IN the second chapter he rangeth¹ the field and searcheth out with all diligence what word I have spoken that might be taken in the worst sense / and calleth them railing jesting and scolding ⟨image 12⟩and because he would have me to be abhorred of the reader / he allegeth not only these words that are spoken against himself / but also that are spoken against my lord of Rochester and Sir Thomas More / not that he intendeth to answer for them or to defend their parties ye may be sure / but only to leave nothing behind which should seem to make for him / like a noble orator the words that he reproveth are these.
