Wherein is also, as occasion serveth, answered such places of the book of Doct. Richard Smith, as may seem any thing worthy the answering. Here is also the true Copy of the book written, and in open Court delivered, by D. Stephen Gardiner, not one word added or diminished, but faithfully in all points agreeing with the Original. Revised, and corrected by the said Archbishop at Oxford before his Martyrdom: Wherein he hath beautified Gardiners doings, with asmuch diligence as might be, by applying Notes in the Margin, and marks to the Doctors saying: which before wanted in the first Impression. Hereunto is prefixed the discourse of the said Archbishops life, and Martyrdom, briefly collected out of his History of the Acts and Monuments, and in the end is added certain Notes, wherein Gardiner varied, both from him self, and other Papists, gathered by the said Archbishop. Read with Judgement, and confer with diligence, laying aside all affection on either party, and thou shalt easily perceive (good Reader) how slender and weak the allegations and persuasions of the Papists are, wherewith they go about to defend their erroneous and false doctrine, and to impugn the truth.
