Ierome desired to deale with Origen that our Countrymen shoulde know your best things and bee ignorant of your worst For my witnesses be in heaven in my owne bosome that no motion of envy gaine glorie irregular provocation or popular ostentation haue drawne me to this but the all guiding spirit of God by the honourable motion of some and comfortable encouragement of others And therefore I doe refraine all disparagements and personall aspersions against you wishing you had done so against those manie worthy Doctors of our Vniversity An act which I know you once disliked in that baaling Priest c His booke entituled de Triplici hominis officio his epistle to the Vniversitie Weston who as if he had beene one of Psilli who only fed on Poyson or the voice of a man in the mouth of a Devill d Esay 36.4 or Rabshekah sent out of Hell to blaspheme God did vilifie all the Bewclarks of learning aliue dead Doctors and governors of our Academy But let his branded character remaine vpon him and his memory Cams curse and Cains marke e Gen. 4.12 vagus profugus in terris The front of your Epistle sheweth at first that you thinke otherwise of vs thē he doth seeing that you stile our students the learned wise ingenious Academicks flowrishing and our Vniversity the renowned Oxford we shall see how you proceede Mr LEECH Experience doth well approue Saint Bernards saying Efficacior lingua quàm litera the tōgue is of greater efficacie then the pen. And therefore I suffer no little disadvantage in that I must now speake vnto you in a silent letter pleade my cause by a mute advocate of my mind ANSVVER It is true efficacior lingua quàm litera but yet melior anima quàm lingua If your pen expresse not what your tongue is able fullie I would your hart woulde conceiue that which your tongue may speake truly that as some thinke there bee certaine strings that passe from the hart to the tongue so there might bee a concatenatiō that what your hart thinketh your tongue speaketh and your pen writeth may so agree that they may be all to the glorie of God the instructing of others and saving of your owne soule For if your tongue could thunder as f Aul.

Austin noted that all marvailed at Tullies tongue but not at his invention and at Aristotles invention but not his tongue I know not that ever you were admired for either But remember to vse the talent given in both as you ought thinke not you suffer disadvantage in that you speake in a silent letter I would it were not silent both for proofe and profit and that your mute advocate were not mutinous Mr. LEECH But since I write vnto thē who are not strangers in my busines but as well eie witnesses of the wrongs which I haue endured as eare witnesses of the doctrine which I preached among you my vndoubted hope is that your harts will be touched with some compassion either toward me vnworthyly entreated by a faction for I will not impute the crime of a few vnto all or towards your selues whome this particular doth very highly import in respect of your learning honor and estimation ANRVVERE You write to those that are strangers to your doctrine not to your person or strāgers not to the hearing but approuing your opinion strangers wee are all to any wrongs done to you not to the wrongs offered by you And therefore thinke you not to touch the hartstrings of our students with a dittie of compassion as if you were as you say wrongfully and vnworthily entreated by a faction Compassion every honest hart will afford you for being misled rather then misused i Lib. 1. de Controver ad Cler. c. 31.
