Now we tell you,1 that we cannot find, where ever Johannes de Magistris wrote so impiously, as ye report. Is it not Martinus de Magistris, that ye mean? It is a great rashness, if ye have not read it your selves, to believe such‡ pelting writers, that be of your sects, as ye do, by whom ye seem to be most shamefully and most dangerously deceived. &c. What will be thought and said of you, if we show plainly, that ye have forged a foul lie, and a most false slander upon Martinus de Magistris? For so will we call him, until ye prove it of Johannes.
