16. Untruth. In the fourth part. 7. chapter, and. 4. Division of this Book, touching that most vile, and shameful abusing of Franciscus Dandalus Gentleman of Venice, that was driven to wallow under the Popes table in a chain like a Dog, reported, as M. Harding saith, by Sabellicus in the first Book of his Second Decade: I have answered, as then I thought, according to truth, that Sabellicus wrote no Decades, but only Enneades: as it might appear by his works printed either at Basil by Heruagius, or otherwhere by any other. Sithence I understand, that there is now extant an other Book of Sabellicus, by the name of Decades, set forth of late at Basil by Coelius Secundus Curio, An. 1560. Understand thou therefore, good Reader, that herein I followed such Books of Sabellicus, as had been long abroad, and were well acquainted among the learned. But that there should any other new Book of Sabellicus be printed afterward, specially so long after the Authors death, I could not prophesy.

These, and such other, good Christian Reader, be our Untruths, so many in number, and of such weight, that M. Harding thinketh him self well able easily with the same to lode a Cart.1
