That ye tell of a Woman named Joan, bearing the world in hand, she was Pope of Rome, it is a fond and a vain fable. Were ye so wise, as ye be malicious, ye would never have brought your credit in hazard by reporting such vanity. This I account for one of your accustomed lies. By this men may judge, what little store of true things ye have to object against us. Who listeth to see a Learned discourse written hereof, him may is please to read the annotations of *Onuphrius Panuinius upō Platina, de vitis pontificum, 2printed in Venis. And he shall easily believe the whole matter to be fabulous.
