Against the wonderfull works wrought in Egipt by Moses did those sor●erers Iannes and Iambres rise vp and set themselues with all their diuelish arte and power VVhen the holy ghoste fell vpon the Apostles in the forme of clouen tongues like fire euen of those which were eye eare witnesses thereof there were some that mocked them act 2. 13. saying that they were full of newe wyne The Apostle Paule hauing cast the diuell out of the Pythonisse her maisters were offended therewith caught him Sylas his associate and drew them before the maiestrates who vpon theire incensinge commaunded them to prison act 16. 18. and to be beaten with rods wherevpon they were beaten fore cast into an inward prison or dungeon and theire feete made fast in the stockes VVhen there was brought to Christ Iesus one possessed with a diuel blind and dumbe and that he had healed him so that hee which was blind and dumb math 12. 24. both spake and sawe all the people it is said were amased and said is not this that sonne of Dauid And vpon the same worke wrought vpon an other at an other time the multitud marueiled saying The like was neuer seene in Israel But the Pharises resisted as other workes of his math 9. 23. so both these and said he casteth out diuels through Beclzebub the prince of diuels In a word the mockinges and scourgings the banishments the bonds and imprisonments the puttinge to death of Christ Iesus the Prophets and his Apostles doe testify how the word and workes of god haue bene from time to time resisted Euen so it is now God hauing wrought diuers rare and greate workes there haue bene some found to withstand them and to bear the world in hand that all is but connterfeyting and notorious cofenage Among these the chief are D. Ban●xoft B. of London and Samuell Harsnet his chaplaine and Examiners whose labour day and night it hath bene for the space almost of two yeares and in that time haue they applyed and abused theire wit and authority to perswade this to the world and to this end haue they published a booke called a Discourie 2. tim 3. 8. But as Paule saith of Iannes and Iamhres that withstood Moses and of certaine men in his time of corrupt mindes repr●bat concerning the faith which did then resist the truth euen so the same say I o● these men They shall preuaile no longer for their madnes shall be euident vnto all men as theirs also was Herevnto serueth as the former treatise wherein the truth is declared and these workes published and made knowne to the world for the declaration of the truth is a conviction of the falshood so the treatise following wherein the DISCOVERY is fully I trust answered and the euill name raysed vp and giuen out againste thease workes viz. of counterfeyting and my teaching the some or twoe parts of that booke taken away And when the sord shall yet further pursue the manifestation of these workes disclosing that which is now couered and making that knowne which now is hyd which I doubt not but in due time he will psal 10. 14. mark 4. 22. 1. tim 5. 24. verse 25.
