Conclusion.
To the ende that it may appeare howe vn∣iustlie the Seekers of Reformation are slaun∣dered by the Bishoppes and others, I thought good briese and truely to deliuer the opinions of such as sue for Reformation, which I haue ga∣thered out of their bookes, and seene in their practise, and heard in conference which I haue had with them.
To the godlie Reader.
