hath tooke vp his seat in a dunce, and you thinke him a saint, because he comes not in the shape of a deuil. We know M. _Pen._ _intus et in cute_, first for a papist, then for a Brownist, next for an Anabaptist, and last for yᵉ blasphemous _Martin_, whose spirite is the concrete compound of all these vnpardonable heresies. But had not the frantike practise of his youth throughly founded his confirmed age in this furie, I woulde haue imagined his vpstart spite, a wōder aboue usual speech, whereas now the coniectures drawen from his cradles, detract frō his mallice all maruels. For whiles hee was yet a fresh man in Peterhouse, and had scarce tasted, as we say, of _Setons modalibus_, he began to affect factions in art, and shew himselfe openly a studious disgracer of antiquitie. Who then such an vnnatural enemie to _Aristotle_, or such a new-fāgled friend vnto _Ramus_. This one thing I am sure of, hee neuer went for other then an asse, amongst his companions and equalles, yet such a mutinous block-head was he alwaies accounted, that through town and Colledge he was cōmonly called the seditious dunce. For one while he would be libelling against _Arist._ and all his followers he knew, another while hee would all to be-rime Doctour _Perne_, for his new statutes, and make a by-word of his bald pate, yea had the Dean, President, or any other officer neuer so litle angerd him, they were sure ere the weeke went about to haue hard of it, in some libell or other.

But for his last discent, _a malo in peius_ from an Anabaptist to be that infamous _Martin_, impute it to the age of his heresies, that are now in there Harvest. Neither would I haue you thinke there was no more heades in it then his owne, For I can assure you to the contrary, that moste of the Puritane preachers in Northampton shire, Warwick shire, Sufolke and Northffolke, haue eyther brought stone, strawe or morter to the building of this _Martin_. Only _Pen._ found nothing but _ry_, which the last part of his name, affordeth sufficiently, you may see what it is for a nest of hornets to hiue together, oh they wil make braue combes to choake bees withal, if they be let alone but one quarter, not so much as T. C. himselfe, but will haue the helpe of his fellow Brethren, if he hath any thing to write against Bishops, were not al the elected in Cambridge, assembled about the shaping of the confutation of the Remish Testament, O so deuoutly they met euery Friday at Saint _Laurence_ his Monastery, wher the counsails and fathers, were distributed amongst seueral companies, and euery one of the reformed society sent there combined quotations weeke by weeke in a Capcase, to my brother _Thomas_, yet wandring beyond sea, such a Chaos of common
