DC XXXI THE ANSVVERE OF A CATHOLIKE LAY GENTLEMAN To the Iudgement of a Deuine vpon the Letter of the Lay Catholikes to my Lord Bishop of Chalcedon By L. B. Anno M. DC XXXI THE PREFACE to the Reader GENTLE READER Lighting of late vpon a litle writtē Treatise intituled The Iudgmēt of a Deuine vpō the 3. Gentlemens Letter to my Lord Bishop of Chalcedon I tooke and read it thinking to find somewhat more then Ordinary in it For hauing heard much talke of that matter being now in euery mans mouth seene also something written but not to much purpose now finding a Booke with the Title of a Deuine I presumed he would say something more then others had done But whē I came to read him I found him but like other men of his owne syde and particulerly so like the Lay Gentleman T. M. his Iudgement vpon the same Letter that I began to thinke it might be the very same man the style discourse and as I may say spirit wherewith both are written being the same And that because then that seeming to be but some Lay Gentlemans doing men made small account of it not vouchsafing it so much as one word of answere Now the same party would speake a little lowder to be heard writing ouer the same somewhat more dilatedly and inserting a little Latin in some places and taking vpon him the person of a Deuine for the substance of both is the same and accusing worthy Catholique Gentlemen of Passion Temerity Pretense of daunger Partiality to Regulars want of respect to Episcopal Authority and the like and all this vttered with so litle reason truth on the one side and so much gall and bitternes on the other as that I could not but be sorry and ashamed to see such a thing with the Title of a Deuine For if such manner of writing ill be seeme any Christian mā how much worse a Deuine who is to be a light of the world teaching men sobriety and temper by word and example hauing truth and reason with him in what he sayth and writeth and deliuering it in such sort as the manner may not betray the matter by shewing any distempered affection For euen that will much derogate from his writing though what he writeth should otherwise be true For euery man knoweth what a myst Passion is wont to cast before mens eyes and how hard it is for a passionate man to speake truth and nothing but truth And this is so much more daungerous where it concerneth the credit reputation of other men which how nice a point it is and how soone how grieuously a man may offend in it no Deuine can be ignorant and especially when the party discouereth but so much of himselfe as may gayne himselfe credit and thereby giue more force to the slaunder or imputation as the wryter doth stiling himselfe Deuine and on the other syde so concealing his particuler person that the partyes grieued know not of whome to complayne nor where to haue remedy And whereas it was to be expected of a Deuine that he should handle the matter substantially and solidly I found no such thing heere but euen the very mayne Question
