XXVI. A REPLIE TO THE PRECEDENT letter.
Yours I haue read, and since you cannot giueBetter solutions to my doubts, I grieue
To haue so long insisted on the path
Of your so much esteemed, so empty Fayth.
For, if (as Beza did himself reply
To such as did the same with you deny)
Austin and other Fathers did maintayne
48
Why, as if you alone could neuer erre
Should you your iudgment before theirs 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 heere whether we should credit more
God's word or them, each child can that decide
But whether now Men's iudgments should betyde
To what you hold the worde's true sense to be,
Or that whereon they iointly all agree.
Heere lyes the doubt: when you doe them excell
In this, I'le then returne; till then fare well.
