Il will is ever plentiful of ili words. M. Harding here maketh him self much matter without cause. He teacheth our New Clergy, that Baptism is not only a Sign, or a Token of Remission of sins: He telleth us of the Faith of the Giver: of the Faith of the Receiver: Of the Power of the Sacrament: Of Concupiscence, that it is no sin. And more, I trow, he would have said, if more had presently come to mind. Verily the poor New Clergy speaketh not one word in all this whole place, neither of Sign, nor of Token, nor of the Receiver, nor of the Giver, nor of the Power of the Sacrament, nor of Concupiscence, whether it be Sin, or not Sin, nor of any other like thing. Yet in y• end he taketh S. Augustine's words, without his meaning, and crieth against us, They lie, they study to deceive, they seek shifts. And why so? Certainly because we say, Baptism is a Sacrament of Remission of Sins: And that the Children of the Faithful, for that they be borne in Sin, and pertain to the people of God, ought therefore to be Baptized. Other causes then these in any Our Words he can find none.
Il wil is euer plenetiful of ili wordes. M. Hardinge here maketh him selfe mutche mater without cause. He teacheth our Newe Cleregie, that Baptisme is not onely a Signe, or a Token of Remission of sinnes: He telleth vs of the Faithe of the Geeuer: of the Faithe of the Receiuer: Of the Povver of the Sacramente: Of Concupiscence, that it is no sinne. And more, I trowe, he would haue saide, if more had presently comme to minde. Verily the poore Newe Cleregie speaketh not one woorde in al this whole place, neither of Signe, nor of Token, nor of the Receiuer, nor of the Geeuer, nor of the Povver of the Sacrament, nor of Concupiscence, whether it be Sinne, or not Sinne, nor of any other like thinge. Yet in y ende he taketh S. Augustines vvoordes, vvithout his meaninge, and crieth againste vs, They lie, they studie to deceiue, they seke shiftes. And why so? Certainely bicause wée saie, Baptisme is a Sacrament of Remission of Sinnes: And that the Children of the Faitheful, for that they be borne in Sinne, and perteine to the people of God, ought therefore to be Baptized. Other causes then these in any Our Woordes he can finde none.
