It pitieth me, M. Harding, to see your trifling. If ye thought it so good skill, for advantage of your cause, to compare us to scolds, wherefore then did not you, although not through your whole Book, yet at least in this self same place, where ye so deeply charge us with scolding, refrain better from such wild speeches, as might seem to prove your self a scold? For, I beseech you, call your words a little to remembrance: and consider indifferently, what women they be, that commonly use the like. Thus ye say, Even so, good Sirs: proudly, wickedly, and fondly ye object: ye show your Clerkly prows: ye Brag: ye boast: Now have you told your scolding tale: Ye join in wicked amity against the Church of Christ: The founders of your Church: The Apostles of your Gospel: Ye are convinced of foul lying: Al men do espy your lying: lie on so long, as ye list: He that is filthy, let him be filthy still. These be your words, M. Harding, altogether in one place. If you can find so many the like in all our whole Apology, condemn us hardly, and call us Scolds.
