It may become you, M. Harding, as well to call the reverend Ministration of Christs Holy Mysteries, a Toy, as to call the Gospel of Christ, Error, and Heresy. So likewise Libanius the Heathen, although a man, I trow, not of your Profession, said sometime, that all the Books, either of the Scriptures, or of any y• Christian Fathers,1 in comparison of Julianus the Renegades Books, were toys. and trifles. Howe be it, Our Toys be the same Toys, that were once used, and allowed universally throughout the Catholic Church of God, before your Mass was ever known, and were then thought no Toys.
