It is no great Crake, M. Harding, to give God thanks. But what uncourteous dealing is this of your part? Sir Defender, and his Fellows must come to you, & learn to speak. Notwithstanding for ought, that may appear, ye are not yet very well advised, how to speak your self. Now, because we say, we thank our God, our Secretary hath made him self a Several God. How be it, you may say, Our Lord, and think him not Catholic, that will say otherwise: and yet make you not your selves thereby any Several Lord. God give you Grace, ye be not severed from the Lord. But wherefore it should be more lawful for you, to say, Our Lord, then for us, to say, Our God, I think it a high point of cunning for you to open.
