Greg.—But, Anthony, you must be a liar and a deceiver, for I have been credibly informed that yourself, and all your friends, were of the cursed race of Israel.
An.—It is false, we were all honest Frenchmen, and Christians, followers of Jesus.
Greg.—Nay! but you were Jews, for instead of baptizing your infant children, you have all the males circumcised.
An.—You do very wrong to accuse us of that practice; for it is something of which we are entirely innocent.
Greg.—Hey! do you then baptize your children?
An.—We do not, neither do we circumcise them.
Greg.—Nevertheless, you must be Jews, since you say that the law of Moses is still binding.
An.—We say that the ten commandments are still binding.
Greg.—Yes, and instead of observing the festivals of the Holy Church, and honouring the holy day of the Lord, on which he arose from the dead, you were accustomed to meet for worship upon the old Sabbath, or Saturday.
An.—We did, indeed, rest and attend to divine worship upon the seventh day, even as God commanded.
