Ad insidiosum Lucae Osiandri scriptum

Would you then consider Theodore Beza (not to mention that great John Calvin, by whose counsel rather than by his living voice our Churches began to be built up) and Peter Viret, those chosen organs of God who themselves taught our Churches with their living voice, to be heretics? I will indeed recount a few (for I could not, nor is it necessary to name them all), so that when your Pastors are condemned by this most unlearned and most obscure man—either for fraud, if they have not taught sincerely, or for ignorance, if they have not known—either this man might be ashamed of such great impudence, if indeed he is capable of it, or you might bear true witness against him, as he calumniously judges such great men, who are so well known to you. Behold therefore, brothers, a few out of an infinite number whom the Lord has raised up for you as Doctors of the Gospel, in addition to those three whom I have already named (Calvin, Beza, Viret): Augustinus Marloratus, Daniel Tuffanus, Antonius Sadeelus, Ioannes Serranus, Ioannes A Spina, Nicolaus Galafius, Villerius, Palmerius, Borgonius, whose singular piety and excellent learning have an undeniable testimony both from their lives and their writings. Some of them, by the grace of God, still survive and shine in the Churches; others, however, have already most steadfastly poured out their blood for the name of Christ. If these lights of the world are unknown to this adolescent and new Mercury of Pandora, Osiander, what wonder is it, since these men are accustomed to reading only their own, lest they be forced to learn better things, and the wanderings of this robust young man for the sake of carrying about his Pandora, and from there procuring for himself some Provostship of the German Churches, do not allow him to know or read much?
