This and such other sayings he allegeth1 (which I pass over) for I count it folly ⟨image 13⟩to spend paper and labour about the rehearsing of them / for if you read my book you shall see all these points so plainly proved that he mought be ashamed to make mention of them.

This he counteth jesting slandering1 and railing saying that no reasonable man will think these points to be things belonging to virtue / but rather spices and branches of pride / and that I show not my self therein charitable but rather malicious nor no wisdom therein / but rather folly / adding that if I had been half year at two schools / that is to say the school of discretion and the school of charity I should more have prospered in virtuous learning then I have done in other schools this .vii. year. And sayeth that I have ben at the schools of slandering railing and jesting.
This he counteth gestinge sclanderinge1 and raylinge sayinge that no reasonable man wyll thynke these poyntes to be thīges belonginge to vertue / but rather spyces and branches of pryde / and that I shewe not my selfe therin charitable but rather malicious nor no wysdom therin / but rather folye / addynge that yf I had bene halfe yere at two scoles / that is to saye the scole of discrecion and the scole of cheryte I shulde more haue prospered in vertuous lernyng then I haue done in other scoles this .vii. yere. And sayeth that I haue ben at the scoles of slanderynge raylinge and gestinge.
