Ye make a foul lie, Sir defender, upon S. Gregory. The Words you recite, be your own, not his. Is it not enough to lie your self, as you do very often, but that you father lies also upon the Doctoursi Thanks be to God, that so ye bewray the weakness of your cause.‡ Neither in any Epistle to John Bishop of Constantinople, as you say in your Apology, nor in any to Mauritius the Emperor, as you have noted in the margin, writeth Gregory,‡ that if the Church shall depend upon one man, y• whole shall fall to ground. I see well, you would fain Gregory had so written. And if he had, yet your argument had been naught. For you take not the right minor, which should have been this, The Church doth depend upon one man, if you would make your reason good, and after the rules of Logic. For where your minor speaketh only of the Popes will, thereof your conclusion followeth not. Dispose your propositions in the form of a Syllogism, and you shall espy your own feeble reason. And if you make that your minor, then grant you that, which you deny.

For you take not the right minor, whiche should haue benne this, The Church doth depende vpō one man, if you would make your reason good, and after the rules of Logike. For where your minor speaketh onely of the Popes will, thereof your conclusion foloweth not. Dispose your propositions in the forme of a Syllogisme, and you shall espie your owne feble reason.
