oppose them to the word of God, whom it is euident to haue only relied vpon God's word? but if they haue not read them at al, or but negligently read them, what a shame is it, that the schollers should become their Master's iudges, yea and that before they heare them? Thus farre Beza in lib. Epist. theolog. Epist. 81.

(as Beza did himself reply
To such as did the same with you deny)
Austin and other Fathers did maintaine
78

Those points for true, which you reiect as vaine;
Why, as if you alone could neuer erre,
Should you your iudgement before their's preferre,
And neuer cease their writings to oppose
Against the Scriptures, since they euery clause,
No lesse then you, but with a more profound
And deeper sight, did on the Scripture ground?
The question therefore, as I thought before,
Is not heer whether we should credit more
God's word or them, each child can that decide,
But whether now men's iudgements should be tyde
To what you hold the Word's true sense to be,
Or that whereon they iointly al agree.
Heer lyes the doubt: when you doe them excel
In this, I'l then returne; til then farewel.
