These words of yours, M. Harding, are neither mannerly, nor manly: notwithstanding they seem well to content your pleasant humour. S. Hierome saithe,1 Non aequè inimici audiunt, & amici. Qui inimicus est, etiam in scirpo nodum quaerit: An Enemy, and a Friend hear not both of one sort. An Enemy will (cavil, and quarrel, and) seek a knot in a rush. The Substance of God's Religion standeth not in the reporting of a story. S. Hierome saith of such Captious quarrellers: Audiant à me, non periclitari Ecclesiarum statum, si ego celeritate dictandi verba aliqua dimiserim: 2Let them understand, that all be it I in haste of penning have let escape a word, or two, yet that shall not hazard the state of the Church of God.
