Here, M. Harding, ye show your self to be much unskilful in your own Canons. The simplest Proctor in your Courts could soon have told you, that ye are over far deceived. For thus it is written by express words in your own Gloss upon the Decrees: Dicunt, neminem hodiè propter Fornicationem esse deponendum, nisi in ea perdurat: They say, that for Fornication, no man ought ⟨p. 363⟩this day to be deposed, 1onlesse he continue in the same. And, lest ye should in any wise mistrust, or doubt your Gloss, it is also thus noted of purpose in fair great letters in the Margin, Fornicationis causa hodiè nemo est deponendus: Now a days no man may be deposed for Fornication. Were there nothing else to be said, yet this thing only were sufficient.

And, leste ye shoulde in any wise mistrust, or doubte your Glose, it is also thus noted of pourpose in faire great letters in the Margine, Fornicationis causa hodiè nemo est deponendus: Novv a daies noman maie be deposed for Fornication. Were there nothinge els to be saide, yet this thinge onely were sufficiente.
