Here, M. Harding, for want of matter, ye thought it good policy, to furnish your tale with store of words: The World judgeth: Blood speaketh: England repenteth: Scotland mourneth: Germany roareth: France bewaileth: Savoy weepeth: Christendom lamenteth. If ye had not well studied your Copia Verborum, ye could never have been halt so copious, nor have been able, so many ways to utter nothing. Ye might happily have said, Your Cardinals cry, and your Pope roareth, and your Friends stand aloof, and tear their hear, and say, as it is written in the Apocalypse,1 Vae, vae Babylon, Civitas illa Magna: Alas, alas Babylon, that Great City.

If ye had not wel studied your Copia Verborum, ye coulde neuer haue benne halte so copious, nor haue benne hable, so many waies to vtter nothinge. Yee might happily haue saide, Your Cardinalles crie, and your Pope roareth, and your Frendes stande aluffe, and teare their heare, and saie, as it is written in the Apocalyps,1 Vae, vae Babylon, Ciuitas illa Magna: Alas, alas Babylon, that Greate Cittie.
