But read you S. Augustine, M. Harding: you, I say, that, to use your own words, are so profoundly seen in all the Doctors, that ye may boldly despise all others what so ever: Read, I say, S. Augustine: examine better the Places, and weigh the words: And ye shall find, that he never neither mentioneth, nor toucheth any of these your pretty fantasies: but saith plainly, whether it be so, or no, it may be a question: I reprove it not: For perhaps it is true.

Augustine him self saithe, Valeat mihi ad Perfectionem liberationis tantùm Pretium Sanguinis Domini mei: 1Let Only the Price of the Blood of my Lord avail me to the Perfection of my delivery.

Or thinke you, that S. Augustine woulde turne vs from the Satisfaction of Christe, and sende vs to séeke for any other? Certainely S. Augustine him selfe saithe, Valeat mihi ad Perfectionem liberationis tantùm Pretium Sanguinis Domini mei:
