If ye had better looked on your Books, M. Harding, ye would not have been so hasty in dealing Lies. We falsify not that good Fathers Words: but report them truly, as we find them. For thus he writeth in sundry places, of John the Bishop of Constantinople, that first advanced him self above all his Brethren, and required to be called the Universal Bishop of all the world: Universa Ecclesia â statu suo corruit, 1quando is, qui appellatur Universalis, cadit: The whole Universal Church falleth from her state, when he falleth, that is called the Universal Bishop. This is no Lie, M. Harding: Confer the places: & ye shall find the words, as we report them. It standeth not, neither with your profession, nor with your modesty, so uncourteously to use your tongue. We neither Lie our selves, nor father Lies upon the Doctors. God be thanked, his cause is such, as may well be maintained without Lies.
